6. Orphan Black
This science fiction series airs on BBC America and premiered in March 2013. The plot is smart and the characters are edgy. Even though the main characters are all played by one extremely talented actress, there is so much to love.
The premise is based on a con-artist woman who learns that she is a clone, after seeing someone who looks exactly like her, commit suicide by jumping in front of a speeding subway car. After assuming the dead woman’s identity, she discovers that she has other sister clones that were created by a biotech corporation. As the plot thickens, additional clone characters are introduced and a silent religious group is discovered who is trying to kill them off. Men who have ignored this show will be in for a welcome surprise.
