BBC's "Orphan Black" (Season 5)

They seem to feel like a movie could happen a few years down the line.

Hopefully Tat is on board.

Turn was really good, OB was okay.
The reason I mention both shows, was for me, they took opposite trajectories towards their respective end points. OB started off very strong then started to fade, while Turn started off a little weak but finished strong.
Tatiana Maslany was very good in this. I was surprised to see her with not only 0 GG wins, but only 1 nomination. Really looking to her new film Stronger which is due out next month.
Definitely going to miss Donnie/Alison and Felix. They were some memorable characters for sure!

She does have 2 Emmy noms and one win.

Sure, but not GG!

I think the finale was handled reasonably well.

[Show spoiler]I like how Sarah Manning (My favorite clone) and Art were a major part of taking down the remains of Neolution at Dyad. During season 1 I would've never guessed Helena would make it to the end. Helena's flashbacks were a nice touch. Probably something they should've added earlier in the show's run.

All in all, an excellent show with a terrific lead in Maslany. I think the show was at its best when the narrative was linear and focused. I need to go back and watch season 1 again. I remember some of those early episodes with Sarah Manning posing as Beth very fondly.

I searched but couldn't find any information on whether or not the UK releases are region free. And while the backs are actually posted, they don't show region coding. Anyone have any idea?

Both S5 and the complete series are being sold in the US.

Thanks. I was asking due to the price though. More specifically, the first few seasons. I can get them for far less by importing them. I do have a multi-region player, but I still try to stick to releases that are A-compatible. So if any of you guys are able to test, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again though!! ♥

I finally binge watched the last season this weekend. I thought the last season was great and I really loved this series, it will be missed. The only thing I didn't like about the last season was

[Show spoiler]bringing Mark and Gracie back just to kill them off. I didn't think either character deserved that fate, but I guess they wanted to give every character an ending.

The Japanese remake of this is terrible.
