Netflix Is Officially Losing One of the Best Sci-Fi Shows of the 2010s
The sci-fi genre is the most mysterious and thrilling, as it can take fans through time, across dimensions, and explore worlds far beyond our reality. The concept of extraterrestrial beings, time travel, interdimensional travel, a post-apocalyptic world, cloning, the creation of zombies, and such keeps fans glued to their seats. While movies like Aliens, Blade Runner, Inception, Back to the Future, Interstellar, Project Hail Mary, and more give fans an otherworldly experience along with some mind-bending concepts in a limited time frame, the genre is arguably even bigger on television. Fans keep coming back season after season to solve new mysteries and explore new horizons.
Shows like Andor brilliantly dish out the drama, action, and political intrigue in the backdrop of a galaxy far, far away. Apple TV’s Severance gives us a thrilling story of missing memories and a company’s dark secrets. HBO’s The Last of Us brilliantly adapts the video game and expands the lore of a beloved post-apocalyptic tale. Currently, Silo is delivering fantastic world-building with one of the greatest seasons of sci-fi television yet.
While fans have a plethora of options today, back in 2013, we were given one of the best sci-fi series ever, Orphan Black. Led by Tatiana Maslany, who plays multiple characters throughout the show, and co-created by Graeme Manson and John Fawcett, the series became highly successful, earning awards and fans’ love in equal measure. It has a brilliant concept that deals with the ethics and morality of human cloning — all wrapped up in compelling performances and a thrilling narrative. Now, fans are running out of time to watch it.
‘Orphan Black’ Is Leaving Netflix Soon
The series follows Sarah Manning (Maslany), who witnesses the shocking subway suicide of a woman named Beth Childs, who looks exactly like her. Desperate to secure a better life for her daughter, Sarah steals Beth’s identity and savings. Things take a turn when she learns that Beth was a police detective entangled in a massive conspiracy. She soon uncovers a startling reality: she is part of an illegal, widespread cloning project and has many “sisters.” Now, she must evade assassins, corporate tracking, and religious extremists while trying to uncover who created them and why.
Maslany rises as the true star as she pushes her talent to deliver each cloned character with different mannerisms, postures, accents, and psychological profiles, which won her an Emmy. While fans can currently enjoy the show on Netflix, it’s leaving soon. The series will be removed by Netflix on August 31, despite an ongoing appetite for it, as per CBR.
So check out Orphan Black on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
