I love this show and Tatiana is amazing.

Season 4 is the most confusing of all, as it hops around the timeline without any warning. The first episode jumps back to before the beginning of Season 1, revealing what drove Beth the detective to commit suicide (the event which kicked off the whole series), and subsequent episodes keep returning to this time or slightly afterwards, filling in the story with a lot more detail. These scenes alternate with those showing the latest developments, keeping the viewer alert in order to stay on top of what is going on. There are new villains to deal with, in the form of Evie Cho (Jessalyn Wanlim) the head of the organisation responsible for the cloning programme, and a police detective under her control.

The finale of Season 4 is packed with the unexpected. I have no wish to spoil anyone’s enjoyment, but if you expect a nice, cosy, conclusion, you’d better brace yourself. I was under the impression that this fourth season was the last, so was shocked by the ending, but fortunately another season is coming along next year!

Season 5 and the last one starts in June 10th. I can't wait to watch it. Season 4's final was really disturbing with Sarah bleeding on the beach and Rachel back in control.

We've been watching this (series 1) on C4, and really getting into it. It's really intense, but there is humour via Alison Hendrix & related characters. Overall, a very good watch. I thought the Helena stuff didn't work well, that all seemed to come from a different tv show, bolted on. Overall though, compelling and absorbing.

Hmmm... series 2 not so good. In fact, we gave up on it. One endless chase and Helena back from the dead. DNF.

Tatiana is amazing.

I watched this some years ago, and I do think, that in retrospect, it never got back to being as good as that first season. However, you have to keep watching as all the different sisters appear. That the same actor plays them all is quite astounding. I really believed they were completely different people, and that is what makes this show. As for the plot, well, it gets so unblievable that it would be better just to treat it as a comedy.

They're doing a spinoff series .

I've seen the advertisements but from those it doesn't look like Tatiana Maslany is involved. If so, I can't see how it can be the same.
