It's back to basics for the cult show as the fourth season kicks off in lean, fresh and easier-to-follow fashion. Season 4 opens with Sarah's hard-won refuge in Iceland getting shattered by a Neolution attack...
As a fascinating trip back in time, a refresher course on Neolution, and a new character introduction, "The Collapse of Nature" is a welcome return to what Orphan Black does best.
A series like Orphan Black calls for experimentation and pushing the limits in terms of technology and story, but where it really shines is in focusing on the relationships between the core clones, issues of identity and free will.
Orphan Black Season Four is the metaphorical train of the series... From its trips to the past and the development/introductions of characters, everything is coming to a head when the series ends next year.
The unusual, creepy premise makes for fascinating yet increasingly frustrating viewing, especially as the show kicks off its fourth season... and delves into how the clone mystery started in the first place.
Orphan Black should be particularly susceptible to this Curse of Meh... Graeme Manson and John Fawcett really have no business starting off the fourth round of Orphan Black so strongly. And yet, they have. With a flashback, no less!
Though Orphan Black's Season 4 premiere didn't advance the present-day story much, it did offer a good refresher on the Neolutionists and Beth's past -- both of which will likely factor in heavily to the rest of the season.
The creators consistently delivered smart, fascinating twists and turns all throughout the first three seasons, and it looks as though the trend will continue in Season 4.
Orphan Black uses the unique qualities of its narrative, and especially Maslany's tremendous performance, to play with our expectations, to make us question ideas we take for granted.
