It's not like I disliked season two, I just kinda found myself distracted all the time while watching it, to the point I dropped it and never looked back.

I've been poking around the Cyberpunk genre which has made me think of Orphan Black again. Maybe I'll poke around it again during the holidays and see if I end up binging the remainder of the series.
I actually just recently finished Orphan Black after years of hearing how good it was. I definitely liked it, but it can suffer from the same holes other Sci-fi shows like Lost had. There's always another mystery or secret organization higher up the ladder. And while I thought it was a good show and had a satisfying ending, a lot of questions were disregarded to wrap it up.

It's definitely carried by some brilliant performances and demonstrates Maslany's range.
