Legion.

Orphan Black.

Black Sails.

Orphan Black is amazing for the acting alone. I'm surprised Tatiana Maslany isn't in more things.

Behind the scenes detail I love. They had a 'clone double' who who would read the lines when two of the sisters were talking to each other. The double had to play as many characters as the lead, and often gave her ideas on how to do a scene. The double was seen in a few of the later episodes.

As much as I love Orphan Black, I'm glad it ended when it did because the writing was beginning to go downhill in the last couple seasons. In fairness there's only so many times you can start a season by revealing yet another secret faction within the shadowy human cloning organization before you lose all credibility.

Don't click the link if you haven't watched the entire show, because it has spoilers.

Another series is Orphan Black Deviations; a version of the show where Beth the Cop doesn't kill herself and talks to Sarah instead.

Legion was amazing

An excellent show, but difficult to watch if you're on the continuum.

I can't figure out why it's not more talked about.

I mean, Aubrey Plaza's scenes alone should ahve made it an internet favorite.
