Premiered today on Australian streaming service STAN.

No! I hated that ending. What a downer -- only a couple of mild wins in characters reconciling or getting the hell out of Dodge, but pretty much everyone ended the season sad or dead. Jules was my favorite character, too.

I am on episode 7 of this show, and I feel safe in saying that it is not good. It was promising in the first few episodes, but I started to see the cracks when "old" Felix was introduced. The original series was phenomenal, but this is embarrassingly bad.

Great potential, but poor writing.  
 

I never understood why those with no memory were so angry about being created.  

In the future would they really have paper photos on a screen? 
 

It seemed to me that Kierra was the real genius, not Eleanor. Why not make print outs of her?  Yes, I know Eleanor was accomplished too.  I guess Kierra was reprinted in the end, right?  
 

I somehow believe the original Jules will  be resuscitated with the printing of a new head.  Lol 

I’m not sure if I will return for another season of this. Too many issues and unsatisfying each and every week.

Hmm....was that supposed to be young Kira in that room at the end? If so, then they should not have used the same actress that played Jules, who was young Eleanor. Just slapping a blonde wig on her isn't enough! And it looks like Skyler Wexler may have been available and was approximately the right age when this was filmed, so why not use her?

I'm also disappointed that there wasn't a cameo by Maslany, even in "old" makeup. Especially if she was playing Cosima, Alison or Helena.

I'd have stayed far, far away if I were Maslany, as well. There's no surer way to crap on your best work than appear in a derivative knockoff.

Also, I think Jules 2.0 is supposed to be the Rachel Duncan to Jules' Sarah. 

I'd have had far more tolerance for this show if it weren't Kira Manning printing people out. Jesus. Just set it in the same universe and use your own characters, show.

I thought Rhona was wearing a wire and was trying to get Kira arrested. The blackmail angle was way better. Although maybe snatch the phone? Kira's ace in the hole is that Darros printed himself too. I would have brought it up when she was with him one on one. Neither really have a leg to stand on. 

I'm surprised Reed Diamond doesn't know sign language. Lots of kids in school now learn it. I'd like to know why he's so devoted to Darros though. 

I don't know how I feel about 12 more printouts running around. One of the problems I had with the OG was that there were too many clones running around. Darros' plan for them does hold up so I'm not calling bs on it. I think I would have preferred Jules and Lucy to uncover the plot over the course of the show than Darros to just explain it all at the end. 

It's a good billionaire wants to shape the world plot and certainly credit to the originality. Not so sure why I wasn't printed out versus Kira! I wasn't expecting she was the last scan. 

I'm not clear on how Xander has the memory of Darros killing off the prior printout. That wouldn't have been in the scan of a young Darros because it hadn't happened yet. 

Well, I have to say a show is quite bold for straight up murdering a teenager. I wasn't expecting Jules to get got! Say hi to Jules! The end!

Well, having now finished the series, I was let down by the last episodes.  I thought it was interesting to begin, but that it got bogged down in the later episodes.  I read in the media thread that it has been cancelled and I can understand why.  

I am glad that I watched it though as it just reminds me of how much I liked the first few seasons of the original (Orphan Black).  I think what bogged down this show is the same that bogged down the original (IMO) which was the focus on the conspiracies rather than focusing on the core clones.
