Genius!

Yes, and I think MK was part of her designated number, similar to 324B21 (Cosima).

Alison grew up there as far as I know. Mrs S came from London with young Sarah and Felix. They have kept their accents, as sometimes happens. I think Mrs S gives a sort of explanation about leaving Britain so I won't spoil it

This is a much better argued version of the reply I just posted above!

Agreed. It's the loose cannon, grifter, impulsive side of Sarah that gets her into and out of so many situations and thereby enables them to hang the wider plot onto her struggles. Alison is a fantastic character, but with her essentially staying at home waiting for stuff to happen, it would not have led to such…

Great stuff - really interesting to get such detailed reactions from such an early stage. I'm not going to comment back much for fear of spoiling, but glad you are enjoying it. Once you commit, there are some amazing things to come, and Tatiana Maslany goes from strength to strength.

Not sure I "enjoyed" episode 502, but it certainly had an impact sadly, and recast one of the characters firmly back on the dark side. Totally agree about the overall worth of every episode: there's always something going on, some plot-line being advanced, or some moment of Maslany brilliance to enjoy.

Reminded me of Beth and Paul from season 4.

She really did! My wife said the same: she said in particular how she looked like Sarah!

You need to start at the start. I was hooked within 5 minutes and watched the first season in one evening/night/early morning! Ignore the advice below to skip episodes - sheer folly! I have watched the whole thing through, several times, way more than I have for any other show.

100% yes. Season 2 and 3 are a mixture of brilliance with some possibly false steps (I guess that's why you stopped after two episodes). Season 4 is the best yet, with Tatiana Maslany somehow getting even better than before, performances that finally sealed the Emmy

Yes, if that is canon, so to speak, he is pretty irredeemable, as fun as James Frain plays him

The pink hair net was perfect!
