I just finished episode one and... Holy Crap! I like it and want to go watch the rest now

Edit - Sweet! I've finished up to episode 9 now and can't wait to get 10. This is the best new show I've seen since Justified, excellent stuff

I do the same thing.. I'll sit & watch a whole bunch of shows I've stored up

It;s actually easier to follow..especially when a show has a lot of characters who look alike

3. this show only gets better each time - I want to discuss plot points,

can we do that with people just starting?

Yesterday I cried for Helena and her living hell. I used to think that Sarah was the original, now I don't know. Why is this woman hunted, do the tags cause the differences in personality an/or health? Finally warming up to Allison.

i can't believe how difficult it must be to play all these roles, this is an acting master class, I hope she is well paid because she has to be exhausted.

The actress--Tatiana Maslany--is a terrific actor---one of the best.

...Thomas Weston-Jones as Detective Kevin Corcoran in Copper.

Both Tom (British) and Tatiana (Canadian) are very young actors with a great future ahead.

I really appreciate that we have BBCAmerica and wish we could have a direct line to more CBC shows.

7. BOY... I love this series...

Like most stuff on BBCA, the writing is great, but the actors... Ahhh... this is a great one and it figures that it would be renewed for season two.

I was reading that Tatania (sp?) is finds something of herself in every one of her characters. She manages to carry individual personality and body language off so believably well. What a great series.

Hey, the Brits still rein supreme in this stuff, don't they?

13. Wow... What a great season finale (no spoilers)

I really like this show... It moves at a much faster pace then most TV series. For only having ten episodes, a lot happened. Lots of nice reveals, new mysteries and even some resolutions... All wrapped around some great writing and great acting. I can't wait for season 2.

so much stuff covered.

Do you read the recaps by the writers of the show on BBC America's web site? It gives me a lot of insight to plot points I may have missed. There are sometimes misdirection there though.
