The third season, which premieres Saturday night at 9, adds still more layers to the conspiracies, including an expansion on the season 2 finale plot twist that introduced a parallel project, Castor, that produced a series of male clones, all played by Ari Millen.
But the mythology got so dense, and forced so many abrupt changes in loyalty among both the clones and their various enemies and allies, that at a certain point I resolved to just pay attention to the character work, the comedy, and the episode-by-episode thriller material and not focus much brainpower on trying to keep track of who's in charge and what their agenda is. The BBC America sci-fi drama still had Tatiana Maslany's remarkable performance(s) as a series of clones on the run from their makers, and it had turned each clone into a fully-realized character, many of whom could potentially carry their own show without the others. In its second season, “Orphan Black” came perilously close to collapsing under the weight of its many interlocking conspiracies.
