It was great to see Patton Oswalt and Damon Lindelof tweeting their love of the show, and Tatiana Maslany's amazing performance(s).
A lot of TV critics are pushing for her to get an Emmy nomination. It is always an uphill battle given that it is a genre show, and BBC America is just getting started in originals. But here's hoping.
The series and the actress both got nominated for a Television Critics Association award.

Indeed. And there have been a number of television critics who have been big advocates of her and the show from early on. Which put some extra wind in the sails towards an Emmy nomination. We'll see. . .
That's impressive. She beat Clare Danes, who basically won every single lead actress award this year and last year. Keri Russell, too. The Americans has been called the best show of 2013 by a lot of critics and viewers and most had Russell pegged as the winner of most of the lead actress awards for the rest of the year. But Orphan Black premiered, and we had a new candidate.
While I believe The Americans is a superior show and I like Keri Russell more as an actress (probably because I've been aware of her about 2 decades longer than I've been aware of Tatiana Maslany), I think the win was well-deserved.
@JamieD: Guess you got distracted by the hot chick ;) There are many shots which declare that the place is Toronto (Canada....). For instance: the travel itinerary at Elizabeth Child's place depicts a flight from Toronto to Cleveland, the cars have Ontario license plates, Toronto News Channel on the Tele, etc...etc...
But Tatiana Maslany truly is so darn hot.......
They do make mention of a train to NYC in the opening, that is where she is on the tracks. I didnt get any vibe of Canada in the show other then seeing the mention in the end
Also surprising is The Americans not getting any major nominations. Like I said above, The Americans is one of my favorite new shows of 2013 and has been hailed by some as the best new show of the year, but they were completely shut out of any major categories. The show was only nominated for Guest Actress and Main Title Theme.
I agree the nominations were disappointing. Not that surprising, though. In both cases, these are small (especially in the case of BBC-America) channels up against a lot of bigger or more established ones, and Tatiana Maslany was matched against a list of already-established movie and TV star names. Maybe next year.
I am also bummed Americans didn't get more, that is also an excellent series.
The award shows get stuck in these awful cycles that leave no room for new talent. TV is so fantastic these days the same people should never win an award twice.
My wife and I just watched the entire season a week or two back and really enjoyed it. Kept us guessing the whole time. Have to love a show that can still manage to do that in this day and age.
On Friday you can follow this link to find the episodes. (And it looks like at least the first episode of Season 1 is available to watch now, if you stream it with ads).
And if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can watch seasons 1 and 2 already anytime.
I just marathoned the last six episodes of season 2. Bring on the clones. xfinity has seasons 1 & 2 on its on demand service. The episodes are included in my cable package, but it's likely cable services will vary.
Some bittersweet news for Orphan Black fan (Clone Club). BBC America announced that Orphan Black will return for a 5th season. However, season 5 will also be the show's final season.
I think it's good that they are going to bring it to a conclusion. Too often, series go on way too long, and it was pretty clear in season 2 and 3 that they didn't exactly know where they were going all the time.

A little birdie tells me it is going to be a cool season. With 100% more talking scorpions than last season.
