I just finished a rewatch of Orphan Black. Still not convinced that there weren’t multiple actresses playing all the clones. (There are not enough superlatives for Tatiana Maslany.)

I’m definitely contributing to the Orphan Black ranking!
Couple of things from Nielsen's latest ratings report: Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black has over 1 billion minutes viewed on Netflix, yet I haven't seen much press talking about it. And BBC America's Canadian sci fi series Orphan Black, which ended in 2017, is ranked 7th overall.

Nah.
Violence is never worth its cost.
Never.
Lord, have mercy.

We won’t notice it at first
Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected
Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year
But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths
All because of two men
