Much anticipation surrounded the release of Orphan Black: Echoes, a sequel series to the beloved science fiction drama Orphan Black. However, the series falls flat, delivering a bland imitation of its predecessor rather than an exciting new chapter.
Despite strong performances by Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes, the series struggles with uninspired writing and a lack of originality. The reliance on flashbacks feels like a crutch, hindering the pacing and engagement. The supporting cast provides little to no substance, further weakening the overall production.

Echoes lacks the charm and creativity of the original, offering a mere shadow of its former self. The attempt to go into the ethics of human cloning lacks depth and offers nothing new to the conversation. The series feels like a pale imitation of its predecessor, failing to capture the essence of what made Orphan Black so charming.
Orphan Black: Echoes is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to the legacy of the original series. Despite strong performances from its leads, the series lacks originality, creativity, and fails to offer anything truly compelling to its audience.
