What do you think? Are you sad that the Orphan Black TV show ended with season five? Should it have been renewed for a sixth season?
I just found it on demand and watching one episode after another. I’m sorry to hear it’s been cancelled. I was looking forward to more.
The show wasn’t cancelled. The plan was always for 5 seasons.
There have to be a season 6. Orphan black is the best show I’ve watched in a long long time. The writer is good and am sure there can be a season 6,7 And 8. Best show ever.
This was one of my all time favorite shows. All characters were brilliantly cast. Please do NOT do a 6th season though. If you’re going to drag the story on, it’ll lose its appeal. Like with Breaking Bad, all good things need to come to an end. I hate it when good shows get screwed up when they start milking it once the story’s done. It was good, everybody thoroughly enjoyed it, now it’s time for something else (and preferably as good as this).
WHY????? EVERYTIME i find a new show that i LOVE (&binge watched all 5 seasons in a matter of a week) its gotta be cancelled???? It is such a good show!!!! It needs a proper ending if your gonna end it…this wasnt the right ending for it.please be a season 6 at least!!!!

Damn the ending of season 5 has got to be continued, they just got back Kira, Rachel took out her fake eye. Now where will Sarah and Kira go? What will Rachel do? Will Brightborn still be continueing their psycho experiments? They still have the patents….. Season 6 should definitely come!
I’m so upset that there will be no more Orphan Black, such a great program. Please bring it back
