For five seasons, Orphan Black has given us a world of complex women worth watching.
Alison could have easily been a stereotype of the anal-retentive, pill-popping suburban housewife.
Cosima, the weed-smoking hippie lesbian.
Helena could have been the simple, brainwashed cult victim.
Alison found her warmth and much of her depth in the scenes she shared with Felix.
Sarah was intriguing from the beginning, when she showed her competence as an investigator while impersonating Beth.
Cosimas sexuality was never presented as an oddity, fetishized, or up for debate.
Helena was shown going to any lengths for her miracle babies.
