    Spoiler-free recap
    Great Orphan Black recap show with no forward spoilers (co-host Kathy is watching for the first time while co-host Jean is a rewatch veteran). The hosts have good chemistry and love the show and characters. This is a great way to remind yourself what happened in early seasons if like me you’re coming back to the show after a hiatus.

    The excitement continues!
    I enjoy hearing new people enjoying the best show of the last 5 years. Jean and Kathy help share the OB fun
