Orphan Black, Vol. 1 by Cat Staggs, Szymon Kudranski, Jody Houser, Graeme Manson, John Fawcett

1.0

This was really disappointing to me: very fragmented narratives, with a lot of repetition from season 1 (certain scenes were literally word for word from the show), and sadly none of the backstories explored really told me much I didn't already know from watching (we got a few new tidbits about Rachel that were interesting, and a smidge of Helena's past, but other than that...). I would've liked to see a deeper exploration of the characters' past, or perhaps a look at the clones who were deceased at the start of the show that we didn't get to know. Wouldn't recommend to fans looking for more since the stories are very bare bones/don't add much to the established narrative, or to newcomers, because the narrative is written mainly for those who've already been watching. If I'd gone into this without having seen any of the show, I definitely wouldn't have been able to follow it.
