El: Do you want to watch Orange is the New Black?
Ella: (Original answer) No, I have books to read and other things to do. Who has time to watch all of these shows? (Revised answer) Not right now, but I might be getting kind of interested in Orphan Black...
"With one exception, the male characters of Orphan Black are
purposefully insubstantial, bordering on feeble. This gender reversal is
not an accident on the part of the show’s creators, Graeme Manson and
John Fawcett; it’s clearly a conscious decision, and it effectively
delivers the show’s most potent message about the nature, quality, and
persistence of the enemy."
