Sorry, Clone Club fans: This show simply doesn't capture the original's glory
“Why don’t I know who I am?” a manic Lucy screams in Orphan Black: Echoes ’ opening minutes. This question looms large in AMC’s 2050-set drama, which premieres June 23, as she grapples with her identity—or rather, the lack of it. She wakes up in a sunny living room to the sound of chirping birds with no idea of her past. That’s because she doesn’t have one. Lucy is a brand-new 4D printout of a human being, a technological marvel. It’s an intriguing sci-fi premise that pays off decently.
AMC has kept Hawes’ character details under strict embargo, including her name, which is a tad silly because Echoes aired in Australia last year, so the spoilers are already out there. But you should know that she is the major connective tissue to Orphan Black. Her subplot has all the ingredients for a nostalgic, suspenseful, and tragic genre story. It’s really too bad, then, that she’s not more of the show’s focus.
