What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Orphan Black.

Intriguing show that entertained throughout, backed by one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen in tv by Tatiana Maslany.

Besides everything else, the show is a master class in acting. Every character has her own walk, speech pattern, and gestures.

Her acting skills on the series were amazing! She was my main reason to start She-Hulk, but meh.

Not sure if it depends on the region, but AFAIK Orphan Black it's a Netflix original and it's not on their platform anymore. I found out because of a mexican series, Triada which is way to similar to focus on the bits that make this story original.

iirc I first saw it on BBC America and haven't seen it offered on Netflix in my area.
