Warning: Full spoilers from Orphan Black: Season 3 follow.
Orphan Black's third season had a lot to live up to after it was revealed there was a male clone strain in the mix. On top of the show's many other factions, Project Castor felt like a needless addition, at least until everything else had been resolved. Surprisingly, though, the series handled the shake-up rather well, establishing a dichotomy between Castor and Leda. And while parts of this season didn't quite click into place, the underlying conflict here was mostly strong and offered great subplots for several of the characters.
That said, Season 3 took a little while to get moving in terms of the overarching storyline, and the Castor clones themselves weren't particularly well-drawn to start. It made sense that they would be more alike than the Leda clones since they had all been raised in a military environment. But that ended up being an uphill battle for co-star Ari Millen, who wasn't given nearly as much to work with as Tatiana Maslany was in the early going. Fortunately, as we learned more about Castor, it was easier to relate to characters like Mark, Rudy and even Dr. Coady, if not the other boys.
