Show that I'm addicted to

I mentioned that I have become addicted to a show I found on Amazon prime video. It's called "Orphan Black". Not sure why they call it that but they do have a Canadian logo at the end so I don't give Canadian things too much thought or it hurts my head.
In the show it starts out with a girl who has recently gotten off of drugs and is returned to the town where her daughter is. She is cleaning up her act but still has no money or job and wants to get her daughter back. She gets off the subway and sees a woman walking up to a map near the subway line. Woman takes off her shoes and sets her purse down. The main character Sarah starts walking toward her I think to grab her purse. As she gets near, the woman turned around and she sees that they looked like twins. The woman then steps in front of but subway train to commit suicide. Sarah grabbed her purse and through a series of events related to this woman finds out she is one of an unknown number of clones.
She finds out this woman had $75,000 in the account and decides to get that money, take her daughter and the foster brother she grew up with and disappear. Course it doesn't work out like that. She assumes the woman's identity goes to get the money and finds out she has to wait to get that much cash. So while she's at a woman's apartment looking for other things of value she gets trapped in becoming this woman's identity.
So when a very short time she finds out the identity she assumed snowballs and she is trapped. She finds out about the other clones and that's someone is trying to kill them. From there there's too many twists and turns to even begin to do it justice. There are 5 seasons I can watch and I'm now into season 2. My wife watched a little bit of some with me before she went to sleep and she said she had extremely strange dreams at night. Now I'm addicted and can't wait to find out what happens next.
