Next: Television shows featuring clones and the clones that are in them.

1. Orphan Black - Sarah Manning, Alison Hendrix, Cosima Niehaus, Helena, Rachel Duncan, etc.

(Since I don’t know if we can find 13 shows specifically about clones, then episodes featuring clones is also acceptable)

Yes. MonkeyMensch, please don’t start a new topic until the current one is finished.

That said, are there really all that many television series that feature clones?
