This political commentary you're talking about are references to everyday real-life events. Just because you don't relate to them doesn't mean that they're ruining the show. You can just easily mute your TV when they come or skip them if you're watching online, but to others, these simple lines mean so much. I admit that saying "It's ruining the show" is exaggerating, what I meant is that it disengages me from the episode and it sucks because I have really enjoyed this season, I can't exactly mute it because how would I know when those comments are going to be said lol. I think constantly adding political commentary all the time isn't a good idea because it is so frustrating, they can use other words to say what they mean but this show in particular has a habit of shoving their opinions anytime they can Each character has their own opinion which is also something happens in real life. I think the writers of the show are trying to make it as realistic as possible (even if it's about an alien superhero lol). Well even with the aliens, the show takes place in a city in the U.S. So this commentary does make sense.

BTW TheDoctor230 i am not hating on your political opinion cause frankly i don't live in the U.S. Here in Canada, i wouldn't care if Orphan Black or other Canadian shows started using lines said by Trudeau. It really doesn't matter too much. It is just a line like any other at the end of the day. You can take the line in like it is part of some horrid agenda, or you can just have it be like any other line in the show. A harmless line said by the characters.
