orphan black is a show about women's agency and includes a lot of potentially sensitive topics. helena's backstory in particular involves abuse, violence, religious extremism, and self harm. while her past is not likely to come up on the regular, please comment below if you would like me to avoid bringing it up ever or to keep it as vague as possible! as she is a literal killer as well, please also comment if you would like to avoid any mentions of the brutal violence and/or murder helena commits.
