I can't stop watching Netflix's new show Orange is the New Black. I had read and heard a lot about the show -- my good friend had recommend the Moth podcast that Piper Kerman was featured on -- so I was eager to check it out. I had also read that this might be the most diverse show that you've seen in awhile and one that features so many women. And it is. It's actually so refreshing to see so many different types of people and so many strong female actors. But what I think really gets me is just seeing prison life in a day-to-day way. Much like how I was fascinated by the West Wing because of the setting, I'm fascinated by Orange because I want to know how it all works. The show also has a bit of the Weeds vibe (it's creator is the same), in that it leaves you with a cliffhanger type ending at the end of every episode, leaving you wanting more.
So, I'm going to go ahead and blog about a few episodes at a time (the beauty of Netflix -- you can watch the whole series at once!!). So here's episodes 1-3. Stop here if you want to catch up! If you’ve watched the whole thing, please don’t comment spoilers!!
