Orange Is the New Black

Orange is the New Black is every bit as good as everyone says it is and it's definitely worth watching. While some seasons are better than others, they're all worth watching. It also has a very satisfying ending which we all know is hard to do with a good show. In fact the whole last season is one of the best. Bottom line is I was entertained throughout the entire series. This series won a ton of awards throughout its run and for very good reason. Having said that, I think Wentworth is the better show about a women's prison. If you haven't seen this yet do yourself a favor and go check it out.

Such a deeply moving, painfully beautiful show. It may have some slow points but it is utterly worth committing from start to end. I've never seen a show do such a wonderful job in their character development and allowing you to see how human every individual is. Often a sharp reminder of the current political climate we live in, and how privilege wins out, even in prison. The power dynamics and complex relationships are so well-written. Hands down, would recommend any day.

Finally.. decided to watch this,glad that I did but wasn't all positive.

I will agree,with several reviews.. Season 1-4 was great,also most of 5 but far as the riot felt dragged out.

We get into season 6 was interesting only because you wanted a follow-up to how it ended previously,what happened to everybody & so forth.

Unfortunately it started losing momentum during several episodes in season 6,perhaps it was the dynamic of the characters being separated & the ones they did show became boring to annoying.

You will find clichés and stereotypes but overall,the acting to actors was decent enough.

I feel the writers got lazy in parts later in the storylines,perhaps to drag things out which is unfortunate.

Still.. Worth a watch.

It brings back memories of Weeds. You know in its glory days. The first few seasons before it went off the rails. That's what "Orange Is the New Black" is like. Equal parts funny and sad. A mix of true pathos and yet true honesty and beauty coming from the strangest places. Be warned however there is plenty of lesbian sex and if the "F" word makes your ears bleed it is probably a good idea to turn back now...This isn't OZ but this also isn't Disney. This is a true winner from Netflix and tells an interesting story not only from the main character's perspective but from the other inmates as well. It would have been boring to see things from just her point of view. Like Nancy Botwin on Weeds, sometime Piper Chapman is portrayed in not so good a light because she can be the villain in someone else's story.

It's really sad to see a good show go this way. It has now turned into a b grade sitcom with bad acting.
