Orange Is the New Black

The first seasons were good, fun, addicting. But what happened?! Especially season 6, like wth I can't even... This bs 'war' between Carol and Barb?! No one gives a sh*t and it was too childish for words. And not to mention this awful annoying character 'Badison'. From her face, her background story to her freakin' annoying way of talking: I think most people hated her to the core.

Also, most of the original cast disappeared. And of the ones who remained: Piper and Alex' lovestory became boring a long time ago, and what was the role of Flaca even?! Doing some radioshow that wasn't even funny? I was glad Blanca got a bigger role tho, she's always been funny as hell :)

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.

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.

This show is a seriously funny drama.

If you like 'Weeds', 'Breaking Bad' or prefer your humour on the darker side, then give it a go... you will not be disappointed.

Very few people create characters like Jenji Kohan... and it is the characters that make this show. Like 'Weeds', 'Orange' is fresh and original, and like 'Weeds' the lead character is tragically flawed and hilariously funny.

Well done to Netflix on their latest production... 'Hemlock Grove' is just weird, 'House of Cards' was hit and miss... but it looks like the third time is a charm. Bravo.

(FYI: humour is how we Brits spell humor). :-)

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