I have been hearing about Orange is the New Black for a few weeks now. The Netflix original series first aired on July 11. Netflix releases the entire season at once and I like that concept. Netflix also did that with another fantastic series, House of Cards. House of Cards with Kevin Spacey was released on February 1, 2013. I watched the entire HOC series in four days. After reading so many positive things about Orange on twitter, I decided to give the series a whirl this weekend. I binged-watched and finished the entire 13 episode season in three days.
The show is about "Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman from Connecticut, living in New York City who is sent to the women's Litchfield, NY federal prison for 15 months for transporting a suitcase full of drug money for Alex Vause (Laura Prepon), an international drug smuggler and Chapman's former lover," as described on Wikipedia.
The show was created by Jenji Kohan who also created the show Weeds. I like Orange. The writing and acting are great. I wasn't sure if I would like a show that is about a women's prison, but I do. I will be back for season two.

It is so so so so good. They are making another season, right? I need it.
I've also heard that many of the characters are legit true representations of actual inmates at the prison that the book is about. These little details make me enjoy it that much more. Do you have a favorite character? I love Taystee (Or however her name is spelled).
Taystee is a fun character. I like when Poussey and her goof around.
I don't know if I have a favorite character. I can't stand Larry or that psycho Pennsatucky.
Before OITNB even aired on Netflix, it was renewed for a second season. It will probably come out next year. Boo.
