Orange is the New Black

So, for those who have seen the show, what are your thoughts on it?

I've only seen a season and a half, but it's the most well written show I've seen that most relies on the stupidity of it's own characters. Really nothing but bad decisions on everyone's part. Guess that's why they're in prison though.

I will say one thing though: no fricking way would the plot line with the prison guard having sex with the fat hispanic chick ever go down; they then make it even more ridiculous when Pornstache falls in love with her. If she had a great personality, that would be one thing, but she's as interesting as sand paper. The only thing I can say about her is she likes to draw (which isn't even a personality trait). It's very clear to me that there was not a male on the creative staff in the first season due to this plot line, since he would have most certainly vetoed it.

How long does it take to get good? I watched the first episode and didn't like it. There were some nice boobs, but it was kind of awkward how the whole series just started on sex scenes

The first season was pretty good. The second season wasn't as good and the third season looks like it's going to suck.

well, considering there has already been a thread about the show and season 3 and it's already on page 3/4, I'd say most people don't give a crap about it.

I hate Crazy Eyes more than I hate Joffrey and Ramsay. I quite literally close my eyes any time that she's on screen. I enjoyed the first season, lost interest in season 2, and watched most of season 3 (including the last few episodes). I do like the direction they took with slutty prison lady and the nice mustache guy.

frick you Uzo Abuda

Finished season 3 last night, and I must say that was a truly bad season-ending episode. The lake scene, while already totally implausible, dragged on forever. And now we have to deal with Piper as some Michael Corleone character? If this show had any charm at all it was in following a nice girl coping within bad circumstances, and that's all gone.

I really can't understand some of these story line choices by the producers. Daya is ugly, fat, and uninteresting, yet the love obsession of two guards? Every inclusion comes at a cost, and we're treated to a dull pregnancy story at the cost of somebody like Nikki, full of ironies and one-liners and insights, but who's been cast aside.

At this point, only Pennsatucky, Sophie, and Taystee remain interesting for me. I frequently wander away from the TV when others are featured. I have no enthusiasm, whatsoever, for a fourth season.

I liked it up until about the 9th episode and then I felt like the writing began to struggle. I found it tough to stay interested so I stopped.

I really enjoyed watching the first season. The writing was great, as was the acting. Storylines held up and character development was strong. However, after that first season I began to slowly lose interest after each episode. The "girl humor" schtick grew old and the storylines just aren't that interesting anymore. I will give season 3 a shot soon but I wouldn't say I'm excited about it.

I like Orange is the New Black but wouldn't say its one of my favorite shows. It's definitely entertaining though.
