Anyone want to talk about Orange is the New Black?!

[dizzydee]

Im loving the show! watching the chicken episode right now.

[MrsAxilla]

We saw the first episode and weren't impressed. It gets better?

[gretchenindisguise]

We watched the first episode last night.

After H finishes bedtime, we're watching more I think. We liked it.

[oliviapope]

I looooove it so hard. I'm sad I can't binge watch..damn responsibilities.

[polarbearfans]

I'm obsessed! On 6th episode

[VillainV]

Loved it :-)

[AHappierHour]

What Channel is it on?

[goaskalice]

Watched all 13 episodes this week. I LOVE Netflix for the ability to devour a series the same way I do books.

I really like it, it didn't get great reviews and that really surprised me. I love Red, the driver (can't remember her name), and crazy eyes is a great actress!

I want Alex.

That is all.

The ex gf?

Isnt she from That 70s show?

Yes! She looks so different as a brunette. 

[milosh]

I love it! I think you had mentioned it on Friday and I have been watching it ever since. I'm just about to start episode 10 (I think?)

It didnt get good reviews?! Crazy.
I love Red too.
Crazy Eyes is funny as hell. OMG can you imagine?

At least not from People Mag - which really is not a super credible source but they literally said it was unwatchable. 

[BlackCanary]

Love it! I've already watched all the episodes, can't wait till season 2!

Yes. Laura Prepon. She looks hot with dark hair and glasses. HOT.

YES! I have such a girl crush on her. 

[VillainV]

"Unwatchable" I can see how people who are sticklers for accuracy when turning a book into a movie/series would find it unbearable, especially since the book was a true story. At first I was all like, "But her ex wasn't in prison with her!" Then I got over it and enjoyed the story line. Some people can't get over it.

I think whoever wrote the review has a thing against the main actress, because that was their biggest beef. Jenji Kohan did such an amazing job with Weeds, I expected to really like the show. I'm so happy she lived up to her potential!

I am on the waitlist for the book at the library

[BlackCanary]

tators Yes, the Jesus girl annoys the crap out of me. 

I love Crazy Eyes.

[BlackCanary]

Agreed, VillainV. They kind of needed to go that route, or else the show wouldn't be as good as it is. Or would be really short.

[dizzydee]

R hates it. He says the flashbacks are annoying and he "can't get into it", but he is still watching with me. Taryn Manning looks awful. What the hell has happened to her face?

[catbus]

Love it. And Jesus meth-head is way too convincing; she creeps me out more than any other character. (Except maybe porn 'stache.)

Yes and she's hot. I love her.

I wish they did more flashbacks. I want to know more about the inmate's lives before.

I find the flashbacks REALLY interesting, and they are what makes the show, IMO.   But even the inmates relating their own stories is moving, like the part where Yoga Jones tells the runner-girl (forget her name) how she ended up in jail.  I almost cried :-(

[greenscreen]

I loved it so much. I'm surprised the reviews weren't good. I really hope there is a second season.

Did I miss a flashback addressing why Sophia is in prison?

That's Crazy-Eyes, right?   She mentioned that she was in a psychiatric facility for a while, then was allowed to come to "regular" prison, but I don't think we've learned exactly what landed her in psych.   We do know that she has white adoptive parents.

Nevermind, had the wrong character....pay no attention to me.

They renewed for a second season before the first season premiered.

Awesome! I didn't realize. I agree Alex is hot with her dark hair and glasses.

[Deleted]

I love this show. I love pretty much every character except for pornstache. Oh, and crazy Jesus chick. I'm sad that I watched all of the episodes already

[DaisyCakes]

Love this show! I wish I had savored it a bit more instead of binge watching. I'm reading the book now to take the edge off the craving, it's pretty good too.

Do we know why Red is in prison? Hope I didn't miss that.

Not exactly yet. It's assumed it's related to the Russian people her and her husband had to assist after she injured the walking groups main woman.

[polka]

When I think of Laura Prepon, I don't think of That 70s Show (never watched it). I think of October Road. And I wish it was never cancelled :-(

[bbaggins]

I googled Pornstache and didn't realize he is Liev Schrieber's brother. He is pretty convincing but so down to earth and charming in interviews.

He looks so terrible with a mustache!

[textbookcase]

We love it! We have a few episodes left and I don't want it to end yet. I agree, Laura Prepon is hot and Taryn Mannings face is all kinds of jacked. I think she did something weird to her lips.
