Nice OT.

Can't wait to watch all of that. Season 1 and 2 have been brilliant and from the impressions it sounds like the thrird one is pretty good as well.

I just hope that every plot will find some kind of closure since I feel like those are stories that can't go on forever. They already announced season 4 and I wonder how long they will ride the train.

Bummed Soso isnt coming back but I guess they kind of stopped paying attention to that character in the later episodes of S2 anyway.


And yeah. Just do something and end the Daya story already. Its the worst. THE WORST!

My wife and I use the "Agrestic burning" analogy to decide when a show is going to wear out it's welcome and turn to complete shit.

Hopefully this won't be the season Agrestic burns down.

No Sophia or Poussey in the key art. Bullshit.

Laverne Cox needs to stop being so busy and be a part of the main cast. :| It is good to see that Samira Wiley got upgraded.

I really really hope they fix the gutting they did to the Crazy Eyes character last season. In the first season she was always wily, but would have these really wild flashes of insight that made you feel like there was always something substantial behind the mania. But last season she just was a complete nutter, full stop, and nothing was at all interesting about her character. She was little more than a stereotype. I'm hoping now that Vee is gone we can get back to a Crazy Eyes that I can love.

I enjoyed the first season a lot but the second less so, hopefully the third will pick up the pace and the drama.

How many seasons are we gonna get before the show ends? Hopefully they will stop before it gets crappy.

Netflix has already renewed it for Season 4, but I'm expecting them to keep this show going until, at least, season 6. After all, this is one of Netflix's biggest shows, along with House of Cards and Daredevil. Since this is an ensemble show, they could technically keep this show going after Piper leaves prison. They can focus on other inmates, and continue to introduce more new inmates into the prison system.

A show about prison is tricky though, because there's only so many types of stories that you can tell inside of a prison. (Hence the importance of flashbacks)

So it might be difficult to keep things fresh after a certain number of seasons.

Nice OP.

So how long does Piper have left on her sentence? She must be nearing the end by now surely? Or are they going to resort to ever more ludicrous reasons for keeping her locked up?

Enjoyed Season 1. Season 2 not so much. I'll watch Season 3, but it's make or break time for me.
Pornstache NOO!!

I liked the affair between Bigs and the mother last season, sad to see it's not coming back.

Can't wait anyway, my wife and i are big fans of the show.

- Poniewozik's review for Time.com:
With a lighter touch but deep emotion, Netflix's prison show returns for season 3 as great as ever, and even bigger.

There’s always an argument, come awards time, about whether OITNB is a drama or comedy. But its strength has always been to be wholeheartedly both, which is maybe the only way to tell its tough-love story–to engage with characters who can be both sympathetic and terrible, to describe a personal and institutional situation that is messed up top to bottom, with plenty of blame to go around.

Yeah, for some reason, Netflix decided to release it a few hours early. I'm not complaining.
