Less than a year until season 2, so it seems. Gotta get that Emmy love.
Should I watch this with my wife? Or will it be too much for her language and sex wise?
If language and sex are an issue for her I would not recommend it.
Is it similar to Spartacus on Starz or Boardwalk Empire on HBO when it comes to sex and language?

Not really. It didn't feel gratuitous to me on OitNB. There's sex and profanity in that setting, and they include what seems like an appropriate amount.Is it similar to Spartacus on Starz or Boardwalk Empire on HBO when it comes to sex and language?
more boardwalk than spartacus
Okay.....hmmmm she loves watching prison shows on MSNBC and she loves watching shows with women leads, so I'm going to check it out and probably watch it with her. And I was just about to cut my Netflix account off this month lol
I don't think they did, iirc. Last we saw of her on the outside was when she was drinking with the Russian mob guys and made her husband go in the kitchen to get them something to eat, right?Did they ever make it clear what Red was convicted of? Obviously, they gave numerous hints and suggested enough, but I don't believe they explicitly revealed what her crime was.
I think they're building to it, but I'm betting her "associates" end up having her take the fall got something and her jealous husband rats her out.Did they ever make it clear what Red was convicted of?

Maybe that's too predictable but yeah, that's where I'm betting it goes too.I think they're building to it, but I'm betting her "associates" end up having her take the fall got something and her jealous husband rats her out.
Your gonna both love it.
I haven't really heard any actual critisicm of this show yet.
The guy who drives the produce truck was one of the Russians wasn't he? My guess is Red did something to get herself in so that she could act as the insider for the Russian's smuggling business. It was her who told them they needed a bigger, steadier operation, like a school, hospital or prison.
I don't think so, because in one of her flashbacks, she was surprised that it was the same company delivering to the prison.The guy who drives the produce truck was one of the Russians wasn't he?

How did Little Boo get there? Do prisons have like anti-anxiety dogs and assign it to a good in-mate to take care of? Was this explained and I missed it?
HahahahahahahahaLittle Boo was sent to the joint for running a dog fighting ring.

Also, the season finale... Yiiiiiiiiiikes, in a way of course she needed to protect herself but they are not putting Piper into a good light the last couple episodes. I always dislike when I can't relate to a main character.

I can't see how the ending to Season 1 can possibly make you think less of Piper. What the hell else was she supposed to do in that situation?

More so that towards the end I side with Larry and Alex's opinion of Piper more than understand Pipers feelings.I can't see how the ending to Season 1 can possibly make you think less of Piper. What the hell else was she supposed to do in that situation?
I think it's more or less thatshe was engaged, then started fucking around with the girl that helped get her in that situation in the first place... if I were Levenstein I'd never speak to her again, that's just one of the fucking shittiest things to ever to do someone... not to say that Jim didn't fuck up a few times like with the radio shit, but still
They're trying to express that it's more than defending herself, in my opinion. Those last few puches are supposed to represent her frustration with everything going on around her and inability to keep her relationships in control.The post I was responding to was obviously referencing the. So I'm a bit surprised anyone can think badly of her for that.actual final scene where Piper beats the crap out of Pennsatucky since the poster referenced her needing to defend herself
The relationship stuff is another matter obviously, but the show really goes out of its way to make everyone in her life that's on the outside seem oblivious - not only to her but just to life in general.

You called Larry, Jim, which is fucking hilarious. Might as well just call him the pie fucker because that's his legacy.
He's the shows weak link and I don't mean the character. Hopefully he's out for next season. His parents were great though.

Larry is the ffffffffucking worst.
Man, Piefucker decided before anything went down with Alex that it was going to be bad. He couldn't handle her experiences. He's a selfish fucking douchebag and I hate him more than almost any other character on the show.
From what I've heard, the set up and characters are mostly drawn from the memoir, but the plotting diverges considerably.This may already have been covered, but how much of the show is based on reality? For the first couple of episodes I thought it was supposed to be relatively true to life, but the second half of the season is making me think otherwise.
nahhhhhhhhhhhhh...he was cold as ice when he dropped the truthfact on Piper about Alex. Larry might have been childish using her situation to further his career, but Piper betrayed him
Twenty years ago, Lea Delaria made history when she boldly declared on Arsenio Halls late-night prime-time talk show, Im a biiiiigggg dyke! Shes been steadily working since then, her biggest mainstream successes mostly onstage, but shes enjoying a new level of fame now that shes playing Big Boo, the butchest inmate at Litchfield on Netflixs Orange Is the New Black: Now the triple-threat talent (actress, stand-up comic, and Broadway singer) is getting recognized on the street daily by young girls, begging for photos and autographs. Vulture met up with Delaria at the Metropolitan bar in Williamsburg for a beer, to discuss being called a bulldyke in the pages of The New Yorker, her out-there masturbation scene, and hitting on Natasha Lyonne.
Anyone read the book?
Reviews on amazon make it sound not too great.
There's a special gravitas there, for sure.Just finished it.
Awesome stuff. So much better than Weeds in every conceivable way. Nice work, Jenji.
Natasha Lyonne really stands out to me, probably more than anyone else in the cast. I think her life experiences really add a level of depth to her performance.
I can't believe how it ended -- I hopeChapman didn't kill that crazy fundamentalist loon, but she deserved a good beating for sure. Tucky should have stayed in Psych, holy fuck.
Just finished it. What a fantastic show. Wonder what they will do with Miss Claudette's character for Season 2. For some reason I really enjoyed her back story.
Next season spoilers:It appears that Pennsatucky is still alive. She was bumped up to a regular cast member for the second season.
