Watched the pilot last night and it was good enough to convince me to give the season a shot.
One thing though and I'm sure it's already been mentioned, does Alex remind anyone else of ScarJo? I honestly thought it was her for a second, but then realised she's much more mature and older than ScarJo.
I wish Orange was released a month earlier to get some Emmy recognition.
Ep 10 was by far my favorite with. I can't wait for the second season; watched the whole show in two days.Crazy Eyes acting (with her old english accent) to the scared straight kids
Definitely my favorite Crazy Eyes moment. I like howthey don't just make her a one dimensional nutcase, and suggest that in certain ways she's actually smart and well read.
It's like they're afraid to have anything slightly mean or with an edge on the show - they dropped Crazy Eyes just as she got interesting, Red is now everyone's mother figure, the old woman Piper is bunking with is a wise old lady, this racial divide that was hinted at is barely there. I know it's a 'dramedy' but come on
I'm up to episode 8 so far and I'm enjoying it, but one thing I really don't like is that everyone whose 'outside' story they told is shown to be so sympathetic. It's OK to have mean people and real criminals in prison, not everyone has to be a decent person that just got mixed up in some stuff.

I know it's a 'dramedy' but come on, considering how inhumane our prison system is, I would prefer a more honest look to this
Nope. That's Orphan Black.Is this the show with Tatiana Masalany?
That episode was hilarious. So ridiculous.wtf at this chicken shit
Still stunned from the revelation that the woman who plays Yoga Jones also voice Patty Mayonnaise in Doug.

I actually thought that was a great creative decision. The emotion she displayed while telling the story really added to it.This is like her first acting role in like a decade. She chose a good role to return with. I do wishwe got to see her reason for being in prison in a flashback instead of her just telling us.

Yooooooo Taryn Mannings character is making me weeeeeeeeeeeeeak.
Oh and other people are talking about other Netflix originals that are dope... Which ones? Arrested Development right?
It hasn't been mentioned because they don't look that much alikeAlex is Donna from That 70s Show.
Well I'm glad something out there has the power to create shows without thinking about ratings. This show as a regular weekly airing would have probably been much different in content, and I'm not sure that many people would turn their TV on each week for it.
It's kinda a Firefly situation to me, it's really good as a whole but one episode each week was a recipe for disaster (Orange much less so though)
Netflix doesn't release much information on viewership, so it's a little more difficult to say than with a traditional network. It makes sense that those two metrics are very important to them along with general buzz among the public, good critical reviews, and awards - all of which would help drive subscriptions and increase their profile as an original content provider.How does Netflix even gauge how well a show is doing and whether or not to continue producing it? Is it mainly based on watches or new subscriptions since the show was released or what?
My favourite characters are Sophia and Tastee.
Piper was starting to annoy me quite a bit throughout the season but I still root for her, at least. I really couldn't stand Nancy in Weeds.
Well a character doesn't need to be rooted for to be a quality character or a compelling watch. Walter White from Breaking Bad is a truly despicable human being with virtually no redeeming qualities but he also makes for some of the most fascinating television ever made.
That said!
Nancy from Weeds was a fucking disastrous mess of a character the way she was written. I felt like Jenji was almost starting to touch on the direction she needed to be when they started hitting on how awful of a mother Nancy is and how she is responsible for everything bad that was happening, but it was only dealt with in the most superficial of manners.

Oh boy Chapman'sin episode 9 is amazingtearing down of Healy
It's like she's talking to every single "nice guy" in the world.

I thought Nancy was great in the first few seasons, but she is shit by the end. However did you see the finale?Nancy is basically completely alone. She definitely didnt get a happy ending.
