This is a Netflix only series. This show started a bit slow. First 2-3 episodes are all about the characters like so many shows seem to do, which is great. As long as enough is happening to them while you are getting to know them it is the way to go. This show follows Piper Chapman as she enters prison by giving her self up. It is full of flashbacks as it follows various female inmates lives by giving you the backstory of what got them into their new lives behind bars. Some characters you will feel for more than others and even the really nasty ones you will find your self backing and hoping for them because of the great character development in this series.
The story only takes place during the first few months of Pipers time as she goes from soft new girl “Dandylion” to a somewhat harder version of herself that she slowly develops into. She makes friends, enemies and even runs into people from her past that help shape her into the person she will become while her time in prison. Jason Biggs is her husband to be on the outside. He is not in this show as much because of this but it follows his story as well as he tried to cope with his new fiance now in prison.
The story is great! They make sure to fill it with plenty of drama but lots of laughs are still in here. Don't get me wrong you won't have tears from the one liners but plenty of tongue in cheek moments will keep you entertained
Entertainment - 9/10
Visuals - 6/10
