   So season 2 came out - it's a deeply satisfying feast of bleak drama and bittersweet laughs that comes built for binging. The focus has moved beyond Piper's dilemma to the wider prison community, their fatal flaws, the frustration at their powerlessness, the heartbreak at their sense of loss and the momentum of their sad indignities. Ultimately it comes down to a single theme - the choice between allegiance to the inevitable insanity of the prison reality, or to the new family you can come to choose. Superb acting all round: Lyonne, Mulgrew, and Yael Stone all excel, and I particularly liked Joel Garland as lovable Scott in the finale, but this season belonged to Uzo Aduba as Crazy Eyes...through and through. A fruitful series that's starting to bloom and fulfill its promise. 9 years 10 months ago

   The heterosexual content on most shows these days are just as overstated. I liked the show and enjoy the diversity of the cast. Can't wait for S2! 10 years 9 months ago

   I think this is the best drama TV show I've ever seen. Even it's flaws give it character. I've enjoyed watching this and recommending it to everyone I know and then talking to them about it. I hope season 2 is able to keep the steam and even improve upon the few problems of season 1. The first two episodes start out slow but around the third it took off and I couldn't stop watching. A great, diverse cast that really give life to their characters. There's no prejudice in the content dealt with throughout the episodes - everything from racism to drug abuse to poverty to sexual identity. Things can get a little cheesy at times but the show is always able to recover quickly. Never been so hooked to a television show in my life. Highly recommended. 10 years 5 months ago
