Yeah, I don't mind sex scenes (:smug:) but there was a point where it was like too much and not needed.

Thankfully they've toned down on Nicky's "business" so far. :laugh: Which is good because outside of that she's actually a good character.

Really good so far, on ep 2

this is literally how I feel about every TV show atm

i've just finished it

watched episode one last night :love: reaffirmed Boo, Poussey & Red as my three favourites

Finished episode three last night.

Oh Nicky :(

Finished it and omg

I feel really let down this season as well. I agree that there was something missing, but idk what!

finished it today

:love:

It was too much of a love in comedy... and it is missing that prison edge

that's what I think anyways :laugh:

Only seen the first four episodes but enjoying getting to know other characters for once. Not interested in Piper/Alex AT all.

The main problem with this season seems to be that there was no big villain and no intense drama. It's quite a light hearted and fun series.

Maybe Netflix are certain OITNB will be around for many years though so production opted for a lighter season compared to last year, then in 2016 we will go back to a heavier/more serious/more dramatic season.

I haven't finished season 3 yet although I am enjoying it. It just lacks that intense drama the last two seasons have had. Not a bad thing though, if this show is around for a long time I don't mind one season being a bit more fun and not too heavy on the eyes. If season 4 continues like this though we may have a problem...

i'm going to rewatch soon, i watched season 3 after rewatching 1+2 for about a week or so, so i think i just kind of got sick of it..

Watched Season 1 and now onto Season 2.. not sure about it yet. I'm not as hooked as I thought I would be.

Just finished the first episode of series one and I'm really excited for this series it seems great. I just hope we get to see a little more from certain characters like Yoga Jones and Nicky this series as the last series was very heavily focused on the whole Vee and Red storyline.

So far seems a good balance with story lining though.

Nicky, Piper, Pensatucky, Taystee and Morello are still my favourites <3

I literally couldn't stop laughing when Chang said Showbiz :joker:

I love her story/how badass she is :love:

That moment though :laugh3:

Just finished ep 10

I felt so sorry for Pennsatucky :(

finished the season now.

I liked the turnaround in likeability for Pennsatucky's character but...hmm... I feel like some of the characters have made pretty unrealistic turnarounds? Like Piper's a good example, obviously, just an overnight badass? Please. And the sudden introduction of a bit of transphobia for Sophia's character... if anything it was obviously unrealistic in the first place to introduce her as this sort of beloved, sassy hairdresser with no enemies or conflict, and then this season just sought to ruin her in every way possible. Caputo too, bit of an obvious "becoming part of the machine" story.

Smaller thoughts:
- STOP TRYING TO MAKE RED/SAM HAPPEN. IT DARE NOT ****ING HAPPEN.
- I'm over Norma. Taking all season to realise she led a clique of idiots... I don't care if her backstory was sad, she's a ****ing moron and I'm bored with her.
- I kinda ship Boo/Pennsatucky
- and Soso/Poussey
- Characters I loved this season: the new counsellor, the new inmate from Chicago with the glasses and the paranoia, Flaca, Ang, Black Cindy 10000x more, Big Boo 100000x more, Chang <333333
- Characters I did not love this season: Electrics guy, rapey guy, Daya's mom, Daya actually, Caputo (blah), every bitch who crossed Sophia and shall - if the writers know what they're doing - drown in that lake in the finale at the hands of a mysterious trans-rights spirit.
- I WANT TO HUG PORNSTACHE'S MUM.

In general I don't quite side with the majority of complaints about this season - I don't think the show needs a villain per series to root against for it to be a success or compelling, the characters and backstories are more than enough for me already. The only thing I'd bemoan is the rushedness of it all - the sudden changes of character, the increase in trying to put across backstories and flashbacks towards the end of the season (like did anyone really really care about that running girl's Muslim father, or Sindy's crazy authoritarian father?) - but at the same time I'm kinda intrigued to learn more about other characters too (Yoga Jones, more of Boo, Maritza, that woman who's always crying on the phone / about toast-Norma)

Speaking of flashbacks, how amazing was the brief Rosa return? :flutter:

I finished S3 today.

The last 10/15 minutes of the finale was possibly the best bit of TV i've ever watched. I know that may seem like an overreaction but I was literally crying with tears of joy.

I just loved it :love: this show is amazing and I couldn't critique it if I tried :flutter:

Aww, this post makes me happy... I love that you loved it so much... And it's nice to see someone just appreciate something without negativity.

I loved it and everything but did anyone else feel the music was getting really repetitive?

Aw, Mokka i've had to rewatch it since posting in this thread :love:

& yeah I get where your coming Shaun, although I loved the transition into I Wanna Know What Love Is...not having a **** ton of inmates invading the prison though #justsayin

Anyone know when Season 3 is out on DVD?! Need it!!

i think the whole lesbian thing is getting a bit old. no offense to women, but thinking about y'all having sex is kinda boring... and we've had 3 seasons of it...

we need some hot gay guys in prison. aren't there any all gay guys prisons they could focus on next time?
