Apparently it's a "quiet" season like season 3 was.

Shaun 11-05-2017 05:10 PM

I'm more than happy with 13 episodes merely on

yeah they seem more like 'filler' seasons.
It was going to be hard to top s4 anyway

ITS BACK

Denver 10-06-2017 10:50 PM

OMG why leave it on such a cliffhanger

Marsh. 10-06-2017 10:52 PM

The format to this season is actually really good.

It's a slow one like season 3 only where season 3 is dull, season 5 is brilliant. :amazed:

Mixing up some of the character interactions is a huge plus and also following the whole thing over just a few days whilst the prison is in riot is a genius move IMO.

nicole_burks 13-06-2017 04:51 AM

Omg
Spoiler:

the part where piscatella starts beating on red and where he breaks Alex's arm. :shocked:

Probably my favourite season of the show ever, don't think I've ever finished a season so quick took me like two days

The finale is also the best one they've had, very happy with this season they just keep topping themselves

Saph 14-06-2017 02:49 PM

I thought it was a really good season! I feel like all the inmates, even the less relevant ones got plenty of screen time.

Spoiler:

although the whole scene with piscatella and red was really hard to watch

T* 15-06-2017 03:12 PM

Finally finished
Spoiler:

episode 10 ****ed me up
I liked how we got to know more characters and it's given me some new faves
The cliff hanger has me shook, idk if I like how Netflix has a current obsession with cliffhangers

Vicky. 15-06-2017 03:21 PM

Started watching this last night, only on episode 4 and I think this is my fave series so far

Braden 21-06-2017 10:57 PM

I thought this season was great. OitNB can do no wrong for me, tbh.

Spoiler:

I wasn't sure how to take the riot-setting. I thought it was going to wear thin, but I quite enjoyed it-aspects of it did grate, such as the negotiations that went nowhere, the fact that mentally and sick inmates weren't getting medicated or treated, etc.

I also liked the interactions between inmates you wouldn't expect, which is why I liked the ending despite the fact it left on a cliff-hanger.

Danielle Brooks is without a doubt the best actress on the show.

Marsh. 21-06-2017 10:58 PM

I love how the show has gone from strength to strength since they stopped paying selfish bitch Piper any attention. :clap1:

Braden 21-06-2017 11:01 PM

I actually don't mind Piper. She was a lot better at the beginning (and this season), but she's never really annoyed me as a character...well, apart from when she initiated the 'white lives matter' ****.

Marsh. 21-06-2017 11:02 PM

I liked her in season 1. But she turned into a massive arsehole around season 2/3 and hasn't recovered from it IMO.

Braden 21-06-2017 11:03 PM

New favourite character alert (well, not really, but she's the MVP of the season for me):


Marsh. 21-06-2017 11:04 PM

Ugh, I have to turn my face away when she's on. The teeth make me physically sick. :laugh:

Marsh. 21-06-2017 11:04 PM

Also, Alex as a character is a massive twat too but there's something about Laura Prepon. I can't help but like her.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't amused by her 'I'm flogging dirty knickers for a **** ton of money so I'm a bad-ass' persona during S3, but it went too far in S4.

Braden 21-06-2017 11:10 PM

re:

the teeth: I loved it when she was using them to sharpen the stilletto, or vice versa, idk.

Alex: I feel like I preferred Alex at the beginning of the show. She's a bit too much of a mardy-arse for me now. I still appreciate her as a character though, and she has a funny moments.

Yeah, she's a grumpy cow the last couple of seasons, she's lost that spark.

Braden 21-06-2017 11:19 PM

What the **** was with Sophia's 'I'm just gonna hang around this hospital and pretend I'm a nurse before handing myself in' storyline? :umm2:

idk if the Laverne is giving up on the show, or if producers are just noticing that she's a pretty **** actress.

I wish I could tell you. :joker:

But, yeah, all of the raving she gets tends to be because of the nature of the plot she's portrayed with being transgender and all. All very important for representation etc but she's not all that good an actor in the grand scheme of things.

I didn't really notice how bad she is before this season. I liked her at the beginning, and I like the actress for the reason you mentioned, but she seems pretty useless now. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, by the producers.
