Haven't got much to say so will keep it short(ish) and sweet.
I wasn't happy with the lack of Alex throughout the series, although knowing this prior to watching I was surprised she was in it as much as she was. With her (reportedly) being back in the limelight for season three I'm looking forward to seeing her develop next year.
I really liked Vee, Lorraine Toussaint has done a superb job at portraying a dark character that knows how to play the game and act sweet. Shame she is dead as I was hoping we could see more of her in a future series. Maybe she isn't dead and just unconscious? Although getting hit at that speed I'm sure would have killed her, shame.
Piper not being shown as much wasn't too bad. I really like Piper so I'm glad she wasn't cut out completely. Her character development was good this series too so no complaints.
Really wasn't bothered about Larry on the outside. Now I think the main issue with Larry is the fact he's being portrayed by Jason Briggs. I really wish someone else was given the role. Anyway, seeing him doing his thing didn't interest me in the slightest. When it came down the the Polly/Larry thing in the end I got even more bored by then. I hope we see less of Larry in the next season, although I doubt it as in real life the real Piper Kerman...
Really loved Red and Piper's little friendship. I hope this continues next year and we see more of them together. I think they have a nice bond going on!
Finally, loved the whole Vee vs Red storyline. I have enjoyed the concentration on black people too. I generally find black people to be written terribly in films and TV shows, or left as background characters. Although on OITNB they are written brilliantly and in the limelight which is fantastic to see and a breath of fresh air.
