Literally the only way I've got all my straight friends to watch it is by telling them of all the lesbian sex scenes and boobs in the majority of episodes.

It's kinda like Bad Girls but I think it's a million times better (and I loved Bad Girls). It's so engaging and the strong female cast just keeps you hooked. It doesn't rely on prison drama and focuses very much on the people themselves. *Most* of it is based on a true story which helps the show incredibly. I'm glad they have Piper Kerman working with them to ensure a realistic show stays that way.

-

I finished watching the whole of season two tonight. Amazing series on the whole. Although for me it is just on par with season one and doesn't quite exceed it. Not a bad thing, given how constricting a drama in a prison can be the writers have kept it very smooth going and have made more great use of flashback scenes.

Some spoilerific stuff:

Spoiler:

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...
Spoiler:

...married Larry. Considering the show has roughly followed events in the book the writers are one day going to have to find a way of getting Larry to love Piper again. I'm not sure if I can take heavy screentime of Jason Briggs.


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.


Oh, and one character who was in season one and not in this season...
Spoiler:

Miss Claudette
I missed a lot. If they could ever get her back I would love to see her return to the show.

No reports of Miss Claudette coming back. Shame really, I liked her a lot; they can easily bring her back though. Maybe series 3 we could see her again..
