Any thoughts on the latest season of Orange is the New Black? ***SPOILERS!!***
There are spoilers below:
I actually thought this season was weaker than last season, although I did like the changing dynamic in the Piper/Alex relationship, even though I think they're both assholes. I loved the backstory on Chang - how interesting! The hate-fucking between Caputo and Fig is pretty weird, and I'm so bummed for Nicky and Sophia. My favorite character remains Poussey.
Any thoughts?

Anyway, as far as OITNB, I just couldn't get into it this time. I actually had to force myself to watch the last few episodes, mainly because I wanted to see what happened with Daya's baby.

(60,038 posts)I would rank them, best to least (relatively speaking), Six Feet, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, In Treatment, then a grouping of Homeland, Orange and Boardwalk. Six Feet Under towers above them all for us, with Sopranos and Breaking just a tad behind but both superb.
If you've not seen it, In Treatment is quite remarkable.

(3,724 posts)I'm on vacation this week and could stand a good binge. I'll check out In Treatment, too. Thanks for the tip!
I also loved The Sopranos, and I've debated which was better between that and Br Ba. Although the writing, acting, and directing for each are superb, I have to give a slight edge to Br Ba. This is mainly because I found the characters/situations to be more relate able. I know teachers, and bookeepers, and cops and x-ray techs. I don't know anyone in the Mafia!

(20,886 posts)Will do so tonight, but I think this is a weaker season. I do love the back stories. Chang is the winner there.
It seems like they ran out of material from the book (haven't read it), and are just winging it this season. I agree about Poussey. She's a complex and likable character. But I like Susanne, too.
