Decided to Watch Orange is the New Black

My wife and I are in between shows at the moment and, because of that, decided to give Orange is the New Black a try.

Granted, this show has been on Netflix for a while now and isn't exactly a hidden gem. But, based on our normal viewing habits, we weren't really sure if it would be for us and weren't expecting to make it past the first episode. As it turns out, however, it is actually as good as people say it is.


The show is definitely geared more toward women. But, even as a guy, I have found there are quite a few things I do enjoy about it (none of which involves the occasional nudity or lesbian sex). In particular, one thing I found I really like from season 1 is the relationship between the incarcerated Piper (Taylor Schilling) and her fiancé (Jason Biggs). It's an intriguing story (please don't ruin it with spoilers) because they both have made some pretty big mistakes and I'm curious if their relationship will make it.

I'm not sure if it's a series I'll enjoy for a long time since I do tend to get bored with shows after the first couple seasons. However, at least for the time being, it's on our must-watch list.
