really? i thought season 4 was nearly as good as S2. S5 was kind of a mess though.

oh oops, I forgot there were five seasons. I did enjoy S4 quite a bit (that was the leisurely one where hardly anything happens, right? I mean that in a good way). But S5 really burned the show to the ground.

also damn just read this show has been renewed for a seventh season, too. That is one very long one-year prison sentence.

wait, we are to believe that all 5 seasons have taken place in the span of 1 year?

watched the 1st couple eps of S4 and gave up on this. Really enjoyed 1st 2 seasons. Haven't thought about the show at all since stopped watching it. I think the Piper/Prepon softcore soap opera stuff was what 1st soured me on it.

S6 began pretty wobbly, but ended up in a good place (for most of what remains of the original cast, anyway).
OITNB has a poor track record with integrating new characters in meaningful ways, and S6 is no exception, but at least the Carol/Barb thing was fun dramedy.

I watched the 1st episode of S6 and it stressed me out SO much, does the whole season go on like this?like it's not fun for me to watch powerless women be abused???

It's no worse than S5 for this really (which I just rewatched and enjoyed more also) but yeah there's a bunch of depressing evil stuff (worst moment for this imo comes during a flashback to two of the new characters), some lols. I had enough interest in enough characters to keep watching somehow.

Another bleak season - how else could it go? But with the jokes not really hitting and an added sense of rudderless drift from the writers...not sure I could even drop spoilers if I wanted to. 2 eps left to go (165 mins between them).

The first third of the season was so dense that it felt like watching an entire previous season by the time I finished ep4. I soldiered on and finished it, though, and I guess it was about as rewarding as this show can ever get.
I hope that one day we get a womens' prison drama that learns from this show's mistakes.

what do you think of Pete McTighe's Prisoner reboot, Wentworth?
