I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
Season 2 is kicking ass. It was all it's supposed to be and more.
I really love the character development. Right off you can see how much Piper has changed, how tough she has become. And you almost wonder that maybe she hasn't really changed that much, she just adapted revealing her true colors. Either way I can really identify with her somehow.
It's interesting how this time the other inmates' stories take even more space. I mean we don't even see Piper in Ep.2 which only helps to create a dramatic comeback and overall her story takes a lot less space. I don't like some of the personal stories, some of them seem too weird and shallow. The Morello story was really quite shocking though and I liked Rosa's. The game gets big with all the white/black/hispanic dominance struggle. Especially with the Big black momma back in. I think Vee's character is a bit over the top, she doesn't even seem human, more like a demon from hell. And yet she's great for showing how easy it is to manipulate people especially in such a closed environment. I also really like the strange relationships like Healey and Pennsatucky counseling thing and Piper becoming friends with Red. Who would have thought, ha? That's what makes OITNB so interesting. And of course Taylor Schilling is beautiful.
Overall it wasn't an easy watch. There's more drama than humour and some very serious issues thrown in your face but there's no doubt this show rocks and it's a phenomenon, a breakthrough and I have 0 regrets watching it. I can't believe it's over and Season 3 only comes out in a year. But it's a very solid show with nearly hour-long episodes so it's gonna be worth it.
