Welcome to Gaia! ::


I had a friend of mine intrduce me to this show series. It was a bit too slow at first for my taste, but ince it picked up the pace, the comedy and dramma did too. What made it so awesome is how they go about unraveling the story. It initially started with the main character (Piper Kurman) about to turn herself into prison soon, but after about the third episode, you gradually learn about each prisoner through extensive flashbacks, but it stays mysterious because the flashbacks are in pieces that don't always give every detail right away.

The sense of humor is great, its gets vulgar at in certain points ,but overall from what the first season is like, its very witty, not justin the excecution of the jokes, but the choice of words as well. If any body has ever watched the HBO show called Shamless, then that is a model to measure the type of comedy off of, except Ithink it's not as rash as Shameless.

As far as actors with faces from big Feature Films that I noticed, theres the lead character from American Pie (Jason Biggs), a woman I think seems familiar (Danielle Brooks), the woman who played Donna (Laura Prepon) from That 70's Show, and the young lad that think Look like Peter Parker's neighbor (Lauren Lapkus)in spider-man 2 and 3 ( she was the one feeding him cookies).

So yeah, it seems to have been succesful, but I've never heard of it until a month ago, so for those who haven't seen it, go check it out.

what was one of your favorite episodes? I enjoyed the campaign episode. It showed how desprately Piper was trying to not draw attention on herself, which is funny because it seems like its bound to happen anyways. It also suprised me when she went to her ex's sleeping area, because I realized she still had strong feelings that she covered up. I sure was fooled about that until a certain turn in one of the first season's episodes that completely confimred that idea.

As far as my favorite characters I like the Russian lady named Red, her little sidekick Gina, Nicky with the long hair, Dayanara who meets up secretly with the security guard, the young female security gaurd Susan that comes around mid season, The haitan lady Claudette and Taystee, the clown of the of the prison

Correction, I meant to say I THINK she was in that spider man movie.

Well my favorite episode is when piper sees the chicken and how everyone goes crazy for it and my favorite character is either Claudette or Red

Great show! I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It definitely reminds me of the type of series you'd see on HBO/Showtime; witty writing, relatively dark subject matter, and really three-dimensional characters. It's also based on a memoir, which I find super interesting, as well as being created by Jenji Kohan - the creator of Weeds.
I can't wait for the second season!!! heart
    Season 2 is out~ Watching it right now. Anyone else watching it today?

Ooh, you watched this show?? biggrin I just binge-watched the 2 seasons last week!

I didn't know there were gonna be so many sex scenes, but other than that it was interesting to watch. The flashbacks to each prisoner's stories are certainly fun, but I'm not sure what I like about this show. It's interesting how I don't have a favorite character--there are some characters I like, but then I get mad at their weaknesses. I guess that's what makes them so real, though. smile

One character that stood out was Pornstache. xd I don't know if he was cast on SVU before or after the first season of this show, but I remembered him from SVU because of his intense performance. It seemed right to see him on this show with this kind of character. xd

I wonder how much of the show is based off the book and the real Piper's incidents. Does anyone know how many seasons they're planning on making?

    Badtz! Surprised me, didn't know you watch this haha. Should have known though since you could take Hannibal well enough :p

    Took me awhile to finish S2, keep getting distracted. I want to like Alex though she's too much of an a** sometimes, but that megane.. XD You're right that it's what makes them real, but also frustrating. In a sense there's no particular character I hate too since they are all equally flawed. Pornstache was rather insufferable though lol.

    Did you like the ending to S2? I've heard many praises for it and so it was a bit overhyped for me. Was a decent ending nonetheless.

I know, I was surprised to see you here too! whee

LOL yeah, it's so easy to hate Pornstache. I was surprised how soft they turned him in the end; I thought he was just joking/being an a** when he was all lovey-dovey. I guess Lorna is most like the type of character I like, without all the crazy.

I'm so glad Vee died in the end of S2. xd I haven't really been reading about the series so I wasn't expecting anything for the finale, but I was kind of expecting Alex to go back to prison. I wonder what the next season will be about!
has anyone seen season 2? i absolutely LOVE this show! i cant wait for season 3!! heart
