Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Season 2 of Orange is the new Black
I have to give serious credit to both the developers of this series and the writers. I normally wouldn't find myself intrigued about a cast of characters in a prison setting.
The reason I was initially drawn to this series is because of Taylor Schilling. I really enjoy her as a actress and I have seen her in other series and some films. The series also has Kate Mulgrew who has been around for a long time and always delivers a great performance.
This series has such a unique and diverse group of characters that consist of both prisoners and the prison staff. The character development is so unique and well thought out. I consider this series a "dramedy", which almost equal parts drama and comedy.
This series specializes in twists and turns that you don't always see coming.
I would give season two 4.5 stars. I got a great price at BestBuy for season 2 on Blu-ray that I couldn't pass up.
The Main characters changes prison after the events that happened at the end of first season and she has to adjust to her new status change. Back at her all prison, one of the cliques gets a new leader who seems determined to make enemies out of everyone else while trying to gain control of everything. Meanwhile the people running the prison are just trying to keep the jobs while keeping the inmates from rioting. Lots of past relationships are flipped on their ear and we can only guess on who will make it out of prison, dead or alive.
Season One sent us spiraling with it's finale as we left off with Chapman committing a pretty violent crime inside a federal prison. Now how far will Piper Chapman go to upset everybody close to her while just trying to find herself?
I don't know if an actual women's penitentiary has daily lesbian trysts in the chapel, or if they're allowed to grow their own vegetables. But if I was allowed to imagine they could, I'd imagine a lot would go down like it does in the second season of Orange is the New Black.
A now all star cast supported by newcomers and veterans, along with even more criminal antics and personal history flashbacks makes this season just as engaging and delicious as the first. Also, more naked chicks and people getting electrocuted. Good stuff.
