The series is based on Piper Kermans memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Womens Prison, about her experiences in prison. This series follows Piper Chapman, a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to fifteen months in prison after being convicted of a decade-old crime of transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend. To pay her debt to society, Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiance Larry, for an orange prison jumpsuit and a baffling prison culture where she is forced to question everything she believes about herself and the world at large.
Many creators talk about the freedoms offered by television's new platforms, but Kohan is one of the few to snatch those freedoms, stuff them in a bag, and take off on a wild joyride like this.
With stellar acting, strong execution and borderline-brilliant writing, the first season of Orange Is The New Black is criminally good, addictive television.
Halfway through the season, I felt like Orange was the best of the Netflix originals so far. By the end, I was sure of it - and that this is one of the best shows of the year, on any channel or distribution system.
Based on the first six of 13 episodes, Orange is the New Black has passed virtually every test with flying colors. You might want to incarcerate yourself -- on a living room couch -- as soon as time allows.
