Hello my little Sparklies,
I have finally joined the rest of the world in the craze known as: Orange is The New Black. While I am not completely ashamed this happened, I'm also not teeming with excitement to admit, I finished both seasons in 3 days. It was just that addicting to me. It was refreshing at least. Now I wont spoil anything for those of you who have never seen it before, really the point of this post is to review the show in question, not go through in detail. So lets get started!
The Appraisal:
OITNB Has many things going for it. It's set in a WOMEN'S prison and focuses on more than one character in detail. One of the very first thing's I liked was how they gave insight into the lives of other inmates, both in jail and prior to jail. The character's themselves are very diverse, (shout-out to Pennsatucky, Taystee, and Daya) and even character's more on the minor side got a chance to get some shine on and be memorable. The show is also good at manipulating feelings, I cant explain the amount of times I was "Oh, Alex I feel for you!" "ALEX HOW COULD YOU!!!". There is ALWAYS some source of drama for the inmates of Litchfield, and every time I realize all of it was based on something that actually happened I am just at a loss for words.
Final Shimmery Analysis:
OITNB is already pop-culture gold, and for good reason, so I highly suggest getting in on all those jokes being told all over social media. (Katy Perry being Vause-Man's love child is on the money). I suggest binge watching this series over a rainy weekend with a good selection of snacks and your phone present. As a disclaimer I feel inclined to mention, Regina Spektor's theme song for the series is extremely catchy, and more than once will you find yourself humming it or singing it in the most inappropriate times. I hope you all enjoyed my first Judgment Slay!
Here's Hoping You'll #StaySparkly
