    All episodes coming up in a couple of hours. It's getting positive reception from critics.

    The wife and I saw the trailer a bit back, going to give the series a run this weekend. We loved Weeds so hoping this delivers.

    Great show, truly hilarious at times and also gut wrenching at others.

    I've watched 1.5 episodes so far and I'm struggling to keep interest. Not my cup of tea I guess. /shrug

    I didn't really get into it until about the 4th episode. First few episodes were needed to set the story up and introduce the characters. I was glad I stuck with it because it gets much better. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next season to come out.

    I think I've seen 7 episodes. It's pretty good. I don't think it's great, and if I never got to see another one, I'd be fine.

    But it's still better than most television, and enjoyable enough that I'll watch it all eventually.

    I liked the first 3 seasons of weeds also, but what came after that is just inexcusable and sent him way way down there on my list.

    Funny that this thread should get bumped, since I just started watching it yesterday and marathoned my way through and finished today. 7.5/10. It definitely has its moments, and there's some fine acting by Peyton/Eli Manning's cousin Taryn Manning (the methhead junkie) as well as Crazy Eyes. I don't much care for the nearly 2 minute long intro, though, as much as I like Regina Spektor.

    Buzzfeed did a '23 Amazing Facts about OITNB' and, yes, Piper does look like Jared Leto. Link is here --> http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/surprising-facts-about-orange-is-the-new-black

    yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a lot of internal pressure from showtime to keep making the show, and I don't think she was very happy about it, or at least that's the vibe I got from what I read toward the end of the series

    I love this show... haven't had a chance to watch the new episodes yet. I hope they give us more back story on crazy eyes, she is by far my favorite character!
