I was going to say -- we watched it in 3 days.
Feeling all studly-- and then PinkieLee says the same thing.

:hamactor:

LMAO about Big Boo, minor character...grumble...Lol.

Ha, ank! You and Pinkie can both be OITNB studs!!

Love me some Netflix in general btw.

OK, so can we discuss favorite scenes, or is that spoilerish?

I think I'm about to watch it all again and memorize lines. Lol. :glasses:

Yay! Dixie is ahead by 1.5 days!!

Can anyone beat that???

:goodluck:

I hear ya!
 

I understand that time frame! Really though I had never heard of OITB until this thread. So I had to go look into it. I am also wondering why the media has not put this out there in a big way? Or am I that removed from social media?? I think it is a great show, characters, and the REAL dig down deep emotional stuff reflecting back to one's self. This is not just some hokey prison show, it stands all on its own! Can't wait for season 2!!

Heck Ya!

We have a winner!!!

Oh My, hokey prison show? Lol. All prison shows are art! Gah. Lol.

Its been all over social media I thought, but what I follow is pretty queer or theatre oriented.

Lol why do the poll results add up to 168+ %?

Being a nerd I guess-

I'm kinda funny about spoilers - in that I really dont care about them and if I was watching something for which I didnt want to see spoilers, I would stay away from threads or social media or articles talking about that show. I remember last season of Walking Dead, I kept all of the episodes and was going to watch them all at once, but I accidentally saw a spoiler about Lori getting killed and I was all, oh now I *have* to watch the season right now! lol

Seriously though, as far as *I* am concerned - discuss whatever you want here!

BUT -- maybe if we put **SPOILER ALERT** at the top of our posts if we are going to discuss a plot or something someone may consider a spoiler, then if someone wants to read the thread but stay surprised about what happens on the show, they can scroll past our post. :winky:

That should probably apply to those of us who also read articles about future plots, cast changes, etc and want to share those. :)




This is what I did - I started watching it one afternoon, got about half way through before going to bed, and then finished it up the next day. :)

Then I got all sad because I didnt realize that they released all of season 1 at once and hadnt even started filming season 2 yet. lol

Now I am going to watch it again. :winky:


Oh and I love me some Lea as well - I used to watch her stand-up comedy on TV and I distinctly remember her from that episode of Friends when they had the lesbian wedding and she hit on Phoebe. lol

Ha! Chancie!! Yay!

:danceparty:

Above smileys all in orange! Lol

No broadcast networks, cable network, or tv as we know (knew) it involved. This show and 'House of Cards' were produced specifically for Netflix and released for binge watching intentionally.

2nd season of OTNB is filming now.

These shows are in a new class of video entertainment being called 'original online only web television'.

:movieguy:

are you kidding me?
 

I watched part of an episode, yes only part, because I found it to be so totally against what this site promotes! I find it interesting that there are so many feminists and "lesbian pride" women on this site that would promote a such a show that shows lesbian women in a negative mindset. As far as talking to other women about their "pussy tastes so good", how to have sex, having a "prison wife".
Prison life is being glorified in this show, and you are ok with lesbians being shown in this light? I am completely shocked by the reactions on this thread about the show, and the excitement displayed of seeing lesbians portrayed in this manner. I for one, won't be watching.

I know, I know! Lol. I get all that

But it cracks me up. Maybe because I see myself in so many of the characters.

For me, its relevant, hysterically funny and even heartwarming. It holds nothing back. I know those people. It speaks truth.

In response to Guy:
 

Interesting. I don't find the show to be anti-feminist, anti-lesbian, or anti-woman at ALL. As a matter of fact, it feels very REAL to me. I'm not sure it glorifies prison at ALL. Maybe if you watched more than one episode, you might realize issues like rape, transphobia, lesbian phobia, misogyny, racism, classism, drug abuse, and much more are dealt with.

I don't think there's anything wrong with talking about how good someone's pussy tastes, or about how to have sex, or anything along that matter. It seems sex positive to me rather than portraying lesbians in a bad light. I don't see where saying those things is misogynistic in and of themselves. Also--the stuff about having a prison wife? I'm pretty sure that's based in the realities of being in prison.

I also don't see where prison life is glorified. From what I've seen--prison is the LAST fucking place I'd want to be!!!!! However, I also think that women in a situation like that are of course going to form relationships and alliances and have successes and failures. I think their humanity is what is being shown.

I dunno, it's hard to analyze when you have only seen part of an episode, but I'm interested in what others think?

PS: And yes--to agree with Apocalipstic, it's also fucking HYSTERICAL!!! It somehow manages to be all those things at once.
