I agree. Laura Prepon really is terrible in this so far, 5 eps watched. Had a minor quibble with the screw driver mishap.
Spoiler!
I didn't really believe she'd forget it was in her pocket, and if she did, that would make her a total dumb ass and I don't think that was the intent of the writers.

It was in her coat pocket, and she left her coat outside during lunch. Considering how many "first timer" things she went through in the last week or two, including learning rule one about electricity, I wouldn't rule out her forgetting. I don't know if I would have, but I at least know rule 1. If I had been placed in some sort of craft type setting, I could very easily see myself forgetting a pair of scissors or sewing thingies. Hell, with that kind of life change, I'd probably forget to bring TP with me to the bathroom at least once a week.
Netflix needs to do a better job of getting the word out about their new series- I just happened to come across it by chance. Even if they don't wanna do radio, tv spots or internet ads, I would think they would feature or draw more attention to it when you get to the Netflix main screen?? Maybe its just the Roku interface that's weak in showcasing stuff because I've not even seen a push to showcase that House of Cards or Arrested Development's new season is available- though they did do traditional media promoing for those 2 and all. But, this show and that other horror original series that's supposed to be dogshit get not even a peep of promo buzz??? [Reply]
I'm 4 shows in and while I didn't enjoy it as much as "House Of Cards" it wasn't meant to be a straight drama.
I like the story, and I do like how much they do get right about prison life. I suspect the writer/s had some time in. I think my biggest gripe is how when they transition from drama to humor they completely break from credibility.

They didn't have to do that.
It's based on a book titled "Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison "

Same here.
There's a lot I can look at and say that they've put time in. Much of this is authentic.
Some parts aren't but that's "based on a true story" stuff that get's fucked up once you have producers and directors.
What I did like was that bridge between "normal" life and "inside life." Ok in one is not ok in the other and the show did a good job illustrating that... [Reply]

I think alot of people fail to realize that. There is just way different rules when your inside. Ive known alot of people who have been inside and alot of them dont like to talk about the shit they had to do. Me being Mexican and in Cali, it can get brutal just trying to survive in there.
You have no choice unless you want to be a bitch or dead. [Reply]
