Someone in the season one thread read it. Apparently it's kind of crap, in that at any point in the show where something interesting or exciting happens, it's a departure from the book.

I have read it and it is pretty much exactly this.

Her friends send her a lot of books and people tease her about her books and everything is a feel good story with light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes she talks about how she deserved it for doing that one thing she did.

One thing this show needs is a catchup before ep 1 (or a 10 minute separate episode 0 or something). I watched the first season in pretty much 2 or 3 days when it first came out, and apart from the Pensyltucky incident I can't remember poo poo about what happened.

I had one when I was watching it in chrome, but not on my ps3 :iiam:

is there any character that doesn't have their backstory reveal why they went to prison? because poussey's didn't. maybe that will get revealed later on? (extremely minor ep6 spoilers).

I'm only on E5 but Suzanne's didn't?

I enjoy the intro song for this show but I am so so so happy that netflix skips it when you're watching consecutive episodes now

- Vee somehow managed to ruin Taystee's character, too. I feel like the black characters sort of got shafted this season so far. They're getting more screentime, but holy poo poo, just an avalanche of unlikeable characterization. "Black Cindy" loving sucks. Where'd Janae go? Poussey's been great, though.

She got put in SHU for contraband when they found the tampon cigs.

Towards the end of the season when they were making their hunger strike demands re:SHU I remember Caputo kind of laughing it off and being like lol you serious that girls in SHU every other month she's coming out soon anyway so no big, but I think we've already gotten the whole feel good Janae getting out of SHU moment in S1 so it's not shocking that they wouldn't revisit and just have her rejoin general pop whenever it's relevant again.

Agreeing that Black Cindy is awful, I also felt like Suzanne felt like a big caricature of herself in S1. She was much more real and subtle last season she just felt like a big goof this time around when she wasn't acting like a goon. Throwing cake? at Piper felt pretty out of character for her too, especially when she was supposed to be feeling bad for beating her up.

Most of the black non-white characters iirc.

To include latinas not because I find blacks offensive

I think it's less a copout and more to do with Prepon not being available during most of the season 2 shooting.

I thought that she was almost out because Scientology told her she shouldn't show boobies on television.
