How Season 6 of “Orange Is The New Black” Finally Revels In Hardcore Prison Shit

Spoiler alert

I didn’t catch on to Orange Is The New Black until it became the show that nobody watches anymore. The former darling of Netflix, debuted in the summer of 2013, and its arrival was heralded with the level of fanfare that tends to make me skeptical because it’s only a matter of time before the love turns to hate, and that’s when I usually go in for the kill.

I had no choice but to binge-watch the show that has is endearingly the fave of haters, who love to publicly reject with celebrated disdain.

So, in the summer of 2017, it was my turn to indulge in all the seasons of delight and infamy. And I basically discovered a cast of characters that were criminally stuck in the rut of generic offerings — until Litchfield prison was no more.

I liken my flexibility with OITNB to my affinity for Spirit airlines. I get why people hate Spirit, but it works for me because I’ve figured out ways to make it work.

I get why most have bailed from the series that tends to center the annoying Piper as the privileged heroine, while the Black and Brown inmates are susceptible to the elements of degradation, that afflicts in the scripted and non-scripted realms.
