I spent many hours binge watching Orange is the New Black recently. More hours than I’d like to admit since I generally try to limit my watching to one hour a day with a little more on weekends. I guess I found what I wanted to watch; I just had to wait a little bit.
There are many thoughts and viewpoints on Netflix releasing a whole season at one time. Traditionally, networks like to draw things out a bit. Build anticipation. Make more advertising dollars. Cover their season to ensure ratings. This is the first time I watched so much of a t.v. show at one time. I wasn’t even sure I would do more than watch an episode every here and there, but the culture of Netflix watching led to a buildup and excitement over the new season. #OITNB was trending on twitter with users making declarative statements and tweeting about surprises and reactions. This made me want to watch, and to not stop.
I have enjoyed the new season of Orange is the New Black. The quality of the show has not faltered between seasons. There is intrigue, suspense, and drama. Exactly what I was looking for! The episodes follow a natural, believable plot line. Nothing is gimmicky or forced. The production quality is high. I give it thumbs up and recommend it to anyone who is bored.
