Lots of buzz about this one.
Rates 8.6 on IMDb (Based on a true story) 15 episodes so far
The story of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to 15 months in prison after she is convicted of a decade old crime of transporting money for her drug dealing girlfriend (Laura Prepon).
I watched all the episodes, Robert only got to see some of them. Easy to get hooked as there are some very interesting characters.

we watched the whole season one and yes, it was very easy to get hooked. i have to laugh about all the buzz... i think it's mainly with 20-something bi-curious females who spend too much time on tumblr.

Two weeks ago while at the cottage I listened to a CBC interview with Piper Chapman so I can't agree it's a 20's thing because most 20 year old's wouldn't be listening to CBC radio.
Worst part about CBC radio (which is the only English I can get there) is they replay the morning broadcast again at night.
Seriously, do people still use Tumblr?

i saw Piper Chapman on a news program last week discussing mandatory minimum drug sentencing policy in the U.S. She was very thoughtful and well spoken.
tumblr? i've only heard about it from 20-somethings.

It's a good show. The whole lesbo/bi thing got a little tired, but entertaining just the same.

My wife and I liked the show. Netflix is killing it with their new shows.

jimmy, hang in there, the finale's worth it!
I for one, was not fatigued by the les-bi storyline. In fact, my wife used it to try & get me hooked on the series.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
