I'm upto Episode 3 and still loving it! Suzanne is still my favourite character! Is she featured in season 2 a lot?

I really dislike Dana though as all she seems to do is moan!

Finished watching the whole season in the early hours of this morning, especially loved seeing the backstory's of all the main characters.

Adding Vee's character to the cast this year, really shook up the series as Lorraine Toussaint played her to perfection and was deliciously unpleasant.

Of course she is

and I am not too fond of Daya to be honest as well.

Suzanne is awesome. Found her backstory quite moving too, especially the bit where her mother took her and her sister to a party. Have they ever said why she was sent to prison? Like with Lorna I am not convinced prison is the best place for them.

Also love Taystee so enjoyed that we saw more of her. Black Cindy's backstory was funny, especially her zipping around the airport on her buggy lol.

Found myself really liking Nikki this series too and her friendship with Piper and Boo. Didn't really notice her much as a character in S1

Looking forward to S3, although hoping it won't just concentrate on Piper and Alex.

i have finished the whole season, a little mad at myslef for not spreading it out a bit more.

i really enjoyed that this season the focus wasnt on Piper as much, although i thought the Vee/Red/Gloria stoyline dominated too much. i actually liked Crazy eyes more last season as i didnt like her mean streak. I liked the Poussey/Taystee dynamic change arc but her treatment was awful.

WHAT WAS THE POINT IN SOSO?!?! please let her not be in it next season. really annoying character with no redeeming features.

I missed Alex and her secretary glasses (posssibily too much) and am pleased she's back next season but like a lot of others i dont want her and piper to be the main story. Piper grew on me this season she was fun (poo incident), weak (Alex), strong (Nikki/Red) and finally free of Larry. i liked the backstory/flashbacks and that they provided a good continuity through the season.

Finally Rosa in the final ep made my day!! very satisfying ending for both characters, especially with all the flashbacks!

Just finished Season 2 after starting it on Friday....I tried to stretch it out but it was impossible every episode just had me hooked This season had alot of characters involved which i enjoyed to, I did however miss Alex I heard she had scheduling conflicts with other projects which is why she was only in 4 episodes but tbh it worked out great.

Anyone else think that with shows like this and being able to watch the whole season in one go is the way TV is/will go in the future ? I admit the thought of TV dying is sad but with shows like Orange is the New Black Im well and truly up for this kind of change. We are in a world now where people hate to wait including me yeah the wait maybe longer but is it worth it..... hell yes!

Roll On season 3

Yeah Laura Prepon had to have a small role this season due to directing a movie. Plus unlike a lot of television series, none of the cast are signed up to multiple seasons and basically renew their contracts each time the show is given a renewal.

I actually wonder if the less focus on Piper is perhaps for this show to actually continue without Piper in the near future. Piper only has eight months left until she is released and could take place over another season or two as the show's timeline is rather slow.

Yeah thats the thing Piper doesnt have long... And

so If they do continue to take the timeline slow like they did between S1 & S2 then Piper could be on for at least 1-2 more seasons. but i do think they are writing it so that the show can continue without some of the original cast. Theres alot they can do with other characters and bringing in new ones and theres alot of stories to be told from the other characters like the meth heads etc.

But who knows there might be even a plan to just do a certain amount of Seasons, I think alot of producers now hate to drag a show on for the sake of it and do plan ahead for its final season but thats just my guess. With the way the show is broadcast also makes it seem more safer then if it was on a TV channel as they dont have to worry about ratings as much.

No, she didn't.


She was there because her father was in the US military.

Morello is a great character and i cant hate her either

As for Larry I agree I hope he is gone next season, Jason is a very one dimensional actor and he doesnt suit this show if there was one downside to this show then its him, I never warmed to him and just want him gone. Hopefully now after this season his story will be wrapped up

I keep watching the last 5 minutes of the last episode over and over. It's gloriously done and a fitting end for both Rosa and Vee

Just finished Season 2. It was just brilliant but am gutted I have to wait another year for Season 3.

Hats off to 'Crazy Eyes'......she really was the star of this series in every way. The range of emotions she pulls from you as a viewer is incredible. I love her!

A great season again. I'm glad they widened the scope of the show into a proper ensemble piece. The guard and the nuns was hilarious. Very glad at how Bennet's confession went.

I hope Nichols doesn't fall off the wagon. The scene where she took the free heroin to Red was one of my favoutires of the season.

Not usually into the whole prison drama thing, but I'm loving OITNB

First 10 minutes of last episode, the scene with the warden assistant (fig) and Joe I felt like cheering for the guy, was absolutely hilarious... hes turning out to be one of the good guys, though I expect when he has more responsibility to turn face

Wonder if fig will be a prisoner in season 3

My only concern is if the main characters sentance was 12 months how many seasons can they make? Assuming Piper had 8 months to go as of the last couple episodes of the 2nd season

Looking forward to season 3... netflix redeemed themselves slightly by adding this show

If Fig goes to Prison I think that would make a good storyline and I can see it happening due to all the stuff she has done Maybe let her see what a crap place the prison is in terms of how its run etc.

Fig would be eaten alive in Lichfield, especially after the blackout, it would be unlikey but amazing if she ends up there.

Although it was known anyway but Laura Prepon has been officially confirmed to be back for season 3 in every episode. Season 3 is already filming.

I would say that's pretty average to be honest
There are more characters classed as guest stars then they are as regulars, judging by the opening credits and the credits that continue after

All the characters we have come to love have pretty much appeared in nearly every episode so they are pretty much regulars anyway. But when made a regular, you get more money and are on a more tight fixed contract.

It was a great season from start to end. I was hoping to only watch one a day... one... HAH!!! I binge watched it over 2 nights! It was so addictive even my faves like GOT and Hannibal got left untouched on my sky box.

My favourite part of the whole season has to be the last 5 minutes with Rosa and V.



Cannot wait for season 3.
