If you are looking for a TV series that combines drama, comedy, and crime genres while touching on important social issues, look no further than 'Orange Is the New Black'. Based on Piper Kerman's memoir of her time spent in a minimum-security women's prison, this American Netflix original series is not only captivating but also thought-provoking.
The story revolves around Piper Chapman, portrayed by Taylor Schilling. She is a public relations executive who is sentenced to spend time in prison due to her association with a drug runner 10 years prior. The narrative explores how she navigates life behind bars while making friends with many eccentric and unexpected people she meets along the way. From Kate Mulgrew's Red Reznikov to Uzo Aduba's unforgettable Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren, each character brings their unique personality and backstory to the mix, adding depth to this engrossing series.
What sets 'Orange Is the New Black' apart from other shows is its approach towards storytelling. It often includes flashbacks providing an insight into different characters' backgrounds and experiences. These narratives serve as building blocks for understanding their behaviors within the confining walls of the prison. Moreover, it addresses various themes such as friendship, power dynamics, social issues like racial discrimination and LGBTQ+ representation within its episodes.
