*Spoilers*
I'm just starting episode 13.
This show is
all over the place. First few episodes were GREAT. I really enjoyed them. It was a very refreshing show. Smart, dark, funny.
But after a handful of episodes, it got all cutesy and feel-good. That lasted until about 2/3 of the way through the season, then it became a little more dark and serious. I really enjoyed that stretch.
Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there.
Illogical, contrived, stereotypical, ugh.
Seriously...every single male character in the show is a total d-bag moron that struggles with masculinity issues. They're all ignorant and threatened by women in power.
The final handful of episodes are totally hijacked by this religious storyline where one side is represented by snaggle-toothed hicks who are brainwashed and illogical while the other side is represented by a pretty, logical, compassionate main character.
Not sure I've seen a show more stereotypical and agenda-driven show before. It's a pity because it started out fine and had a nice stretch in the middle.
And seriously? Jason Biggs finds out that Piper is in love with and screwing her ex-gf in prison and a few days later he's visiting her and proposing? And she accepts?!? He was the only male character that didn't originally come off as a total groveling, weak, ignorant person. They couldn't even give him a spine for an entire season.
Not to mention the hardcore dance party these inmates get to have in the cafeteria when, at other times, they're not even allowed to hold hands. And they can have teh lesbian secks in the chapel anytime they want...no guards in that part of the prison I guess
If they create a second season, I have no desire to continue watching.
