Orange Is The New Black, Season 5

First off, how great is it to binge watch an entire season within a few days?  I will do my best not to spoil anything for those who have not seen season 5 yet, but I can't make any promises.

Now I didn't love this show at first.  It took me a couple of episodes to get on board, as did another Netflix Show (House of Cards.).   But once you get into it, it is sooo good.

Season 5 starts off with a bunch of new inmates getting sent to Litchfield and you see the ladies getting upset as the overcrowding starts.   You are also introduced to a bunch of new guards who are just plain douchebags (not all of them but most of them). The Captain is the worse of them all.

This is also the season where you really start to hate Piper, as she becomes so self absorbed and thinks she's this mafia leader.  She makes one of the new inmates, her bunkmate

You also get to know Judy King a lot better this season. She was briefly introduced last season as a Martha Stewart/Paula Dean type character.  She gets very special treatment, staying in a spacious room with a soda maker and gourmet food while the rest of the prisoners basically eat mush.

Overall I think this is a really great season where you get to learn about more characters and without spoiling anything, you see the realities of prison and the injustice that occurs.
