TV: Orange is the New Black
Getting me to watch this was like forcing me to eat spinach as a child, but I'll begrudgingly admit to enjoying it. The writing is quite good and the premise is very good. This is arguably Netflix's best effort. The lead actress, Taylor Schilling, is a find. The show is a comedy and doesn't deal in the hard-boiled. A spoiler: a missing screwdriver causes panic around the prison because someone could use it as a weapon, but it is discovered to be fashioned into a dildo instead. That perfectly sums up the tone of the show.
A comparison to Girls seems apt - a cable comedy about the east coast young and privileged - and so when I think about it that way, I'm inclined to like it a whole lot more.
