Orange is the New Black

I started watching this series after hearing great reviews about it online and Luke having mentioned it in class. I think that the whole show is about power. How to get it. How to use it. I am on episode three but so far none of the shots have jumped out at me. Which is what I was originally looking for,  but what I've taken from this show is how well they are able to portray a character with the simplest of actions. Also, the show isn't very over dramatic. Everything is so well written in and it is so much more realistic than most. For example, if you've seen the first two episodes you are well aware that they are trying to starve out the main character Piper. While during this starving out period, her ex-lesbian lover tries to give her food but piper throws it away. This shows Piper is stubborn and plays by her own rules. To top it off after that incident the ex-lesbian in the end of the episode isn't given food because the head of the kitchen was told about her giving food to Piper. No part of the show is left untold or goes unresolved. The highlight of this show is all the actions that are put in to show character. You can tell so much by how the person is handling themselves in jail. I also enjoy how the head of the kitchen Red is made out to be a terrible person because she tries to starve Piper to death but then there are flash backs to show that she too was once a regular human being with feelings. My favorite part of all though was at the end of the second episode where all the inmates are watching a movie and Piper does not have headphones, so all she can do is see the picture but then this one girl who previously helped her out sits next to her and offers her headphones. Little naïve Piper takes this as a gesture of kindness, when it was really Suzie's way of asking if she liked her. If she accepted her. It was a brilliant moment.
