Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

I liked the first season of this. Really bizarre but an interesting concept. 

well Christhebarker did something different this year (the sgt peppers in memoriam is still a go though, I didn't think he would considering how horrid 2020 was)

 

uh that's nice but they attempted I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here twice

I'm old enough to remember when YTV aired the show on weekends during Brainwash, but I never read the books (but from what I took from the Arglefumph reviews neither of the twins are likeable)

well apparently the term limited series means nothing these days

okay I think it's definitely time for the show to have an end date, I saw him on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune awhile back and he wouldn't shut up, he ruined the episode for my mom who was watching it for Donny Osmond

Well I can't wait to find out who the lady is and how or if she is connected to Doc (because Gerry Parkes passed in 2014)

Looks fun!

I realize this has been out since August, but I don't recall seeing it in this thread.  Watched the first season over the holidays and can honestly say it is the best thing I watched in 2021.  Three of the four leads are Canadian.

 

(EDIT) - I see JCon recommended it way back in September.
