So now you have to get Netflix to see
everyone’s newest favorite dark comedy show with some old favorite actors. It
is called Orange is the New Black where there is a lot of talking to prisoners.
The first season was introduced about 15 months ago and we are now enjoying the
second season of episodes. Characters include Piper Chapman who is the good
girl gone bad. She got locked up for smuggling drug money and is serving time
with bad criminals who have names like Crazy Eyes and Tasty or Pennsatuck and
Red.
While the humor is always part of
the show the new season will be taking a darker turn. The bigger picture is the
new found popularity and new way of watching series on Netflix. It has become its own network. Netflix also
has the popular series House of Cards that everyone seems to want to watch as
well. Also they give you all the episodes of the series at once so you can
watch as many as you want in a row. So
binge watchers are very happy.
Jason Biggs are one of the few
men in Orange is the New Black and plays a good guy. We all know him from the
crazy American Pie movies meanwhile Piper is an actress who has never appeared
in anything else before. You have to at least recognize the voice of the
brunette Laura who has played roles in many TV series over the past 10 years. A
red head with Ashton Kushner in That Seventy Show and
she was a Blond in a sitcom called Chelsey. They say we will see a lot of her
in season three which is being shot now.
So after you pay for all those expensive
Channels on your cable TV now invest even more money in Netflix for the latest
new big series. I remember when TV was free and you kinda knew what you were
going to get each week. None of this binge watching where you can literally do
nothing else for 12 hours a day but watch an entire series of even a new show
now.
I think I will watch some old
Lauren Bacall and Elaine Stritch movies. Those two old gals just died too. We
need to pay tribute to all the actors and actresses that entertained us and
thank them for their work.
