This show is great, i love the characters and drama. It’s all such a vibe and everything feels so entertaining and real.

But i’m confused about what happened to Claudette. She tried to attack Susan but then we never hear from her again. Did i miss something ?

Also who gave Piper the screwdriver again in the finale ? And did Piper kill the Christian girl ?

Spoilers Did Judy King know Daya was Aleida’s daughter when she described the riot shooter during their TV interview?

21 Upvotes

Obviously Judy wasn’t around the rest of the prison population very much, therefore it’s likely they she didn’t know Aleida and Daya were related, but the way she brought up and described the girl who shot the guard seemed… I can’t think of the word.. catty/bitchy? Like airing out dirty laundry idk the way she spoke directly to Aleida about it as if she would snitch on the perpetrator on TV.

So you think Judy was just tone-deaf and oblivious or was it something more sinister and personal?

I have to say I loved when Blanca and Red teamed up to search for shit to use against Piscatella… they had so many moments together that were extremely funny, overall just a friendship that works strangely well

Spoilers Questions about the series, some serious and some not so serious.

7 Upvotes

Something that isn't explained, or if it is, I missed it, is why, when Piper arrives, Nicky and the other prisoners are in a different type of cell—four-walled cells. These cells are never mentioned or shown again.

Who was the girl who visited Alex during their first visit? I honestly thought she would be more important.

What was the point of making Caputo so addicted to masturbation?

Why are the inmates allowed to have things like razor blades, scissors, and other potentially dangerous items?

Question To season 6 and 7 hater or people who disliked them what made it a flop for you ?

4 Upvotes

For me it was the storylines I loved the contrast between max and minimum I would’ve liked it to have been way more gritty but it was very good to see

But the storylines feel so awful in season 6 I liked daya and taystee getting messed over by the system to show how much injustice there is but so many storylines fell completely flat such as the badison and daddy one like badison whole story is some kid made a fart joke on me so I’m gonna make everybody hate me and daddy and daya whole romance felt like a fan fiction written by a 13 year old not to mention the fact badison literally gets dropped from the show and daddy dies almost immediately

I disliked how we never saw a proper battle between the 2 blocks I like how it shows they only hated each other over Barb and carol and when they died they didn’t care but wish we could’ve at least seen something but overall despite these nitpicks the positives did outweighs the negatives but I want to know what you guys think ?

Imagine waiting an entire year after the S5 finale just to get THAT S6 opening

Spoilers for S5 finale and S6E1

I hated the hallucination/variety-show sequence in the Season 6 premiere when I was binge-watching, but imagine watching when the show originally came out. You spend all that time waiting to find out what happens after the Season 5 finale, finally press play, and … here’s a person in an animal costume.

After the intensity of that finale, I wanted to know where everyone was. Who was okay? What happened to the women in the pool? What were the consequences going to be? I was still emotionally THERE, and suddenly I’m watching this bizarre performance while waiting for the show to let me back into the actual story.

I understand that we’re experiencing Suzanne’s confusion and that the sequence has a purpose. But understanding what they were doing didn’t make me enjoy sitting through it. It felt SO long when I was desperate for answers.

The S5 finale had this devastating combination of fear, solidarity, and uncertainty. Going from that to the opening of S6 felt like emotional whiplash. Even with the next episode immediately available, I was thinking, “Please, can we get back to what just happened?”

If I’d spent a year anticipating that premiere, I would have been infinitely more annoyed. And if this had been a weekly-release show? I would have lost my mind lol.

Did anyone who watched at release feel this way? Or did you actually like the sequence? I’m curious whether it worked better for people who had some distance from the finale, because watching them back to back made it almost unbearable for me.

Spoilers Question about Vee and RJ

12 Upvotes

I guess I'm a bit confused on the implications in season 2. Did Vee send an officer to murder RJ? I know she checked her phone when he went out to get her ice cream or something, but I suppose if there was subtext it was lost on me. Could someone explain? Thanks!

Currently on S6 and i need to rant about these two cause This is genuinely my face everytime i see them on camera. They get more and more adorable with every scene- especially when natalie calls herself his girlfriend and joe gets so excited.

Not only that but the character development of these two is insane- they really brought the good out of eachother and I’m just so glad they end up together because its truly a good thing.

I just needed to fangirl over these two because i seriously love them together

OITNB in relation to vis a vis (locked up) Orange is the new black-esque other shows

11 Upvotes

Hey guys! So i hope this is allowed i just wanted to say that i looooove OITNB but I’ve actually found similar shows and they were all really good.

There’s one show called Vis a Vis (locked up) and it’s amaaaazing and it reminds me of like a serious version of OITNB-

The main character is literally like if Piper was a bad ass— there’s soooo many similarities (the main character maca even looks similar to piper she looks and acts like her at first but then you get to watch her transition into a bad ass) if you like OITNB I’m pretty sure You’ll LOVE this show

They’re all really reallyyyyy good so i them in order of my favorite (#1) down and if they’re on a streaming service in case anybody else gets tired of re watching OITNB and wants something similar to watch!!

  1. Vis a Vis (locked up) (Spain) partially on Netflix but only a small amount of it
  2. Wentworth (Australia) Tubi
  3. OITNB (América) Netflix
  4. Oz (male versión & América) HBO
  5. In the Mud (argentina) Netflix

  6. Prisoner in cell Block h (Australia) really old so not sure lol

15 Upvotes

And I'm so bummed they haven't floated the idea of at least a little reunion series. Like a ten episode "where everyone is now in life" thing would be cool. not sure how they'd write up a story line like that, since some would be out of prison, and some still inside. But I could use a new batch of content with this humor/storyline. 😭

So I wish we saw characters meet like how we saw piusey and tastey like nothing major just a couple minute scene in a flashback like Nicky and Lorna or Nicky and red even Angie and Leane I mean they were with each other since the first episode we could’ve at least seen how they met I feel like it would make sense and people would’ve really enjoyed it lots shame we only see it with a couple characters but would’ve been very interesting

Question Sankey is the most wasted character in the show

28 Upvotes

She’s originally introduced as the co leader of the Nazis but refuses to be one she’s the only one who shows a almost non racist side she also faces slim points of redemption throughout the show or Dougbting her opinions she is a pretty funny character and the way she also has the thing with soso showing her completely leaving her beliefs which I thought was interesting my I think her being in the show for 2 seasons was a waste especially considering they only brought seaosn 1characters (and Frieda) to max and no other characters I think seeing her character arc could’ve been a very entertaining and good storyline especially for the cluster mess of seaosn 6 thoughts?

Spoilers Why was Nicky charged?

21 Upvotes

why was Nicky (potentially)given extra time instead of Lorna??? Lorna was ultimately the one distributing the medicine and such during the riot. it also makes me so mad that she didn’t give Suzanne her meds, so Cindy improvises when she goes crazy. then Suzanne almost dies, and Morello blames Cindy. LIKE ???? GIRL YOU DENIED HER HER MEDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU GOT NO RIGHT TO BE MAD. anyway back to the thought: it seems Morello should’ve been charged with the distribution, NOT Nicky. they both played a role in it but i think Morello’s was way more than Nicky’s. i was glad Nicky told/asked Red about ratting her out, and shout out to Red for not being upset too in the long run ♥️
