New Break-Out Prison Show: 10 Things You Need to Know About “Orange is the New Black”

If you haven't already binge-watched the entire first season of Orange Is the New Black, cancel all your weekend plans - you have a lot of catching up to do. The series premiered in early July, and it has already become an obsession for both critics and unprofessional TV junkies such as myself. Netflix renewed it for a second season before the pilot episode even aired, which is essentially unheard of in the entertainment world. Orange Is the New Black revolves around Piper Chapman, a wealthy boho Brooklynite who suddenly finds herself in the terrifying world of women's prison. She leaves behind her fiancé, her pregnant best friend, and her blossoming soap business to pay for a crime she committed ten years previously, and as you can probably guess, much chaos ensues.
