Based on the acclaimed memoir of the same name, the series follows Brooklynite Piper Chapman, who is sentenced to 15 months in prison for a crime she committed 10 years ago.
The show tracks Piper’s journey as she adapts to her new life and tries to stay out of trouble. Despite her best efforts to fit in, things don’t quite go according to plan and Piper gets mixed up in all sorts of sticky situations, from her social blunders with fellow inmates, to run-ins with the corrupt prison guards, as well as an expected encounter from her past.
Along the way we are introduced to the hilarious cast of characters, from one of the most impressive (almost) all-female ensembles in recent years. As Piper struggles to adjust to her new reality, she finds unexpected laughter, tears, conflict and camaraderie amidst an eccentric and outspoken group of inmates.
Now back with for a new season, we can’t wait to see what’s in store of the inmates of Litchfield Prison. Here’s what MummyPages Mums said about the first series:
- “This show rules! Wonderfully, brilliantly, cleverly off it’s rocker!”
- “I love this show; it’s multifaceted characters and storylines are both terrifying and absolutely hilarious.”
- “Really enjoyed watching OITNB Series 1. Was looking forward to every single episode – can’t wait for season 2.”
