From Weeds creator Jenji Kohan comes Orange is the New Black, a women's prison drama with comedy that takes no prisoners.
 
Based on the acclaimed memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, the series is about engaged Brooklynite Piper Chapman, whose decade-old relationship with drug-runner Alex results in her arrest and year-long detention in a federal penitentiary.
 
To pay her debt to society, Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiancé Larry, for an orange prison jumpsuit and a baffling prison culture where she is forced to question everything she believes about herself and the world at large. As she struggles to adjust to her new reality, she finds unexpected laughter, tears, conflict and camaraderie amidst an eccentric and outspoken group of inmates.
 
Orange is the New Black consists of 13 one-hour episodes and is available to watch on Netflix instantly. New to Netflix?  No problem - sign up here.

Great show. And super value from Netflix ... have signed up for the year, it's the cheapest out there, and I'm watching shows (including OITNB) totally for free for the first month. Nice one.
Hope the next series is on soon.
Apparently the next season is Spring 2014 mamatofive ... so that has to now right?? Fingres crossed.

Great show ... only signed up with Netflix to watch it and I love it. I guess it's intentionally but all the male characters are complete jerks ... even the kinda nice guard is a fool.
They are aren't then? The warden is super creepy too, although maybe he has an excuse with a wife like his.

I'm sorry what? I just watched the episode where she was due to have the group call with her busines partner and a client ... from jail ... seriously? Just an eeny bit far fetched.
Although I have to say ... yer one that's always balling her eyes out on the phone behind her is hilarious. Ah ha ha ha ha... cracks me up.
mamatogive you're absolutely right ... it was totally unrealistic ...

OK I've watched it all now, and it's actually not half bad. From a very unimpresive first episode, I got really into it. Shame there is only one Series. Roll on Series 2.
It's coming soon SusieQ ... I'm dying for it too.

I've done it - I watched it all. EVEN with the kids occasionally sneaking downstairs and disturbing me (we're at the terrible two's stage with a five year old no less, which means she's up and down all night) Anyway, great stuff, loved watching it and really looking forward to Season 2 which by all accounts online is early this year. Never mind about the other questions from posters here about the chicken and the warden and all manner of other questions about the series - I want to know if there is a reminder system on Netflix so I can be notified when the next series starts? Hmmm? Anyone know?

I'm quite enjoying this show, although I really thought I wouldn't. Feel really sorry for most of them (except for crazy religious lady and btw she deserved EVERYTHING she got) especially the one that got out and then got herself sent back in becuase there was nothing on the outside for her. Desperate and probably the most realistic story line of all. Not everyone can be rehab'd back into normal life after prison, but without any help, guidance and support, there's not evenn a choice there. I'd imagine it's the same in Ireland too. Sad but true.
She is brilliantly awful mamatofive, isn't she? Her name is Pennsatucky in the show and I think personally her appearance is part of the non-appeal (obviously her thoughts and views aren't a lot of people's cup of tea either) her real name is Taryn Manning and get this ... in real life she is a total stunner, you should google her name ... unrecognisable.

Aside from wanting to slap larry repeatedly across the face... it's not a bad show. I hope they split up in the next series, and she finds somebody else. He's a bit of a creep. Even when the flash backed to the first time they met ... he was creepy then. How did she fall for him? Noooooo. Step away from the Biggs.
I'm glad somebody else thinks like this - he's totally yuck. I reckon they do split up next season, I was thinking, Piper is only meant to be in there for 15 months - they're hardly going to write out the main character (although look what they did with Brody in Homeland!!) I think she comes to her sense, dumps him and has an affair with Nicky. And when Alex finds out she goes mental, attacks Piper and they both have their sentances lengthened. Well that's my thoughts anway. I know I should've been a screen writer
