She doesn’t do herself any favors by squishing the most reliable of their cockroach brigade as she arrives, setting off a fruitless search for a replacement bug. As it turns out, Piper’s destination is an ugly institution in Chicago (it looks like a dingier version of the unit from “Oz’’), populated by a terrifying group of cellmates that train cockroaches to deliver cigarettes.

Telling the truth about her father’s infidelities earns Piper a punishment from her barely-blinking mom, and her grandmother delivers a road map to psychological trauma when Piper tells her about the cheating. The rest of her sheltered Connecticut adolescence, it appears, was built on a shaky foundation of lies and repressed emotions. To illustrate that psychology Foster and the writers give us a flashbacks to Piper’s childhood - little Piper was a do-gooder of a kiddo, at least until she spotted her dad squire-ing around a woman that wasn’t her mom. The season ended with Piper going “Fight Club’’ on Doggett - certainly the biggest women’s prison ass-kicking we’ve ever seen on television.

Its two biggest breakout stars are a transgender woman and another who boasts a rather astonishing comeback story. It tackles completely unique subject matter in a world of endless doctor, lawyer, and cop shows. It’s a show full of lively female characters in a television environment populated by glum male antiheroes. It’s arguably the biggest television hit that doesn’t air on a traditional television network.

Side note: I would respectfully disagree with the reviewer who said the show made prison look not as bad as it really is, because the prison in the show is a medium security prison that does not house the most violent inmates. I have to admit, I didn't know quite what to expect from Netflix as a show producer, but if "Orange is the New Black" is representative of the caliber of the shows they're investing in, I'm really impressed!
