Orange Is The New Black

On June 29^th, Netflix is scheduled to air season 2 of GLOW. That’s 10 brand “spanking’” new episodes of a funky and wild show binge-watchers love to crave. From the makers of Orange Is the New Black, the show is set in the funky and wild 1980s, a much simpler time I must add.

If you enjoy slams, ‘bams’, and thank you-mams, then check out Netflix’s GLOW. Get your popcorn ready and binge-watch right now! I recently decided to binge-watch GLOW prior to this summer release because I feel preparation is key. The big day is approximately 2 weeks away, and I don’t know what to expect. But I’m prepared for everything, because anything can happen.

What are fans saying about GLOW? They’re just as excited as I am. With over 150,000 Facebook and Twitter followers “us” fans’ eyeballs are glued to our iPhones’ screens waiting on Tweets and Facebook posts from GLOW. We’ve seen trailer 1, trailer 3, and the one in between.

By the way, here’s a tidbit. GLOW is an acronym for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. What more can you want as far as entertainment is concerned?

Woman wrestlers are a major component of the WWE’s appeal. Plus, what would the UFC be without Ronda Rousey’s reign? GLOW takes a fun look and gives a unique perspective on the world.

Although the setting takes place in the 1980s, you can draw parallels of GLOW to nowadays. Like the TV show, you could argue that people desperately want to be rich and famous. It doesn’t make sense, but I think more people want to be famous than rich. What do you think? Tell me in the comments.

I like GLOW for a variety of reasons. Netflix put a lot of time and effort into the series. The characters are likeable. Plus, there’s a nice mixture of talent. At the end of the day, their formula is working and it’s a big success.

Netflix decided to release Orange Is the New Black (OITNB) Season 3 earlier than expected. It makes perfect sense to me. You see, you get let out of prison early for good behavior.

OITNB is good TV. Give the writers and producers their credits for excellent character developments. Seeing Piper (Taylor Schilling), and Alex (Laura Prepon), rekindle their relationship is a nice turn of events.

Laura Prepon reminds me of a nice girl I chilled with in my dormitory. Ironically, she was an actress and bisexual too. There was also a lesbian, who acted exactly like Crazy Eyes.

Why does Crazy Eyes always steal the show?

Also, Dascha Polanco plays an interesting role. I look forward to the Diaz character developing. Unfortunately, her story is the most saddening.

The program goes deeply inside criminal minds exposing their harsh memories. The reality of it all is that, these inmates are beating themselves up mentally. That’s why the new drama class is important to their survival. Moreover, it is crucial that the inmates express their emotions and feelings.

Have the 13 episodes lived up to the hype? I’ve tediously watched 4 shows so far. When I give a critique or review, I analyze every detail.

OITNB has stories abound. That’s why it never bores you. It’s always fun and witty.

The series has taken over social media. You’ll see thousands of tweets related to Season 3. That’s why it’s back, in full force, by popular demand.

Have you heard the expression, “there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians?” In this case there are too many Indians (inmates) and not enough chiefs (guards).

Orange Is the New Black Season 3 has proven to be the best of the series without question. Who are your favorite characters? Are you binge watching OITNB? If so, let’s fade to orange.
