About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gripping, character-driven prison dramedy with big emotions and humor, and strong ensemble performances; Not for you if you dislike prisons, crowded storylines, or if you prefer a consistently uplifting tone—check out Weeds or Jessica Jones instead.
Pros: strong character focus; often funny-drama mix; great ensemble acting | Cons: story drags sometimes; many characters; some seasons uneven
