Orange is the New Black is a 2013 drama with seven seasons. The series’ foundation is provided by Piper Kerman’s memoir Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison which includes true stories from her life, specifically the aftermath of getting involved in drug trafficking and money laundering with her ex-girlfriend.

The Netflix original series was created by Kenji Lohan and was the most-watched series of 2016. The show is very diverse and focuses on society’s issues and most marginalized voices–black and Latino women, queer and trans women, drug addicts, rape survivors, and the mentally ill.

I think the show is really good, and I would recommend it to anyone. The show represents many different genres like comedy, drama, and romance. The cast is sensational; the production is great; and the writing is amazing. Each character has distinctive qualities, and the character development throughout the seasons just goes together so well.

I would’ve loved to see a lot of things end differently as the show was coming to an end. The ending was sad because many fan-favorite characters had unexpected endings. After watching for so long and understanding the characters, they start to grown on you. That’s what happened to me.

I would’ve loved to see all the characters with happy endings, especially Tastee (Sasha Jefferson). I felt she had the most emotional story. Her best friend in prison was wrongfully killed by a guard while she was participating in a protest for the awful prison conditions. All she wanted was justice for her, but instead it didn’t end in her favor. She ended up getting life in prison and charged with the murder of the guard who murdered her friend.
