The Get Down: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Where There Is Ruin, There Is Hope for a Treasure" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Recap Bronx 1977 is a depreciated environment. Yet despite burning buildings and empty lots, things still bloom in the cracks. Be it a wordsmith, a new type of music, or young love.

Easy: Season 1/ Episode 1 [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

If you’re familiar with Joe Swanberg’s work, him finally working on a series seems long overdue. For with his characters being just the right kind of weird, but only occasionally overdoing it, consistently he had made movies you wished were extended into series. Drinking Buddies perhaps the best example. So with Easy comes the chance…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 8 “Appropriately Sized Pots” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview After “A Whole Other Hole” you may have wanted Rosa’s backstory, well here it is. Review (with Spoilers) Because Rosa has always been the sick one in the background during the first season, I never took much note of her. She was just there like an extra. This episode though made her become one…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 13 “We Have Manners. We’re Polite.” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The season finale mostly gives you what you expect to happen, with little to no surprises. Review (with Spoilers) 13 episodes over one weekend. The backstories of Taystee, Poussey, Vee, Suzzane, Red, Rosa and Gloria, as well as others who really weren’t that interesting. But, even with Sophia being largely absent, these women really…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 12 “It Was the Change” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview We’ve almost reached the end of the line and if there is one thing that should be noted in this episode: Never, ever, trust Vee. Review (with Spoilers) As you can tell by now, Vee pretty much took whatever significance Sophia had, among others, and damn near stole the season. Arguably she is only…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 11 “Take a Break from Your Values” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview When people don’t show humility, bad things happen. Which even when you pray, sometimes can’t be avoided. Review (with Spoilers) If you recall season 1, the reason why the girls all came together, despite racial differences, was because Mendez was such a bully that he had to go. But, one thing they couldn’t do…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 10 “Little Mustachioed Shit” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview With a 2nd Piper episode comes a rehash on her relationship with Alex, but luckily the episode is saved by Red and Vee’s continuing issues. Review (with Spoilers) I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for Vee and Red’s little back and forth, and all the people they bring into their drama, this…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 5 “Low Self Esteem City” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview As racial divides worsen, so does the overall condition of the prison. Review (with Spoilers) I am 5 episodes into this marathon and still haven’t gotten bored. Though I must admit I find it so odd how Sophia has been virtually absent on the show, especially considering Laverne Cox’s profile probably benefitted the most…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 4 “A Whole Other Hole” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview We discover the truth about Christopher as Red seeks to reestablish herself, as does Vee. Review (with Spoilers) I don’t know why I don’t remember season 1 having this format of which it features one specific character as everything else goes on. Be it because the featured characters of season 1 appealed more to…

Orange is the New Black: Season 2/ Episode 1 “Thirsty Bird” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview With 95% of season 1’s cast nowhere to be seen, we are stuck with Piper, Alex, and the type of characters which bring 0 interest. Review (with Spoilers) To me, if you never saw the first season and wanted to see what the hype was all about, this episode would make you think this…
