ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
Netflix, Check local listings
SEASON PREMIERE: Turn on Netflix this morning, or anytime therafter, and Season 2 of Orange Is the New Black is waiting for you. Not just the first episode of the new season, but all 13. Weeds creator Jenji Kohan has started the new year of Orange in an intentionally unsettling place, with prisoner Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) roused from her cell in the middle of the night, and transported to some unknown place for some unknown reason. The first hour is almost all Piper, and it’s a smart reboot to a series that thinks of itself as a comedy, but often is more serious, and involving, than many dramas.
