Orange Is the New Black : Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

I'm not saying this show is perfect by any means, but I see so many posts where people are hating on characters or actresses or entire seasons or multiple episodes and I find it a tad confusing because I love this show. I know, I know... different strokes, but still... I didn't like season two as much as I liked the first season, but overall, I'm very invested in this show as a whole. Not every episode or character will be the best thing ever, but I see so many people posting things like "I don't like the first three episodes of this season. I'm so over this show. I'm done."

Maybe it's just me, but I don't put four years into a show and then stop watching because a new character seems annoying so far or a certain season isn't as funny as the season before. I love this show - flaws and all. And I also have faith that if something seems off, there's probably a reason for that and if I keep watching, I'll find out and it'll all make sense or it'll be corrected. People just seem, overall, very dramatic and so ready to give up on this show as soon as they're not happy. "The last five minutes of this show haven't entertained me; I'm gonna cancel Netflix!"

This show has always been controversial (because LIFE is controversial) and it seems like every few episodes someone is giving up on the show because they're offended. "I don't like the way veterans are being portrayed." "I don't like the rape story line." "I don't like the way Hispanics are being portrayed." "I'm half Japanese and half Native American - I don't like that I'm not being represented on this show. I quit! I'm done watching!" Geeeeez. This board is very sensitive and very dramatic. Not everyone, but a lot of people are really, really whiny and annoying.

I think this show has been consistently satisfying for the most part and it deserves our patience and loyalty.

That's just my opinion.

No way hun I'm satisfied to ... I just finished watching season 4 finale I'm blown the "F" away I want more ...I will not spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it but this season was pretty powerful . Comedy yes but it went deeper this season . I would go so far as to say that out of season 1-2-3 #4 is the soul of OITNB....

Re: Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

There have been weak seasons, but even at its worst this show is still one of the best things on "TV". I think with all the time in between, people get too hyped, then they binge-watch it too quickly, and then they feel even more dissatisfied than they would have if they just took it all in at a reasonable pace.

For me Season 4 is one of the strongest, and I am just as excited about the show as I've ever been. But I do have a bone to pick with Jenji Kohan, regarding how she handled Poussey...

"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll just...assume the worst."

Re: Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

People aren't always gonna like the same characters, seasons and all of that.The people that bother posting that on here are people you shouldn't spend your time giving a second thought.

Re: Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

You're just seeing a lot of complainers because most people who like shows don't come to the message boards to talk about how much they like it. People use the internet to complain.

Re: Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

I even enjoyed Season 3 a bit, that others hated.

Re: Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

The only thing I hate about the show is how long I have to wait between seasons. And part of that is my own fault because I feel like I have to binge it.

Re: Am I the Only One Who's Satisfied With This Show?

Nope. I'm loving every episode. Just finished binge watching Season 4.
