So far this is the only thing in Netflix I am hooked on to after Good Wife. Yes I prefer series with female protagonists. What I really like about this series is that it doesn't revolve around Piper Chapman although the season 1 is more about her.
Its a good story on how different individuals react and cope up with being locked up. It also resonates with the rest of us to look beyond the things that lock us up and try to change the things we can. In season 6 I like the way Piper starts to lobby kick ball just to enjoy some time under the sun. Also just being in love changes the whole equation of being locked up for Piper. In season 6 after Piper meets Alex, prison life doesn't seem to bother her because she has something to look forward to.
Another character I liked is Maria Ruiz. Her character transforms from a vulnerable mother to a hopeless inmate to a riot instigator. Season 6 shows her dabbling with becoming religious as a means to obtain salvation only to go back being bitter after realizing that she cannot forgive. I liked this part where they talked boldly about religion and spirituality as a means to escape from reality. Also that forgiving is never easy. This show boldly touches on a lot of subjects from racism to commercialization of prisons to lesbianism.
