I just finished it, this season was wild from start to finish. I have to rewatch the first to be sure but i think it might be the better season so far
Alright I had one HELL of a lazy day off yesterday and I watched the ENTIRE thing.
I thought the flashbacks were on POINT this season. I always enjoy when we see how these women got to prison in the first place. They are always so multifaceted and I think my favorite this season was Rosa, the elderly bank robber with Cancer. Her flashbacks were often and her story was often standalone, but I really enjoyed her scenes with the boy with cancer and I loved how everything turned out for her.
I also loved the backstory of....What's her name? Moretti? The one who was basically a stalker and how throughout the first season we believed that she was engaged to this knight in shining armor and then to see how it turned out.
I both LOVED Vee and HATED her. I thought she was a BRILLIANT actress and I love how they weaved hers and Taystee's story together. She was such a cunning and cutthroat character but I think me, like EVERYBODY in the end just wanted her gone.
The actress (Kate Mulgrew) who plays Red is just fantastic...she portrays such a survivor and she has always managed to thrive in prison.
The one storyline that I just DONT really care about is the Prison Guard and The Pregnant Girl..I'm kind of over it.
In the first season I wasn't really feeling the Piper/Alex relationship because I thought them winding up in the same prison just WOULDNT have happened in real life, but I like how they left things open for her.
There was just so much going on, and really what I love about this show is that even the MINOR characters have depth and life and you care about what's happened to them and I think that's really important...in fact I think the WEAKEST character in terms of development this season was PIPER...the show didn't really revolve around her much this season...she was kind of like an afterthought, and her arc didn't really go far.
I'm also not sure how I feel about the whole warden/asst. warden thing. I really hate both the actors who go back and forthe...
and I'm also INCREDIBLY creeped out by that grey haired guy who tries to be a counselor and what not and his russian mail order bride. He is incredibly scary to me and I think he is going to only get darker and more disturbing as the show moves on.
All in all I think it really captured the spirit of the first season and really took it to another level this year and I'm pretty happy with it overall!

Yeah, Morello's story was my favorite.
(I totally checked up her name, 'cause I'm useless when it comes to remembering character names)
Loved how it surprised me and yet made so much sense.
haha, he really seems like a guy who could snap any moment.
Will be interesting to see if where they will take that character in the future.

Wasn't asked but as someone who loved the first season as well I definitely think the second season lived up to it! It was just as addictive, a little less Pipery (I like Piper, don't get me wrong) and a lot more focus on the other inmates stories which I thought was really nice. Especially for characters like Miss Rosa and Morello (about whom I've wondered...)
There were elements that I didn't like, mostly stuff outside of the prison (if you get my drift those who've seen it) but mostly it was very enjoyable. I do need to re-watch it cause me and my sis plowed through it pretty fast...
What I will say is that the woman who plays Vee is a wonderful actress. A wonderful range and utterly believable at all times! I don't think I've ever hated a character as much as I hated Vee BUT the actress is impeccable
