Only watched the first episode of season 5 before I got distracted, worth picking up again? I don't remember anything about it.

I am kinda surprised that this show is still going. It looks like nearly all the Season 1 cast is gone.

Wow...also surprised the show is still going. Was this a really long break between seasons or did I just miss season 5

Feels like this show has definitely left the public consciousness - after being originally quite a huge show.

Wonder how long it can last. Maybe a lot of people still watch it?

This looks even darker than the last season which wasn't my favorite. I really was hoping it was a bit more lighthearted this season and that doesn't look to be the case.

How lighthearted can a show about prison really be though? They've always had a good balance with this, though.

I checked out around the end of season 3.

I just didn't see any more interesting stuff with the characters happening that would matter.

Really enjoyed the first 2 seasons though.

I stopped after a few episodes into S3. It may have changed after that but I just get tired of seeing series that combine humour and drama well push further and further to the drama side.

Was really hoping they would introduce a lot of new characters this time around, kind of like a reset since it's a new prison but from the trailer, it was nothing but a slim downed cast of last season. Meh.

I really enjoyed the last season, dunno why people are so down about it. It was an interesting break from the show's routine, that allowed the characters to do things they weren't able to do otherwise.

Yeah, no. Season 1 was great, everytihng else since then has been a spiral of ever increasing goofyness and pure bullshit. The last season was fuckawful.

I thought seasons 3 and 4 were awful but I watched all of season 5 on some flights and felt it at least fixed some of the issues. Can't say I'm excited or anything for this but I'll at least give it a shot

I'm pretty sure I'm at least 2 seasons behind. Crazy it is still going. Oh well. I will watch all some day. I love Netflix!

I only watched a few episodes of the first season, but isnt she the main character?
Not anymore really. It's really an ensemble, a very good one as well.

Edit: also hyped as fuck. I love this show. With this and castle rock coming out. It's the perfect excuse to stay out of blistering sun

She's always there but after season 3 or so her character arc kinda stagnates and she is no longer a main focus. Now it's very much an ensemble cast kind of show like Mad Men.

I'm fucking hyped. I have confidence it will be back on track, and much better than last season.

I checked out at the end of last season when it turned into a slasher movie with that crazy guard. I'm good on this unless reviews are amazing.

They both hit season six this year, the Spacey situation made Orange premiere first, though!
House of Cards premiered in February 2013, Orange is the New Black premiered in July 2013.

As of this moment House of Cards has been running longer, but OINTB will probably outlast it in the long run. Even if they both got cancelled this year, the final season of HOC will only be 8 episodes whereas OINTB will have a full 13 I think.

Season 5 was fucking garbage, had to stop watching partway through. It would have to do a LOT to win me back.

I've recently rewatched season 5 and I am hyped for the new season. I'm happy they could keep most of the cast. I was expecting them to cut off many of the characters and start with a bunch of them in a new prison. Besides of a few, most of them seem to be back.

Series 1 was the best. Once we started losing the American Pie dude's character (forgot his name! Biggs?) It started becoming less interesting for me. I stopped watching in series 4 and never came back. Started getting silly and stretched out

Although I liked the show, and thought each season was better than the one before it, for some random reason I couldn't be bothered to watch season 5. I just had zero motivation. Can't explain why. What's the general consensus on that season?

I love how I instantly remembered who this is in the show

Damn, now I remember what happened with her, they better fix that ASAP

What's the general consensus on that season?

Prolly the worst one. Just dragged hard.

Like, my mind's an absolute blank for the most part regarding what happened in it. Shit, if you told me S5 happened 2 years ago, I'd believe you. Feels like it's been forever since the last season.
