Such a great show. I was a little unhappy with how when they moved prisons between the second and third season they completely dropped some of the characters with no further mention (including the main character, who had a quite frankly ridiculous return towards the end of the show, which I don't think is really a spoiler as it was quite apparent it was going to happen). But overall it didn't really ruin the latter half for me. People need to stop comparing this to Orange is the New Black as that was intended to be more lighthearted and comedic. A more obvious comparison would be to Wentworth which I will say is a bit more cohesive and takes the necessary time to build its characters. For example, in both these shows, a character struggles with Alzheimer's. Despite being a monumental event in both shows, it is only mentioned in this one over the course of a few episodes whereas it lasts nearly two seasons in Wentworth and we really feel the disease's progression as it becomes a major plot point and starts having an effect on all the afflicted character's friends. What this show lacks in fleshing out its characters though it makes up for in action. Having a parallel arc taking place outside the prison was a refreshing break from some of the lesbian drama that got a little old at times.
