"CorrectiCon is a classic hellscape in the Jenji Kohan style: Weeds loved being able to offer insights into inherently corrupt organizational structures, and the private prison business offers significant material." THANK YOU FOR IDENTIFYING THIS; I thought I was the only one who picked up on Kohan's themes! For…

This is Antoine 'bed intruder song' Dodson all over again.

Does anyone else get the 'Slutwhisperer' vibe with Gerald's character? For those of you who follow him, when he's not posting memes, he basically echos everything Gerald says after his posts get reported in addition to continuing to troll the people who hate-follow his account (which, in my opinion, he should just…

New to "Reasonable Discussions" but: Hooray that there's a comment forum that doesn't make me frown upon humanity. Reading threads on A.V.

I do want to be optimistic, but I also think about how long the show would be vs. how long the real Piper's memoir is and what else would need to be included in the future seasons.

As someone who decided to cringe through seasons 4-8 of Weeds, Kohan seems to be notorious for coming up with darker, more twisted plots with a darker, more grim sense of humor thrown in as the main characters become more fucked up. In Weeds, I almost felt like some of the seasons and character fates were created with…
