One of Netflix’s First Masterpieces Gets Completely Forgotten About Today (But It’s Still One of Their Best)

The popular series Orange is the New Black, based on Piper Kerman’s 2010 memoir, starred Taylor Schilling and followed a privileged woman’s 15-month prison sentence at Litchfield Penitentiary. When all episodes of the first season dropped on Netflix on July 11, 2013, the show quickly became a hit. It ran for seven seasons and even earned the first Primetime Emmy nomination for an original web series. Despite its success, it’s surprising how little people discuss it now.
