10 All-Time Great Netflix Original Series
4. Orange Is The New Black
Orange is the New Black is pretty much groundbreaking television. Centered around an upper middle class white woman who is sent to jail as a result of some minor drug trafficking charges during her youth (spring break gets crazy sometimes, right?), there's a ton of culture shock and racial commentary.
Set in a woman's prison, it goes without saying that Orange is the New Black features more than its fair share of interesting and dynamic female characters that defy the stereotypes and conventions we're used to -- it definitely passes the Bechdel Test.
And as an ensemble piece in the truest sense of the word, there are a tremendous number of stand out performances, actors that have been acknowledged at award ceremonies and otherwise, who will hopefully all end having careers that still exist meaningfully once Orange is the New Black goes off the air for good. They deserve it.
