10 Amazing TV Shows (With Terrible Lead Characters)
3. Orange Is The New Black
Orange is the New Black was one of the first heavy hitter shows that Netflix rolled out for their original content, and all these years later, it still holds up today. Only problem is that Piper is still the worst possible protagonist for a show like this.
The main problem with Piper is that her near constant grumbling and complaining would be tolerable (she is, after all, stuck in the American prison system, so her frustrations aren't unwarranted) if everyone else around her didn't have it a million times worse.
Point to any character in the above image alone, let alone any given episode of the show, and chances are good that they have it way worse than Piper, yet she and the show act like she has it the worst of all. And yes, the show does get around to smacking her with some reality, but her attitude doesn't change to any significant degree to make a difference.
