20 Best 2017 Netflix Original TV Series - Ranked From Worst To Best
17. Orange Is The New Black (Season 5)
Though Orange is the New Black's fifth season did start to show signs of the series repeating itself, it's hard not to be impressed by the ambitious decision to have the entire season take place over just three days, and for the most part, it's a gamble that works splendidly.
There's a pervasive sense of dread throughout the season, both in light of Poussey's (Samira Wiley) demise at the end of the previous season, and the ensuing prison riot. While this doesn't always mesh perfectly with some of the season's goofier comedy elements, it's never anything less than addictive viewing.
It's safe to say that the upcoming sixth season should probably be the show's last lest it wants to jump the shark or risk flanderizing itself, but more often than not, season five's compressed timeframe made for some of the show's most intense human drama.
