Orange Is the New Black has been gaining
a lot of attention lately from a range of ages from 15 and higher. As there are
scenes of strong language, the producer was most likely not expecting an
audience as young as 15, yet more and more keep watching. From beginning till the end TV show manages
to seem to attract lots of attention with its comedy. What seems to keep people
so interested could possibly be the fact that a women has gone to prison for
something that she done wrong, but her life ended up being more interesting
than she had expected.
Although in each series there are adult
scenes, the setting of the TV drama makes it feel completely normal. As it reflects
on the funny side of bad events in a women’s life, this prison-comedy shows a
whole new side to women from strong and independent to the deceitful and
vicious. The series are written and directed by women, but most importantly shreds
a light on what it’s like to be black or transgender in America. The directors
were proudly able to put forward characters that you would usually see on, recommending
this show for any teenager to adult because it isn't your typical clean cut show
its messy making even more realistic. Critics have also written that it was a
fantastic way of displaying transgender to the public.
