Orange Is the New Black

Synopsis

Piper Chapman, a generally successful woman, goes to jail out of the blue for a minor offense she committed 10 years ago. Piper has to spend 13 long months behind bars. The main character has to not only somehow maintain her calm and settled life, since she did not receive a life sentence, but also to adapt to the new order of things.

Since the creators of the TV series want to show completely different stories of different characters, viewers are presented with dozens of stories of women’s lives.

As a result, TV viewers are presented as a wonderful tragicomedy, perfectly balancing at the intersection of genres.
