The new season started last week. At first I didn't think I would like it, no more Litchfield  well they're mostly all "down the hill" in Litchfield max now. It's turning out to be pretty good. There are 3 blocks at Max.C, run by Carole, D, run by Carole's sister Barb who is played by Mackenzie Phillips!  Carole and Barb have been imprisoned since they were young and are great rivals. Don't want to give too much away for anyone that might not be done yet, I'm not even done!  |

I've only seen the first episode, thank God for the humor or else it would be super depressing. My favorite part was Suzanne and the Cha-Cha Slide.
I'm also excited for more of 'Badison' ("I'm not bad, they just drew me that way") I hope she continues to be someone I love to hate.
What the guards are doing to them is so hard to watch.....

I never made it through the last season - I found the format of the whole season taking place in such a short period of time let it drag too much. If I pick up at the start of this season, will I be able to follow? Or should I accept that it's no longer a show i watch?

IMO, last season was difficult to watch, but important to understand what happens in the new season. I finished the new season on Sunday - I watched all of it but one episode on Saturday and saved the season finale for Sunday morning. I have mixed feelings. There were a lot of characters that I missed and I didn't like some of the new characters - sorry beerbelly, I HATED Badison. I'm curious about what next season holds, especially in light of events in the finale. I really hope several of the cast members who were missing from this season will be back next season.
IMO, Taystee's storyline was the best this season. Danielle Brooks absolutely deserves an Emmy nod. She broke my heart. The scenes with Taystee and Caputo were excellent and so emotional.

Agree Critical, not a fan of "Badison". My co-worker said it kind of ends like the show may be ending. Does anyone know if it's been picked up for season 7?

Amanda Fuller (Badison) formerly from Last Man Standing is phenomenal in this role. It really took me a while to figure out where I knew her from. Her Boston accent is pretty spot on. I'm seeing an Emmy nom for Best Supporting for her.

It has been rumoured that it will be the final season. Badison was ok. A love to hate character. More annoying than scary. Barb and Carol were interesting, and their young counterparts in the flashbacks were really good. Overall I liked - not loved - the season. I did miss a lot of the characters who weren’t transferred to Litchfield Max. |

I too felt that the last episode was the ending of the series. I can't imagine what they will be doing in the last season! I hated Madison--such a mean nasty person and thats saying a lot in view of her being in a max prison! I kept waiting for a shiv to come her way. When is it safe to talk details about this season without spoiling it for others?

I see many possibilities for a new season, I'll spoil just in case {Spoiler}
They can focus on clearing Taystee's name, I would like to see Alex as "top dog", we can see what life is like for Piper, we can follow Blanca's story
Fig and Caputo seemed to get a little closer. Just some ideas. |

I couldn't stand Badison. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I've always thought Daya was sort of dumb, too, and she didn't do anything this season to change my mind.
I loved Nicky this season, she's one of my favorites. Danielle Brooks also did an amazing job as Taystee.
I enjoyed the season - if not how everything turned out - but I think there are plenty of stories left to tell. I hope they continue!

I agree... I love how the game resolved. Was sad about ICE. Much to explore next season!

Is anyone watching season 7? I'm finishing up episode 11 and am dreading the next few episodes. This ICE storyline is just crushingly sad, not just because of what's happening to characters we've grown to love on the show, but because I know these types of things are happening right now in this country.
I know that, realistically, some of these stories - MANY of these stories - won't have happy endings (we've already seen a few terribly sad endings), but I hope at least a few characters have happy-ish endings.

I started watching season 7 last night. Agree about the ICE storyline. A lot of the themes are very relevant, from equal pay to restorative justice.
Once again Danielle Brooks is just fantastic.

Good final season. Even though it was time for the show to end, I am really going to miss these characters. Glad we got to see old favorites at the end.
