Riiiiiiiiiiight?I tried to force myself to like Piper but I cant. I was all team Larry the whole show but im uncertain now seeing how things turned out. I found it to be pretty grimey on everyones part.
Spoiler ShowI actually stopped watching at the current moment around after Pennsatucky's second back story. It was painful for me to watch and while the story made me empathize with her, and that look she gave was so powerful, it just felt as forced as the ending of the episode. Let's make you feel bad about this character because diddly you but also the only way we know how is to rape her.
It was painful for me to see Red flirting with the counselor that NOBODY LIKES to begin with. I know her reasoning, that's great, but...
It didn't even go anywhere.
Nikki is gone, just fucking gone. Because I guess falling back into drugs is just that fucking simple after she spent forever just looking at it???
Piper just GOT the guard to help the panty shit off screen practically. No conflict, just happens, moves on.
Wrote out Bennet because why not, no one cared about the baby anyways, except they FORCE YOU TO CARE ABOUT THE DAMN THING. Just propose and leave and go nowhere with that, but then make us still give a shit about it? It just feels forced and messy to me, though this isn't one of my biggest complaints.
They made Alex paranoid, which is understandable. But they treat her like she's annoying. Literally Piper says she's annoying. Other characters say she's annoying. Why? What purpose does this solve. Piper went from being helpful to Alex and then just dropped her because Ruby Rose has to have sex on the show with the main woman because ???????????????????? she's???? hot??????????
[which she is don't get me wrong ruby rose is fantastic but fucking hell...] Treating near PTSD and anxiety like it's something "annoying" and not worth helping is so fucking awful, especially from Piper who originally was fucking there for her, but then wasn't because HEY I'M JUST A PIECE OF SHIT ON THE FLIP OF A DIME.
Strong points, probably Taystee and Susanne's moment about Vee. I liked Boo's back story, along with Chang and Norma. They were interesting to finally see. I don't have much else to say on them because I was still fine before seeing them. That's the problem I think, is that I was fine not seeing any of this.
So, I haven't watched this show since the Season 2 finale a couple years back. Everytime I think about picking it back up, I just remember that there honestly wasn't a single character I liked or rooted for, and honestly it never felt like anything that crazy happened. I don't know, maybe I'll give Season 3 a shot and see how I feel after a couple episodes, but it's hard to push forward when everyone is just so unlikable.
Going to finish off episodes 11-13 tonight after I finish GoT. So excited, I'm loving this season. Much, much better than season 3.
what's good about this show is, the people in it are realistic portrayals. they're not written characters (well they are but i hope you catch my drift).
there are layers and complications to everyone, some have their own motivations, they have disabilities and afflictions, and the cast is truly diverse.
the point i'm making is that, a few times through the show i felt the same way you do now. but i warmed up to some, felt bad for others and understood their motivations.
you're telling me you didn't like rosa tho?
