OK. I just finished season three of Orange Is The New Black (“Don’t Make Me Come Back There” and “Trust No Bitch.”) and I have so many feelings. Will Stella come back? How could they do that to Sophia? So, first of all, Daya finally went into labor in “Don’t Make Me Come Back There.” […]

Episodes 8 through 11 of Orange is the New Black (“Fear, and Other Smells,” “Where my Dreidel At,” “A Tittin’ and a Hairin,’” and “We Can Be Heroes”) got intense. We saw backstories from Alex, Leanne, Pennsatucky, and Caputo. Leanne’s backstory was particularly interesting. We’ve seen her become more and more aggressive in the Norma […]

Episodes three through seven (“Empathy is a Boner Killer,” “Finger in the Dyke,” Fake it Till you Fake it some More,” “Ching Chong Chang,” and “Tongue-Tied,”) saw some big changes at Litchfied.

The problem? It was in Tokyo. And Shoshonna was getting really serious with the […]

Hannah and her mom weren’t dealing with it well, but they both, of course, have the right to their feelings. Hannah was feeling really uncomfortable about the whole thing, especially since people kept bringing […]

I thought this week’s episode of Girls “Tad & Loreen & Avi & Shanaz” was amazing. Coming out of therapy and just after Hannah’s mom Loreen got tenure, Hannah’s dad Tad told her he was gay. It did seem like Tad had a lot on his mind when he went to see Hannah. And Loreen […]

In Girls’ “Ask Me My Name,” Hannah is getting into her life as a substitute teacher and immediately hits it off with another teacher named Fran. He asks Hannah on a date and it goes pretty well until Hannah suggests they go to an art show she knows will be terrible. Seriously. Can Hannah just […]
