After watching season 1 of Orange is the new black I just did not think it could get any better. Boy was I wrong. What an amazing show. Never before have I watch a show that has had me laugh and cry so much. It a great mix between a comedy, drama and a feel good chick flick.

In Season Two Piper is awaken from Solitary and without been given any information she is forced to board a bus then plane to an unknown whereabouts. At first Piper thinks she has been moved because of killing Pennsatucky, but she sees Alex and discovers she is in Chicago to testify in the trial of Alex's drug boss, Kubra Balik. Alex wants Piper to lie in court about knowing Kubra, fearing he will exact revenge if they tell the truth. However, Piper wishes to tell the truth. What will Piper do? Follow her heart or her brain?

In season two we also get introduced to a new character Vee who is Taystee's Mum. She is a very interesting character indeed and we learn that she knows Red and we get to learn more about Red character. This also brings an interesting twist to the show, bringing some drama to the comedy.

Morello discovers that her love, Christopher, is marrying another woman. Rosa is told by her doctor that her chemo is not working and she has only three-six weeks left to live. Both these story lines added such sadness to the show. I really feel for the characters and this show has really got some great characters.

I enjoy the twist and turns in this show, it evokes so many emotions in me and you can't help but fall in love with the characters. I can not wait to learn more about the characters and see what life has in store for them in Season 3.

I had really enjoyed the first season but had missed out on viewing season two on TV so I was most pleased to be able to view it when I signed up for Netflix. It took a little while to get through the season as I only watched it when a friend was over, and with five young kids interrupting all the time, this had to go on pause quite a lot as one can imagine. Piper wakes up in solitary and is bustled into a bus, onto a plane and into another prison with as much information as we were given, which is none.

During the season we get a couple more inmates, which adds more complexity to the show as we learn more back stories and more relationships between the new and old characters. I love how there are some things that we suddenly learn when we may have thought otherwise, as well as learning little secrets along the way. There are some funny moments as well as some sad moments, and sometimes combined together (though I can't give any details as my favorite moment is in the very final episode and I don't want to give away any spoilers).

I'm enjoying the season and really looking forward to season three. Long Live Red!
