Just watched the pilot and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by how fully formed the world immediately feels. I wasn't expecting much from Jenji Kohan but I guess I forgot that the first 3 seasons of Weeds were pretty damn entertaining. A decent amount of interesting characters, and some potential for the story to do some different things with the flashback format. Got some minor Oz vibes, in a good way. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the season.

Glad to hear positive things about this, especially since it seemed like a weird fit when I first heard about it, but seems more like an oddly suitable fit for Netflix the more I think about it. It's the sort of thing I could easily go from "passing curiosity" to "full-on fan" of in just a handful of hours, and having it produced and released through them makes that immediately possible.

Surprised there aren't more people watching this. Show is fucking incredible.

I've heard this is great. It's on my to-watch list.

Yep, meant to follow up. This show is pretty damn good, and incredibly humane in unexpected ways. Definitely binged on it last weekend.
