Watch Sons of Anarchy Online. White Chick Behind Bars. Netflix’s Orange is the New Black gets an ‘A’ on queer issues, a ‘C’ on race and an ‘F’ on class. The show can't conceive of the fact that the biggest hurdle for most of the women in prison with Chapman is not that they made 'bad choices,' but that their future choices are foreclosed by prison. [Warning: This piece contains minor plot spoilers from the series.] The strange positioning of a bra in an explicit lesbian sex scene reveals volumes about the erotic economy of Netflix’s latest series, Orange is the New Black, about women in prison. Two white women, Nicky Nichols (played by Natasha Lyonne) and Lorna Morello (Yael Stone), are fucking vigorously in a prison chapel.

They’ve been at it for a while when the camera cuts to a shot of Morello’s upper body. Despite all the thrashing around, she manages to hide her breasts with, first, her hands, and then her bra, which stays mysteriously well-positioned. There’s barely a nipple in sight as she pulls herself together. How “Real” Is “Orange Is The New Black”? Comparing The Show To The Memoir To The Numbers.

Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black debuted at a perfect time for numerous reasons — like that we were starving, really, for a racially diverse female-driven show unafraid to tackle queer and transgender narratives. But the timing is particularly perfect politically, because now more than ever the shameful, counterproductive, racially biased and monumentally expensive criminal justice system deserves national interrogation, and this show could potentially help move that conversation forward.

Presently, the U.S. is home to 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the world’s prison inmates and women are this country’s fastest-growing prison population. And now we have Orange is The New Black, the first American television program since Oz to so poignantly dramatize, eroticize and criticize the system. Plus, OITNB does a thing Oz rarely did, which is make us laugh.

Logo Movie House. Top 12 Best “L Word” Episodes Ever. We would not be here today if it wasn’t for The L Word, because it was various online communities developed around that show that eventually evolved into this website! Every now and again, it seems important to revisit our roots, and today we will do so via my Top Twelve Favorite L Word episodes ever. My qualifications to write this list include that I was the L Word recapper for The L Word Online for Seasons 3-5 and hosted Showtime’s L Word vlog Lezberado for Season Six. Also, Ilene Chaiken hates me. This list was incredibly difficult to put together, especially because so many of my favorite scenes took place in so many terrible episodes. Worse still was the abysmal situation known as “Season Four,” a sprawling mess of nonsense which managed to corrupt one of the series’ best scenes ever — the basketball scene.

I also wanted to include at least one episode per season, otherwise I just would’ve listed all of Season One and included a few photos of Shane’s nipples. Oh, one more thing!
