I’m in the midst of watching season 3 of Orange is the New Black. I’ll probably have something to say about it when I finish the entire season.
The pre-release publicity about it was everywhere last week. It made an impression on me when I realized how diverse the cast interviews were and how many actors have become known because of Orange is the New Black.
Here’s a short essay I wrote on Twitter.

that these particular women are stars and their interviews are watched eagerly. Says so much about the power of media 2/3
