Though often painful to watch, the overall story and subplots are amazing.

Been a horrible show for years. It's partly the actors, who are not creative enough to be spontaneous or inject something magical.

I have no concept of prison life but I do understand feelings of separation and loss. It's the same honest dialogue as found in "Orange...".

Got through half of the pilot and really do not want to watch anymore. This could have been a good show: it's more like a weak high school production.

I think Shonda Rhimes was mainly going for my segment: individuals who have gone through hard times such as homeless, addiction or abandonment issues. While I don't condone any of Anna's methods, she felt abandoned her entire life, and had trouble seing how her bad behavior would hurt others. The mini-series is long, as we see into the emotions/reactions of all the key players. So some who watched it might get frustrated, but a lot of us "felt" what all went through, including Rachel, etc.

So fun: Spain is just more uninhibited and open in its cinema and TV than U.S.
