Orange Is the New Black (TV Series) Fool Me Once (2013) User Reviews

Leaves you wanting more...

[higby-creative · 9/10 · 16 July 2013]

I binged watched all 13 episodes over a rainy weekend. I didn't totally buy in, until Episode #3, although I was oddly enticed from the very start. I think we can all agree, no matter what your sexual orientation, there's something alluring about the "women in prison" genre. This series starts out making you a little itchy and nervous, and just about the time you think it's okay to eat while watching, the plot twists and makes you rethink the tub of ice cream...or in my case Arctic Ice, because I'm not getting fat sitting on the couch just because I got sucked into a really great TV show.

Watch it. Now.

A Good Episode with unexpected twist

[ankitdasofficial · 9/10 · 12 July 2020]

The story is slowly taking a strange turn, with some unexpected plots included in the story, which made the story a little more entertaining, with the second last episode of this season coming up I really feel like the story has the ability to hold a viewer. If I talk about the acting of all the actors and actresses, then I have to say one thing, in one word, everyone is great acting. I've always had a bit of a problem with the background score, there was no alternative to it in this episode either. Overall a good episode.

Pennsatucky = Insanity... and "I heart her"

[laura-bonaventura1 · 10/10 · 18 May 2014]

Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) goes directly into the hellish spiral of apologies for the dumb-Larry-radio-show and finally faces Alex (Laura Prepon) after knowing she named her. "I love you and I f***king hate you" recaps accurately their relationship. And I love it. Larry (Jason Biggs) is currently the lame character, but he's useful to see the hilarious Cal Chapman (Michael Chernus) so I am perfectly fine with him.

In the meantime we finally find out why Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Dogget is in prison, and it's something beyond imagination, but absolutely believable. What came next it's just a natural consequence: what else a forced religious obsession can do to a drug addict? Yoga Jones (the terrific Constance Shulman) finally tells her story too. It's awkward, crazy and touching at the same time. We already guessed she killed a kid, but we didn't know how that happened. Some people is going for good, and some others are back without any redemption story to tell the others, in about 1 minute this show totally broke my heart.

I believe the entire script (especially the Pennsatucky - Jones parts) deserves a price, it is one of the most well written episodes in the entire season, a real relief for me from the slight disappointment I got from the previous one. I mean, did you see the Sister Ingalls face (played by the amazing Beth Fowler) when Piper starts her prayer? And what about Chapman's speech about religion? They totally cracked me up.

I you missed this show as I did it's time to watch it. Afterwards you can love it or leave it, there are already enough Allison Samuels out there.
