TV review - "Orange is the New Black: Season 3" (2015) ****

The season premiere of this got things off to a wonky start and my expectations were low but it got better as it went along and some of the arcs proved surprisingly durable: privatisation of the prison led to some excellent satire (I love the moment "am I being fired?" "HR will talk you through it") and a great characterisation in the new boss of the warden; I went with Piper becoming more corrupted (though I did get sick of soiled panties gag) and enjoyed Soso's breakdown and the new religion and the Jewish food plot; Ruby Rose isn't much of an actor but she was very well cast. Loved the finale, with moment of warmth undercut with buses upon buses of new arrivals.
