Our View –

First of all I would like to clear that this show not basically focuses on the Latinas or specifically the Hispanics but they have a majority of the cast which is Latina and for that reason I have selected this series to be considered for the Hispanic Heritage Month series.

It is based on a real life of Piper Kerman, and the show is based on her bestselling memoir. The show is really good and it shows how the inmates live in the prison with some real life troubles and some moments which are fiction but it gives a pretty good view of it.

When i first started watching Orange is the New Black I found it very entertaining as all the characters are given a very different back story. This show has brilliant writers and also should be recommended to a person who enjoys an open minded show.

This show will make you laugh, it will make you cry and sometimes you might even find it boring but its definitely worth your time. This show even touches numerous topics like #MeToo, ICE and immigration and many more. 

This show is also very popular as it features a transgender person, Laverne Cox known as Sophia Bursett on the show. Her acting skills and her performance is absolutely to the mark.

This show is no doubt long but it is also worth watching all the way to the end.
