If you have access to a Netflix account, you may want to check out the new streaming series Orange Is the New Black. It tells the story of a thirtysomething educated woman who lands in prison for a crime she committed years ago. Jenji Kohan, who also created Weeds, brings the same fish-out-of-water sensibility to this series, but the tone is less harsh. I watched the first episode last night and came away impressed. The characterizations and writing are solid without relying on easy stereotypes.
