Litchfield, ladies, lesbians Part 1

This episode is part 1 of 2 all about one of our favourite LGBTQ+ shows, Orange is the New Black. The show is based on Piper Kerman’s memoir under the same name. We’re chatting our favourite characters, couples and storylines throughout all 7 seasons.

While Molly watched this show in secret and Becca watched it openly, we both adore the diverse cast of characters and topics tackled throughout.

Coming to terms that most long-term couples in TV are toxic was difficult, but we love to hate Alex Vause and Piper Chapman (Vauseman.)

As all our listeners will come to realise, we’re suckers for good love stories with major flaws, but sometimes we wonder if it’s because this is the only representation we know…

All that’s left to say is thank you Jenji Kohan for creating this messy queer masterpiece that we all love. For breaking out hearts on multiple occasions but also allowing us to realise we were gay.

Join us next week for part 2 of our OITNB episode, where we chat a large selection of other LGBTQ+ characters within the show.

Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter @DLDTPodcast to get all our updates.

note: an error, in the episode we say Piper Chapman is sentenced to 15 years, in the show it is 15 months.
