Godspells Uzo Aduba in new Netflix series Orange Is The New Black

There's a novel of the same title -- is it based on that?

Yep

I like it a lot. It's definitely reminiscent of Kohan's last venture, WEEDS. Taylor Schilling is fantastic.

Uzo is wonderful, the show is great, and the way it tells a trans woman's story is pretty groundbreaking.

Watched about 5 episodes thus far and it is indeed a wonderful show.

I have four episodes left. So glad I took a friend's advice and started watching.

So much theatre talent on here, Uzo Aduba, Annie Golden, Pablo Schreiber, Elizabeth Rodriguez, etc, its really exciting.

I just started watching it yesterday. Can't wait to finish the season! The writing was great and ewach episode definitely flew by.

I am hooked, great cast. great writing and engaging stories.

Isn't that also original broadway Mrs Potts, Beth Fowler, as the Nun?

I would watch this program, but one of its actors, Jason Biggs, is a sexist, egotistical, lying hypocritical bigot.

"Sometimes you have to separate the artist from the art"

I did that with Christian Bale when I saw 'The Fighter' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' even though I was bothered by the fact that he flew into an angry tirade in 2008 and swore while accepting an award at the 2011 Golden Globes. I still appreciated the performance from the late George Carlin on 'Shinning Time Station' as a child, even though Ringo Starr was better, despite finding out he was a raunchy and controversial comedian in my later years.

But I have not enjoyed any project Jason Biggs has done. Plus, I just find him to be an unlikable person with little to no talent. If was a casting director and a role came down to either him or Pauly Shore I would have a tough time deciding which is the lesser of the two evils. I might even pick Pauly Shore over him because I at least enjoyed Shore in the 'Goofy' movies.

^ I've seen films and TV shows where characters swears. There was plenty of it during 'The Fighter'. I just did not think Bale needed to swear when accepting an award. I corrected my previous post for what I meant to say.
