Each episode title is said by a character in the episode, which I love. So this one, "I Wasn't Ready," is said by Piper when she is taking her ID picture and Mendez takes the picture before she is ready to take it.
We meet the crew. The awesome crew of inmates. This show really made me feel like prison wouldn't be all that bad because of how much fun they have. But of course this is just a series. So Piper Chapman doesn't have a very good beginning in prison.
Piper sits with her roommates at one of their meals. She meets this woman named, "Red." She is a Russian woman who has a very long name so she is just referred to as, "Red." Piper makes a comment and says that the food is disgusting. Bad mistake because Red runs the kitchen. She makes all the food.
So now Piper is not served food. She tries to apologize to Red but Red does not accept. Piper sits down and notices she has a sandwich for her now. She is very happy so she opens the sandwich only to find a bloody tampon in the sandwich. I almost barfed. Oh. My. God.
Loved the flashbacks here of Piper and her family. So she runs outside to recover and shivering to see someone walking up to her. The camera pans up to show Alex. Alex Vause. The drug smuggling girlfriend!!! You see a lot of Alex in the flashbacks! But I didn't expect to see her in the present! Piper screams as Alex is standing there staring at her. Episode ends it is such a cliffhanger. I was forever hooked after that.
10/10- amazing series premiere
