After an experimental season, Netflix's prison series returns, with new episodes posted online this Friday, with a more traditional story and plunges her heroines into a high security prison. A welcome revival
Only a series in the flower of success could afford this daring. Last year, Orange Is the New Black dedicated his thirteen episodes to the riot that shook for three days at the Lichtfield Women's Prison. Under this closed time, Jenji Kohan's soap opera began to spin in circles, sometimes pouring into the parody of a horror movie. The season 6, posted on Netflix this Friday, returns to a more traditional story, if we except a first episode full of fantasy where shines Uzo Aduba, alias Suzanne "the Nutcracker". The soap opera that has done so much for the diversity of bodies, badualities and the representation of minorities on the small screen resets the counters to zero, offering a cure of youth.
The mutiny having been broken, Piper (Taylor Schilling), Alex (Laura Prepon), Red (Kate Mulgrew) and their sisters in pain suffer the immediate consequences. Starting with a transfer to a high security institution. Inmates (and their mates) will have to review their allegiances. Not sure that ancestral friendships resist it. In this penitentiary, the lines of demarcation are not ethnic origins but two rival sisters: Carol and Barbara, who have been engaged in an endless gang war for thirty years. Ex-Lichtfields will have to choose sides – not always of their own accord – and acquire the necessary survival reflexes.
This questioning of the established order dominates the first part of the season and even gives rise to moments of lightness and humor quite cheerful. But, as often with Netflix, you have to take the time to get to know a host of new secondary characters – the lieutenants of the Daddy and Badison terrors are the most prominent – and see the main plot emerge from this seeming frivolity.
Corrupted, violent, racist
Despite this thinning Orange Is the New Black does not relinquish his indictment against the American prison system: corrupt, violent, racist and obsessed by profit. No matter the truth. Because scapegoats are needed, the riot leader investigation finds ideal culprits and directs the evidence to this effect. The saga finds its sharp political acuity when it involves the Black Lives Matter movement and focuses on the opiate crisis. Orange Is the New Black addresses, at the end of these adventures, unpublished themes that augur a seventh season broad horizons. We will finally resume an extension of sentence.
