Why Orange is Black's new season the end of the first Netflix era?



[ad_1]

The cast of Orange is the new black released a video Wednesday afternoon announcing that the seventh season would be the last in the revolutionary and award-winning series of Netflix. This is not necessarily bad news. Seven seasons is a good run in health and more than most shows. It is also true that Orange is the new black has lost some of the punch that has made television an unmissable event – it seems like there are limits to how far you can conduct a story inside the walls of the prison .

Orange is the new blackThe final of the series will follow somewhat behind the last season of Room of cards which will be released next month. It can be hard to remember a moment when Netflix do not have have a new original series every week, but in 2013, when the company went from a convenient place to excessive consumption Frasier to the content creator in its own right, Room of cards and Orange is the new black were two of the first shows launched. They also made Netflix a favorite spot for award-winning storytellers when they landed the Emmys streamer for staging and guest actress in their first two years in the game. Five years later, Netflix has matched HBO for the highest number of statues won at the 2018 Emmy Awards. But now, the platform is looking elsewhere and it's time to say goodbye to the stories that launched an empire.

In addition to Room of cards and Orange is the new black, the rest of the first wave of original dramas based on Netflix algorithms –Hemlock Grove, Marco Polo, Bloodline, Sense8, and (technically) Narcos– have already left. At one point, it seemed that the infinitely deep pockets of Silicon Valley, combined with top-secret evaluation data, meant that Netflix never cancel a series, but the platform has recently become a little smarter and has started cutting programs here and there.

Even Marvel's superheroes – too big to fail at the box office – have come under Netflix spotlight for the first time this week, when the much-maligned Iron fist failed to get a third season. This does not mean the end of comic book shows on Netflix, but it also means that this particular universe is not infinitely extended. Marvel Netflix shows have been on a slippery slope for a while now, but Daredevil Season 3, which begins this week, is a return to form and the sign that if the platform reigns in its television ambitions, there is still much to do among street superheroes.

But with the Emmys defeated, stock prices rising and the never-ending stream of content preventing TV critics and fans from fighting, does Netflix have no more people to conquer? On the contrary. Society now devotes a lot of energy and resources to conquering the world of cinema. In addition to filling his stables with leading film talents, Netflix hired a phalanx of strategists from the awards season, fought against the Cannes Film Festival for the right to participate and even changed its world famous logo. of the Oscar gold. Like BuzzFeed Adam B. Vary Remarks:

Starting this month at the Venice Film Festival, Netflix
discreetly introduces a new opening logo, designed exclusively for
his films play in movie theaters. A thin, bright red line pierces the
middle of a black screen, followed by a bright rainbow of other lines
that ultimately merge into the Netflix "N" – the word "Netflix"
never even appear. In addition to appearing much more cinematic, the new
The logo is a leading sign that, to be dominant in the world
movie world, Netflix realized that it had to start behaving less
as a disruptive force once in a generation, and more like a
old school movie company.

Netflix made a splash at the Oscars earlier this year when the drama Muddy has been nominated in several high-end categories and the documentary Icarus won the first statue of the platform for a long-term project. With Alfonso Cuaroón Roma a key figure in film festivals and favorite of the first Oscars for next year's ceremony, Netflix's priorities could not be clearer. But if Netflix wins the biggest Hollywood award next year, it would be good to remember Piper, Taystee, Suzanne, Sophie, Poussey, Red, Alex, Lorna, Nicky, Claire Underwood and all the other women who paved the way.

Although she was little known when she started Orange is the new black, Aduba has quickly become one of the beloved critics of the drama for good reason. Her empathic and sometimes delightfully delirious portrayal of Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren was one of the highlights of the series. And the Emmy winner has found places to shine outside of Orange as well, including a well-received tour as Glinda the Good Witch of the South in The Wiz Live! and a dubbing gig like Bismuth on Steven Universe.

That's all his character has always wanted.

Millie Bobby Brown

Of all the Strange things Kids, Millie Bobby Brown has become the most recognizable besides Hawkins, Indiana. You may have seen it before hitting Netflix, during guest tours on series like Modern family, NCIS, and The anatomy of Gray… But it is the supernatural drama that has propelled it to glory. Now she has found her next franchise: she is the star of next month. Godzilla: the king of monsters and 2020 Godzilla against Kong. Given what we saw from her Stranger things, we guess these monsters will not know what happened to them.

Katherine Langford

13 reasons why Overnight, she catapulted part of her casting, but she mostly introduced us to Katherine Langford, whose actress career was under the radar before she was cast as Hannah Baker. It's understandable that Langford's performance is needed: despite the mistakes that have made the series and the controversial decisions much talked about, Langford has always played Hannah with an ironic tenderness that deserves recognition. Although Hannah Baker will probably not come back for 13 reasonsThird season, rest assured: Langford has his own Y.A. movie on the way.

Laverne Cox

When Orange is the new black Sophia Burset, a transsexual woman actually played by a transsexual actress, was created for the first time. And since then, Cox's star has risen – both as a defender and an actress, with roles in Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce and The Mindy project, as well as his own series (admittedly short-lived), Doubt. In addition to its ongoing role on Orange, she's about to appear in a new YouTube Premium series, Strange city, produced by Jordan Peele.

the Weird eye Guys

Where would we be without Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, and Bobby Berk? The new Fab Five have taken heart and renovated homes across America for a reason: it's an undeniably attractive unit of joy. A Weird eye remake might have wandered in an unstable territory – and although the new series has still not been successful, it offers a level of flair, empathy and avocado-based recipes that America clearly wants.

The actress herself stated that she did not think anyone knew who she was before her special Baby cobra premiered on Netflix.

Danielle Brooks

Orange is the new black It was Brooks' first real incursion into TV, and she won gold. In five seasons, Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson became the de facto protagonist of the series, as the series discovered that Piper often worked best when she was part of the set. And Taystee's fight to find peace after his best friend, Poussey Washington (Samira Wiley), was killed is one of the most moving arcs in the series. Like many of his Netflix colleagues, Brooks has since expanded to other roles on television – but his most impressive achievement outside of the series has been his nominated Broadway performance at Tony in Sofia. The color Purple in 2015.
