Sensei Says...

You should be watching...

Orange is the New Black

The true story of Piper, a young woman sent to jail after being ratted our by an ex for a crime that took place a decade before. Not only is this show made from real happenings but it is dramatic, funny, and even a bit romantic. It is every thing a TV show should be rolled into one. Piper is the main character but all of the other characters are far from being in the background. They are just as much a part of the story line as she is and each person is different. The only downside is that this show airs on Netflix. However if you can find someone with an account you'll be in the money!

Starring: Taylor Schlling, Jason Biggs, Laura Prepon, Natasha Lyonne, and Taryn Manning. 

Running Time: 60 min
