With the exception of Taystee's somewhat compelling story arc, the rest of this once great show has devolved even further into an endless, over-the-top, preachy, waste of time. But I will admit it was humorous the way they made fun of Piper's goofy imbecile of a new-age sister-in-law and her "goddess huntress" buddies (though it was nice to see Alicia Witt again).

While I usually hesitate to defend males and male behavior in real life, why is it ALL the men on this show, EVERY ONE, (especially ICE agents and prison guards) are over-the-top, hateful, abusive neanderthals with absolutely no redeeming qualities? Plus, all the men are beyond-belief stupid, especially Caputo, even though he is the only male character who is passed off as caring and understanding. And what's with the preponderance of men with shaved heads, all of whom are dumb losers? Is the message that ALL masculinity is toxic? Such effed up BS.

As for Piper, once the main focus of the show, she has far outlived any level of interest. Prison definitely ruined this character as a fictional human being. She is even more self-absorbed (as if that were possible), she is excessively whiny, she has huge, distracting brown roots, she throws temper tantrums, and she no longer seems to have a brain. She reacts with excessive emotion to everything.

And then there's Aleida, who should have been gone long ago. This idiot character lost it yet again and is now back in prison, creating problems for her ridiculous daughter, Daya, and her even dumber boyfriend, Hopper, the baldheaded lead prison guard, who is now living with only her children and hoping not to go to prison for having a relationship with an inmate. The characters on this show are just TOO STUPID to be believable.
