finished s3 last night. I don't remember too much about S1 but I think I liked S2 better than this one. But this was still pretty good

It didn't really have a driving storyline like S2 did with Vee vs. Red, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it was pretty different. Besides Caputo's story (and maybe Alex's) it kinda just felt like an amalgamation of side storylines thrown together. I think it really did prove that the show could go on indefinitely if they wanted it to though
Suzanne's novel and Big Boo/Pennsatucky were fun. Although I do feel like they made Pennsatucky go a bit out of character to make it more realistic that Boo would actually hang out with her
Favorite moments off the top of my head: Nicky being dragged off (not because I was happy about it obv), Poussey/Brook floating in the lake together, Norma's whole episode
WHAT HAPPENED TO BENNETT! Is that really how he's gonna leave the show? I was 100% convinced that he'd return by the finale and it'd all be a misunderstanding
This season made me hate Caputo and Red slightly less, and it made me hate Piper way, way more. Couldn't the Australian chick just snitch about the pantie business now? She's got nothing to lose now, would be a pretty quick and easy form of revenge
The Alex cliffhanger was the dumbest thing. Do they really expect anyone to believe she's dead? That was very soap opera-ish
Not enough Nicky this season. I hope she isn't gone for good!
I am glad they didn't go the same route as last season and introduce another main villain. Whilst it was great last time around, it's a format which can get old quickly. Plus, nobody was going to top Vee. Season 3 was lighter, though it had its moments.
I hate Piper less than I did at the beginning of this season. her framing Stella for all that Contraband earned her some mad respect, yo. I felt so bad for Brooke, and I could see her attempted suicide miles away. She plays her character well. Pensatuckey is growing on me. Her story arc was interesting to follow and I'm glad she doesn't have to be around that prick all the time. Sophia's story arc killed me. So sad!
This season was a lot more memorable compared to the last 2.
OITNB will have 3 more seasons. I hope the story lines get better with season 4 or I'll be losing interest quickly. Seasons 1 and 2, I couldn't wait to start the next episode, midway through Season 3, it was easy for me to not watch one for a couple of nights.

Season 3 felt like Season 2.5 like it was a bridge to the real Season 3.
VERY INTENSE VERY REAL VERY BIG SPOILERS FOR 4x12-13

I'm so upset about Poussey. I honestly do not know if I can do season 5 after this. I also don't like that it was Bayley. We're supposed to sympathize with Bayley. He's a good person. That doesn't help their story that this is about police brutality...
