How do we as a society, tackle contemporary issues about sex and race?
Orange is the new black tackles this perfectly, and challenged the tags attached to women and not just women in general, blonde women, black women, Russian and more. In this episode, the title comes from a moment in one of the narrative flashbacks of Red, and she 'tit punches' a stereotypical Russian housewife and deflates her breast. It challenged the ideology of 'fake' Russian women with their plastic surgery their rich husbands pay for.
There is a lot of focus on Red, as the fairly weak storyline from the first episode consisting of her starving Chatman is continued. As a viewer, I felt that this storyline should have ended last episode, as it is something where the resolution could be sped up. I feel that there is no enigma so it shouldn't have gone on for this long.
Overall I would give this 6/10, because I like how it turns modern day societies issues into comedy and makes people talk about them. I also like how it is a majority female cast, challenging yet another stereotype associated with prison dramas.
