| why is this getting such low ratings
In my opinion this show is fun. Its made by the same chick as who did weeds. OK if your looking for a realistic show about prison life then watch msnbc lockdown. But if you want a fun little time waster with quirky interesting characters this is a good show. When not at work all I ever do is watch TV and movies so I see a lot of shows and movies and trust me this one isn't bad at all. It's about a white collar chick who gets sent to jail. And the characters she meets. They all get little flashbacks of background story so you get to know them and to get you a little insight on to why each one acts the way they are. Give it a shot. You may end up loving it.

Trivia

The only show in TV history to receive Emmy nominations for Best Comedy Series (in 2014) and Best Drama Series (in 2015). This was due to a change in Emmy rules stating that all shows running longer than 30 minutes per episode are classified as dramas. Shows longer than 30 minutes per episode that considering themselves as comedy can appeal the classification. This show lost the appeal in 2015 and remained in the Emmy race as a drama.

Goofs

The timeline of the show often changes; the first season indicates being set in 2010 (upon entering prison, Piper begs Larry to not watch the latest Mad Men (2007) without her, and Larry is shown the latest episode from season 4, which originally aired in 2010). However, season 5 references the San Bernarndino shootings, which occurred in 2015. This cannot be possible as Piper's prison sentence was for 15 months and only about a year has passed in those five seasons.
