Orange is the New Black aired its third season on June 12 exclusively on Netflix, but the show was released hours earlier “for good behaviour.” OITNB is set in Litchfield Prison and follows the trials and challenges of Piper Chapman, a white middle-class young woman who committed one drug offence several years ago with her former lover Alex Vause. She is reunited with Vause in prison which eventually ends her relationship with fiancé Larry Bloom.
