The Story Line...
Orange is the New Black is an American comedy-drama series created by Jenji Kohan that was released on Netflix in July of 2103. The series revolves around Piper Chapman, a young woman engaged to a man, living in New York City, who is sentenced to 15 months in a women's federal prison for transporting a suitcase full of drug money to her former friend who is an international drug smuggler. The offense occurred ten years prior to the start of the series, and in that time Chapman had moved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OrangeIstheNewBlack
Based on a NY Times Best Selling Novel:
Orange Is the New Black: "My Year in a Women's Prison" by Piper Kerman. The book follows the author's incarceration for drug trafficking, during which she gained a unique perspective on the criminal justice system and met a varied community of women living under exceptional circumstances. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/orange-is-the-new-black-piper-kerman/1101999320?ean=9780385523394
How can a series that can only be viewed on Netflix be such an SMASH hit with a cult following?
Why, thanks to SOCIAL MEDIA of course...

Since Orange is the New Black contains mature content and language, I was careful only to post the"Opening Credits" video, which is kinda cool...
And...
The "Bunk Inspection" video which depicts some jail humor.

"Orange is the New Black has been a tremendous success for us. It will end the year as our most watched original series ever and, as with each of our other previously launched originals, enjoys an audience comparable with successful shows on cable and broadcast TV. We have seen sustained social media buzz in the months after its debut and it is also one of the most critically well received TV shows of 2013. Orange is the New Black was not eligible for the Emmys in 2013, but Season 1 will be eligible next year and we believe the audience for Season 2 will grow substantially."
Words from a Netflix Shareholder letter published and signed by CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells. http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/orange-is-the-new-black-is-netflixs-most-watched-original-series-ever-likely-thanks-to-you
In closing...
