Imagine going to prison for a one-time crime you committed 10 years ago under the influence of your ex-girlfriend. You have moved on since then, have found new love, and haven't committed such a crime since. Then, your first few days behind bars you're struggling to grasp the inmate lifestyle and have already made what seem like reputation-ruining mistakes. As you're about to go into a full-blown panic attack, you realize that your ex is a fellow prisoner. Welcome to Piper Chapman's life. The first episode sets the tone for the series, and it's done in such a brilliant way that it's no wonder we couldn't watch the rest fast enough.
