Orange is the New Black- It was announced yesterday that OITNB was already renewed for a third season. Season Two doesn't even air for another month. This definitely bodes well for the show as a whole, as the higher-ops at Netflix believe the show can bring them continued success. If you haven't seen it yet, the show is about a privileged woman named Piper who had an idyllic life until her past incident of drug running finally catches up to her and she gets sentenced to 17 months in a Federal prison. It hilariously goes through all of the craziness at this person as she adjusts to life on 'the inside', while also dealing with the ex-lover that got her into the mess in the first place. With strong characters like Taystee, Red, and Crazy Eyes, the show is a for sure must see.
24 Live Another Day- In other TV news the beloved show finally returned last night to high critical claim from fans and critics alike. I have never seen more people hyped and excited for protagonist Jack Bauer's return to the silver screen. I think the show is only going to be a limited series, that is, after 12 episodes (all 2 hours each) then it will end again. But I do think if the show gets strong ratings, it could come back full time, or at least maybe show up on Netflix or something. This show is definitely on my Must Watch list (along with the Sopranos and The Wire), so I will try to watch the show for the first time, since I was able to avoid spoilers.
Playoffs- Right now the NBA Playoffs are happening, which is exciting as there have been many rounds that came down to Game 7 (due to a 3-3 result from Games 1-6). When I was younger I was more into the NBA and I have since moved over to enjoying NCAA College Basketball a bit more, but I do enjoy the hype of the Playoffs. One of the cooler things has been seeing previously terrible teams like the Washington Wizards prove their worth. Also it is interesting to note that if the Wizards make it to Game 6, it would be a home game for them at the Verizon Center. This normally would be fine but Lady Gaga's concert is also set to be that same day so this will be interesting to see how everything will work out (or not).
NFL Draft- The upcoming Draft is always exciting as we get to see where college prospects end up and also predict how they will fare. Obviosuly the pundits don't always get it right as it takes around 5 years to truly measure someones impact in the league. This year's class has a lot of hype with Johnny Manziel and AJ McCarron, so it will be interesting to see what teams everyone ends up, how the teams wheel and deal for trades and what surprise there will surely be. The best part is when they show the players excitement when they get the call for the first time.
