I'm actually glad they didn't OITNB with this though, cause it could get long and boring. Backstories are great and I'm sure there will be more as the show goes on but, not to those dry OITNB levels of backstory.


I think they balanced the Debbie/Ruth thing well like Maron's character said: "The money is in the chase." I'm sure we'll get more of that dynamic, but I think it's cut and dry on where those two are. Debbie ain't ready to be friends with Ruth again and Ruth understands that and at the same time, she's still is searching to find out who she is.

I feel this show is way better than OITNB. Hopefully, it won't run into the pitfalls that Kohan's other shows have.
