Much, but much better than OITNB! Great acting, great plot. Go for it without hesitation.
Prejuzgué y pensé que era una copia de OITNB. La serie es excelente! Altamente recomendable!
Such a great show. I was a little unhappy with how when they moved prisons between the second and third season they completely dropped some of the characters with no further mention (including the main character, who had a quite frankly ridiculous return towards the end of the show, which I don't think is really a spoiler as it was quite apparent it was going to happen). But overall it didn't really ruin the latter half for me. People need to stop comparing this to Orange is the New Black as that was intended to be more lighthearted and comedic. A more obvious comparison would be to Wentworth which I will say is a bit more cohesive and takes the necessary time to build its characters. For example, in both these shows, a character struggles with Alzheimer's. Despite being a monumental event in both shows, it is only mentioned in this one over the course of a few episodes whereas it lasts nearly two seasons in Wentworth and we really feel the disease's progression as it becomes a major plot point and starts having an effect on all the afflicted character's friends. What this show lacks in fleshing out its characters though it makes up for in action. Having a parallel arc taking place outside the prison was a refreshing break from some of the lesbian drama that got a little old at times.
I absolutely binge watched this show now I'm ready to watch season 3&4 and can't find them here :/ my Spanish is a bit Rusty so I watched with subtitles then drove my kids nuts speaking to them in Spanish haha
In the first season of 11 episodes instead of 16
I believe it does not deserve this rate. It failed my expectations. So repetitive and many loopholes.
I missed Macarena on season 3 she and Zulema are the best. I love this show.
I guess it's not cancelled anymore because Netflix just released Season 5
Why don’t have the 5th season???
The 5th season is separate:

Beautiful series. My only problem with it is the portrayal of the supposed Arabs in the show: Zeuleyma doesn't speak Arabic at all; I don't even have the slightest idea about her name, the "Egyptian" speaks with a mix of Algerian/Moroccan accent and a formal Arabic no criminal uses let alone regular, everyday people. Halfway through, they seem to portray a weird left-hand cutting punishment for "betrayal" between criminals as a capital punishment in "Sunni Islam" which is completely, stupidly, badly researched and glued together.
This series is absolutely incredible! It's so captivating, so prepare to be consumed! I watched with sub-titles and it didn't affect my viewing experience at all. The lead is flawless! She may be the most beautiful female I've seen and listening to her speak Spanish is poetic at times.
This is way better than Orange is the new black and Wentworth! it has the perfect tone and is filled with the best villains and characters you'll care for.
watch this series immediately, you'll thank me or perhaps curse me in your lack of sleep because you have to watch one more.
both seasons are available on Amazon right now.

Could have been a great series! But there have been so many Lesbian relationships that it's very disturbing! I have to skip these places. And finally I quit at 2.7 seasons. I feel sick. Don't mess up arrays like that.
