"Orange is the New Black" fans - who is your favorite character for season #2 spoilers

Hands down it's Uzo Aduba who plays Suzanne "Crazy Eye" Warren.

She was amazing to watch and was a great part of the Vee Faily storyline, especially in the end when she was setup by Vee.

Aduba is a talented actress who has shown some of the nuances of being mentally challenged in an institution. Hopefully next awards season she'll see some award nominations - she deserves them.

I'm going to have to vote for Rosa. Although Morello comes a close second.

I really like the character back stories and Rosa's history as bankrobber is quite interesting. The look on her face while driving is priceless.

I also liked the back stories for Poussey and Gloria and Morello and Taystee too.

and most were given backstories.

I knew something was up with Morello's wedding planning and we never saw Christopher. So it was great to see her backstory and how she was really a stalker and there never was a 'Lorna and Christopher', just one date that went horrible wrong for Christopher.

Rosa was great too and it really worked out well in the end when she got her freedom and she used it to deal with Vee.

Well written - I think season #2 of OITNB was much better than Season #2 of House of Cards (but HoC was still a great season).

Netflix is doing great things with original programming!!!!

She stated that networks wouldn't take a prison show unless it revolved around pretty blonde Piper. The other characters and stories were slipped in after she got approval to proceed.

I noticed she included a lot more nudity the second season. Not sure what's up with that.

I liked House of Cards Season 2 too but agree that Orange season 2 is much better. I enjoyed Lilyhammer and Arrested Development as well.
