Season 2 started out really slow for me and I almost thought it was going to suck about 2 episodes in.
The first season relied heavily on the book and several things in season 1 actually happened in real life (the famous CrazyEyes piss incident). Season 2 felt contrived to me in some ways and there were definitely moments where I knew they had tried to be witty and it just fell flat.
This season I loved Red, Taystee, Pousay, the trio of older women inmates (their names escape me), and even Vee at times.
I was completely irritated by the whole Larry/Best Friend thing and hope that they get rid of both of them in season 3. I mean, Larry comes off as a schmuck and the best friend was just....I mean, walking around with your tits out in front of your best friend's guy? It just wasn't believable to me. And the way they went to the prison for Piper's blessing? Gross.
I was bothered by the scene of CrazyEyes pouring water on Miss Rosa's food. That scene was especially cruel and it didn't feel like it fit with Crazyeye's personality. I guess they were trying to show the change in her because if her loyalty.
Piper irritated the piss out of me this season.
I hated Big Boo this season (which, I think the writer's intend because her behavior isn't so different from Nicky and most of us LOVE her).
I liked Caputo this season and Laverne Cox's character, Sophia, was spectacular. I'll be glad when they give her an actual story.
The scene with Red getting slocked hurt my feelings.
I LOVED to hate Vee. I initially loved her character and thought her to be a worthy villain but she got down-right evil as the season went on. Her ending was pretty unexpected.
