Dropping an entire season of an hour-long dramedy onto Netflix puts viewers in an interesting predicament. Fail to watch it all at once and you run the risk of spoilers (which were on Twitter almost instantly). But a binge session can monopolize an otherwise lovely weekend, not to mention that you run the risk of not being able to process the subtleties of each episode when you turn viewing into a cram session. Last summer I became a zombie when I’d stay up through the night to finish the first season of Orange Is the New Black; when I recently rewatched it, I realized how much I missed. So this time around I’m taking it slow to better enjoy and reflect on every moment of season two—alright, well, I watched six straight hours, so I guess you could say I’m taking it slower.

Overall, though, I’m glad these ladies are back, and I can’t wait to take my time through the second half of this season to see where they go from here.
