This is a documentary series about the legal marijuana business in Humboldt County, California (the main producer in the United States). Throughout six episodes, we follow the investigation about Garret Rodrguez, who was attracted by the idea of starting a new life there and disappeared. Unfortunately, this fact is commonplace here. Through this investigation, we will learn how Humboldt, with hundreds of hectares of forest in remote California, ended up becoming the largest paradise of cannabis cultivation in the US. What began as a small free and self-sufficient hippie community was transformed by greed into a kind of almost ungovernable Comanche territory in which no one is willing to relinquish such a lucrative business. Directed by Joshua Zeman, the series sometimes suffers from lack of pace, but what it tells us is so interesting and some of the testimonies are of so impactful that it is worth viewing.
This 2017 documentary by Peter Spirer reflects on the increasingly close decriminalisation of marijuana. The film explores the impact and influence of cannabis on art and culture, medicine and cooking, among other fields. Without addressing the debate in depth, it does raise the controversy about a soft, increasingly tolerated drug and its flourishing industry in a simple and entertaining way.
This fictional series, now in its seventh season, kicks off with a very original approach: after suddenly becoming a widow, a middle-class mother starts growing and selling marijuana to make ends meet. Having received many awards (Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series in 2006, 2007 and 2009, and the Emmy for Best Series in 2009 among others) this series is a television classic that features a social satire with touches of acidic humour from a novel point of view. Its freshness is appreciated.

The opening scene for Orange Is the New Black is pretty attention-grabbing to say the least, but it's the raw emotion, gut-punching performances and laugh-out-loud humor of this new Netflix series that will keep you superglued to your seat for all 13 episodes.
Netflix has just released the entire first season, from Weeds creator Jenji Kohan (and based on a memoir from Piper Kerman) about a sweet, blond, girl next door (Taylor Schilling) who gets sentenced to prison, thanks to her former lesbian lover/drug smuggler (Prepon) selling her out. And here are seven reasons you should stream all episodes right now:
1. It's Sort of Like Weeds 2.0. but, Dare We Say, Better? Like Kohan's previous Showtime hit starring Mary-Louise Parker, Orange centers on a deeply relatable girl next door who gets catapulted into a world surrounded by criminals. And? "They're both hot," Kohan points out. "What attracts me is how they walked that line and the push-pull between those sides of them," Kohan says of Weeds and Orange's leading ladies. "The side to be the good girl and the part of them that wants to be the rebel and feel that excitement and escape their stereotype."
2. Taylor Schilling Is All Kinds of Awesome: As Piper, a "former lesbian" who once carried a single bag of drugs for her lover (Prepon), Schilling is grippingly real and relatable. So how would the 28-year-old actress fare in real life in a real prison? "I think I would probably be eaten alive," Schilling quips, adding that she was a big fan of Jenji Kohan's past work and "was willing to do anything to be a part of [Orange]."
3. Jason Biggs Gives Good Cry: Who knew the dude has such emotional depth? Biggs stars as the fianc of the show's main character, Piper (Shilling), and their relationship is so simultaneously charming and tortured, you'll find yourself laugh-crying at least once during the first episode. The beach proposal scene and the goodbye at the prison? All. The. Tears.
5. Amazing One-Liners: Like Piper's fianc's parting words to her: "Please be brave. Don't let anyone into your granny panties." Or his words when he found out her crime: "I feel like I'm in a Borne movie. Have you killed?" These moments of dark humor bring levity to what could otherwise by a wholly depressing show, based on the premise. Ditto the awesome cultural references to things like Toddlers and Tiaras and Taylor Swift.
This past summer, millions of fans said goodbye to one of the most popular shows in Netflix history. Orange is the New Black wrapped up its seven-season run of 91 episodes on July 25, 2019. Those who loved the series were sad to see it go and were left with a void to fill. What could they possibly watch next?
Thankfully, we're currently in what many consider to be the "Golden Age" of television. There is no shortage of great shows out there that can become a new favorite now that Orange is the New Black has finished.
Updated on May 26th, by Matthew Wilkinson: While it has now been almost a year since this fantastic prison based series came to an end, Orange is the New Black has still remained popular. However, with so many other shows now available to people, there is tons of content that is around for fans of this series to pick up on.
While they might not be exactly the same, there are subtle similarities from personalities to the content itself that will have fans of this show having their needs fulfilled. We've picked out the 15 shows we think would work best based on the things that made Orange is the New Black so popular.
When Orange is the New Black first started, it seemed like a show mostly centered around Piper Chapman. As it progressed, the scope became wider and the diverse inmates were all given more character depth to make this into an ensemble piece. Showtime's hit Shameless is also about a big group of flawed people.
To be fair, Shameless has a much less diversified cast than OITNB, with the focus primarily being on a mostly Caucasian family. However, what makes this similar to the Netflix prison show is how the people involved get into criminal activities and must deal with the consequences of their sometimes terrible actions. It is the kind of gripping entertaining OITNB fans love.
While the tone and characters of Hollywood couldn't be further from those inside Litchfield, there are many similarities in both shows. Even though there aren't as many troubled characters with criminal pasts, instead focusing on the glitz and glamour of old-school Hollywood, it touches on many similar topics.
Hollywood focuses heavily on difficulties surrounding race, gender equality, and homophobia, which are all subjects that OITNB focuses on heavily. So while the worlds are very different, it tackles the same subjects in a slightly different way.
OITNB is far from the only Netflix original series with powerful females leading the charge. There is no stronger woman on the streaming juggernaut than the lead on Jessica Jones. Jessica is an enhanced human with powers including super strength, super speed, and more.
Part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jessica Jones ran for three seasons on Netflix. Led by a masterful performance from Krysten Ritter, this wasn't your typical superhero show. There was a darkness to Jessica and it dealt with serious themes like alcoholism, rape, and drug addiction.
Much like OITNB, Arrested Development is a comedy that brings together a lot of different characters with varying personalities. While there isn't quite as much focus on true emotional drama in this show, there are still moral lessons to be learned and there is a real connection between audience and character.
The show focuses on one family, of which several end up in jail throughout the series due to mistakes that they made. While it's a little more comedic than OITNB, its humor and delightfully offbeat characters will still entertain fans in a similar way.
Piper Chapman ended up in Litchfield Prison for the role she played in a crime ring that got busted. It took something as simple as that to set a long-running series in motion. Now imagine if the show began before she got incarcerated. That's kind of the case with another Netflix series, Ozark.
Ozark tells the story of Marry Byrde, a financial planner who gets caught up in the world of money laundering. He's way out of his league and that makes the show exciting. Byrde spends the series with both the police and drug lords hot on his heels. Jason Bateman and Julia Garner both took home Emmy Awards in 2019 for their stellar work.
Don't be put off by the Breaking Bad links for this show, as this is actually a prequel to the hit series and therefore anyone who hasn't seen Breaking Bad will be absolutely fine to just jump into this one. Much like OITNB, this series focuses on a character who breaks the law, but attempts to do good in the end.
Saul Goodman tries to be a good lawyer and play it by the rules, but can't help breaking them to gain success and money. The vast majority of Litchfield's inmates aren't bad people either, but do things for others that land them in jail. The humor in this show is also fantastic, and that is something OITNB fans will appreciate.
