Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Orange Is The New Black (Netflix, 12 a.m., Friday): Cancel your weekend plans, stock up on provisions, and prepare to binge watch Orange Is The New Black. The entire second season of this women’s prison dramedy hits Netflix Friday at midnight. Truly devoted fans should be able to finish all 13 episodes by Saturday afternoon. We’ll have a review of the entire season up shortly there after, while brave soul Myles McNutt will be taking the slow path and watching the show two episodes at a time. His review of the first two episodes goes live Friday with new reviews every Tuesday starting June 10.
ALSO NOTED
Orphan Black (BBC America, 9 p.m., Saturday): This entry in Orphan Black’s phenomenal second season promises a “new player” and lots of Felix. Caroline Framke is going to have to paint this to come to terms with it.
ELSEWHERE IN TV CLUB
Our AVQ&A asks: “What premise do you wish was explored by someone else?” Aaron Sorkin and Star Trek pop up on the list. We also have 11 Questions for former SNL cast member and busy TV guest star Jenny Slate. And over on her column Cameron Esposito shares how Amy Poehler has impacted her career—even though they don’t know each other.
TV CLUB CLASSIC
Blackadder (3 p.m., Friday): After a hugely popular Roundtable on Blackadder, Kate Kulzick had a “cunning plan” to cover this British historical sitcom for TV Club Classic. She’ll follow the show through the Elizabethan era, the Regency period, and World War One. But first, her coverage kicks off with the Medieval-set first series.
