I haven't quite finished the first season yet, but honestly, I (somewhat) agree. I like Piper's roommate, the scary ex housecleaner lady, and I find ... I think her name is Poussey? super attractive, and the trans character is awesome and hilarious. But for the most part, the most interesting characters to me are the white ones.

Also, apparently Piper gets a lot of hate? I honestly don't (yet) see what's so unlikable about her. I get that the show treads kind of close to classism and entitlement issues, but I don't see how Piper is super entitled or whatever, like I've heard claimed. She seems like she's trying her best to get through, and is well-meaning, if a bit naive. But yeah, not finished with season 1 yet, maybe that changes.

Piper seems to get shit on Tumblr simply because she's white and middle class. She honestly doesn't seem all that entitled and "spoiled", unless we're defining spoiled as "someone who has more than someone else". Naive and oblivious? Definitely. Spoiled and entitled? No.

I wouldn't call Piper my favorite but her story isn't less important than anyone elses.

Yeah, that's how she came across to me. What the heck does she do to be "entitled"? (at least up until where I am in the series, lol. Episode 9, I think?) She's educated, white and middle class, but I don't recall her demanding silk sheets, frappuccinos and vegan smoothies every episode. She seems like she's just trying to get by, and had trouble adjusting (shocking?) but more or less is kind to others and tries not to make a spectacle of herself.

I remember her requesting masks when they were fixing the ceiling and there was dangerous mold in the air or whatever, complaining about prison food as a way to make small talk, and being (understandably) bitch toward her ex-girlfriend and that's it. I don't even know what the entitlement claims are referring to.

In what world is Piper middle class? I definitely don't think she's entitled or deserves the criticisms she tends to garner, but she is at the very least, upper, upper middle class and I would classify her as rich.

Don't she and her husband worry about money? They have to borrow from the guy's parents or something

A lot of people hate Piper because of what the other anon said. I personally find her kind of "meh." And I never liked the Piper/Alex ship so there's that too.

I've been liking her more in the second season than in the first... though her fiance and best friend are still super annoying.

Yeah, I can see how Piper might not be the most interesting character, but I don't find her unlikable at all.

I agree, her best friend is super obnoxious and has very few redeeming moments. I kind of assume her fiancee is in the process of becoming alienated toward her, so far it seems like he's trying to stay connected with her but he's putting less and less effort into it, and equating his experiences to her experiences. I don't hate him yet, but I get the sense their relationship is going to take a dive by the end of this season at least. No spoilers, please :P
