March is Women's History Month, and as such I've decided to revisit one of the best Netflix shows to binge watch: Orange is the New Black. Jenji Kohan's prison dramedy (which is available with a Netflix subscription) was one of the first hit shows on the streamer, putting it on the map alongside House of Cards. While it was a game changer for the TV industry as a whole, it's upsetting to hear how poorly the cast was compensated.
The Orange is the New Black cast became household names thanks to the show's wild popularity, but unfortunately, that did't necessarily translate into a big paycheck. This is seemingly because streaming was an experiment in its early days, but I think that with the popularity of the show and the level of fame that the cast was dealing with during its run, they deserved to be paid better.
