all right so I just finished binge watching season six of orange is the new
black on Netflix and boy do I have a lot to say about it so this video is gonna
be my review and reaction for the entire season so stay tuned what is up
everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but
focus on the solution so if you are new to my channel I have a mental health
channel my channel is dedicated to helping you with your mental and
emotional well-being all right but something I try to do is I try to pull
from television movies maybe other youtubers because everything can be
something that we could take in and learn from and kind of reflect on and
say okay what can I learn from this how can I improve my mental health so I try
to take relevant you know content out there and try to teach lessons that
might be able to help improve your mental health all right so if that's
something you're into make sure you hit that subscribe button all right anyways
so one of the last Netflix shows that I reviewed was 13 reasons why a lot of you
came to my channel from those reviews so I'm thinking about doing some character
breakdowns but anyways I want to kind of review the whole season I do want to
pluck a specific kind of mental health topic that we see throughout this season
so there will be spoilers so if you haven't seen all the episodes sorry
there's gonna be some spoilers but anyways go check them out we'll come
back or whatever you got to do but if you don't care about spoilers just stay
with me stay with me here so anyways season six picks up where in
the last season we had the prison riot okay the women's prison over at
Litchfield they went on a riot and you know they were keeping the guards
captive and all that kind of stuff in season six they are now at the
maximum-security prison okay it's a lot rougher a lot tougher a lot harder
inmates and things like that kind of the overall topic on what I kept seeing over
and over from all the different characters it's just paying the
consequences for their actions alright so I talked about on my channel a few
times about this internal locus of control
okay this locus of control realizing that the things I do have results okay
and these can be positive or negative and this is something that like we saw
so many struggles from almost all of the characters almost all the characters
that their actions have consequences now I guess you could say that for anybody
who's in prison right your actions have consequences but this is really
interesting because like I've never really seen this in a show and maybe
it's just cuz I don't watch many shows about prison like I didn't watch AHS or
anything but now there's consequences for what they did in prison that's
extending sentences or having more punishment and things like that so a lot
of our characters while feeling justified in their actions for that riot
they're experiencing the consequences and having a lot of regret one of my
favorite quotes of all time is this we make decisions based on self which later
place us in a position to be hurt okay so the way this is something for you to
learn from is when we're motion leaf fueled right whether it's because we're
angry usually it's anger or because of love or whatever it is the actions we
take may hurt us later on in life so the the prison riot you know obviously there
was some unjust stuff going on over at Litchfield there was a death of poussey
back in season four and that triggered a lot of emotions right so in response to
that they had this prison riot right and they also held CEOs captive and made all
these demands and different characters had different reasons for what they were
doing and things like that people like taystee we're trying to make change but
even tasty is seeing the consequences of her actions here right but there are a
few different characters that really had a lot of consequences for their actions
I kind of want to focus on red okay so red she's the mama bear okay she's she's
like the mother to a lot of the inmates there
she's had a lot of interesting story arcs throughout the seasons but what I
really want to look at is her dynamic with Frida
okay so throughout the season we see a lot of people turning on each other
ratting people out some people like Cindy for example aka Tova she she lied
in order to protect herself which then had consequences for her best friend
tasty and things like I said I might do some more character breakdowns but in
the example of red okay so Wade felt very justified in her actions on what
she did all right so piscatella ended up dying and things
like that but anyways so part of what Redd was doing Redd was seeking revenge
okay red was seeking revenge against piscatella red is bald for most of the
season because of what piscatella did alright so there's a certain point where
Frida fleeta she is trying to protect her own butt and she's trying to get
moved to they call it Florida which is the nice kind of life it's for like old
people or trans people you know there's not a lot of violence that goes on in
this Florida block okay but anyways free to did that to save her
own butt and we can also say that Frida is also seeing the consequences of
action she had like thirty years ago because Frida's trying to hide because
she's afraid she's gonna get murdered but anyways as a result of that red gets
ten more years so there's also an interesting kind of conversation about
what family is what real family is and things like that red is very big about
family and in this season red is hurt when is hurt by all these different
people turning their backs on her one of them is Nikki Nikki is somebody who red
helped out a lot but when actually respects what Nikki did because Nikki
came to red and like look I have to tell them what happened I have to be honest
about this and you know as a recovering addict I can understand why Nikki did
that but also Nikki had to do it you know to save her own butt too but red
respected that but Freda red sees Freda as just this lying conniving you know
just terrible person and is now out for revenge again not
learning from our actions okay like something like you guys we're all gonna
screw up we're all gonna mess up we're all gonna make decisions based on
ourselves based on our emotions but we need to like next time we run into that
we gotta say oh wait the last time I acted out of revenge the last time I
acted out of anger these consequences right so once read kind of you know
realizes that these people aren't real family she starts to focus her attention
more on her real family right so she calls her son and her son's like hold on
I'll go get them and Red's like no I just want to talk to you how is
everything you never come see me and doubted that all these things right and
she's like I want you to come visit right so red ends up following in the
wrong crowd right she follows follows Carroll around and becomes friends with
Carroll and Carroll has her own little feud going on but Carroll really fuels
Reds idea of revenge and red you know she wants Frieda dead - right like this
revenge in her mind she wants free to dead so like it's crazy to me and this
is one of the most heartbreaking things to me so Webb gets a surprise visit she
gets some surprise visitors it's her son and her grand baby that she's never met
in her entire life and she's going to see her son and her grandbaby and focus
on the real family this is the thing that she wants but as she's walking down
the hallway she encounters Frida and because red cannot control her emotions
because red wass revenge so bad red goes and attacks Frida she attacks Frida
starts strangling her and yelling at Frida right and guess what happens red
gets dragged off she doesn't get to see her son she doesn't get to see her baby
or her grandbaby rather right and then red goes to solitary confinement all
right and like man I'm just like I get that I've been there those of you who
haven't known me for over six years some of you haven't even known me that long I
used to be such an angry and spiteful person but because of my anger because
of my revenge filled thoughts I kept getting myself in more trouble and
because of this I was hurting myself as well as the people around me I did
realize that because I was driven so much by my emotions by my anger by my
revenge I was making things worse but the problem was I was delusional because
I kept blaming the rest of the world this is why I keep talking you about
that internal locus of control like in Red's mind it's not her fault that she
wasn't able to see her son and grandbaby it's not her fault that now her son and
family isn't gonna want to come visit her again Red's gonna think that that's
not her fault it's Frida's fault right and until we
start taking responsibility for our actions nothing gets better nothing gets
better and this is something that we keep saying throughout this season with
different characters some characters learn from this some characters didn't
you know what I mean but I really want you to take from this and ask yourself
is your anger is your revenge attitude is being rude to people are these things
beneficial to you or are they not beneficial to you because if they're not
you really need to audit your life and check in with yourself be like man these
are some things I need to work on because all they do is make matters
worse all right but anyways that's what I want to talk about with season six it
was a great show it was a great season like I love I love this show I love this
show so much something I do love I love that it's kind of evolved away from
Piper and we get more focus on other characters and stuff like that I love
that throughout all the seasons I loved seeing different backstories here's
something I'll mention here's something I mentioned before I let you go to like
one thing I love about this show is it increases empathy right so as a drug
addict and alcoholic in recovery I've met thousands and thousands of people
who are drug addicts and alcoholics and like there's so many judgments against
drug addicts and alcoholics and people don't know their past what I love about
this show is there's a stigma about people in prison and who are locked up
and like we get to see their backstories and see what happened what happened in
their life that turned them into the person that they are today and I think
you know even though it's a fictional show obviously we really get to
empathize with that and I think that's so important like we got to learn like
everybody has a different story and once we sit down and actually listen
understand what happened to these people we start to empathize a little bit in
life man like this person had a really messed-up childhood or their abusive
relationship well it's not an excuse we start to understand what can lead to
that I think that's important especially as a parent like I see these things I'm
like man especially for my old childhood my man I got to be a better parent to my
kid all right anyways here's what I want you all to do okay if you're a fan of
orange is the new black I want you to leave comments down below who would you
like me to do character breakdowns of or different storylines and things like
that what would you like to see because I already have a bunch I got them
written down on my phone so like one of them I'm like 99.9% sure that I'm gonna
make is seal McCullough she is one of the CEOs who was held hostage and she
has PTSD this PTSD is leading to self harming behavior is leading to substance
abuse so I do want to talk about that now once I think a really good video
that I want to do next one is daya Dyer develop some addiction in that I want to
talk about that I don't think it's entirely realistic even though it kind
of is but there's some things I want to talk about with that Ruiz this is
another one that I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make a video on Ruiz's path
towards redemption trying to redeem herself and things like that
trying to find spirituality or religion whatever you want to call it I want to
talk about that some other ideas I have Cindy Cindy's lies for tasty even lying
by omission with relationships I think some relationships that might be
interesting to talk about is the dynamic between Piper and Alex or some toxic
things there and stuff but really pennsatucky and doggy oh that's a good
one to talk about the other idea I have is man the feud between Barbara and
Carole like oh girl I could do a whole video about that anyways those are some
of the topics that I'm just kind of tossing around but for any of you who
have watched season six leave comments down below let me know what kind of
videos you'd like me to make alright anyway that's all I got for you today if
