Binge Skin: Orange is the New Black – Season 1

After the previous binge skin post for Orange is the New Black’s second season, it made sense to backtrack and cover the very first season of Netflix’s dark comedy that follows lead character Piper Chapman, who is incarcerated and taken by surprise by the colorful, off-beat people she encounters in prison. As with Season 2, series regular Jason Biggs got one shirtless scene. Matt McGorry’s great bod also got some major screentime, as did guest star Devin Harjes. The show’s only male nude scene of the season came courtesy of Pablo Schreiber, who bares his butt as his character’s sexual romp is interrupted.
