Actor Brad William Henke sadly passed away way too soon in November `22 and I found out about his passing just right now.

He was not only the one victim of the Ice Truck Killer who survived (as stubborn Toni Tucci), he also acted in the movie “The Trouble With Bliss” as Michael C.Hall´s former high school friend and as Brie Larsons father.

He was in a lot of TV Shows (Orange Is The New Black) and movies (The Stand) and his presence surely will be missed.

I found an old tumblr site with infos from the “The Trouble with Bliss” aka (“East Fifth Bliss”) movie set in New York. Michael wears a wig in this movie because he lost his hair due to his own cancer treatment the months before.

FUCK, this just made me tear up... 😭😭😭😭🥹

Both because I STILL cannot believe Brad William Henke has actually passed away, and secondly, because it just takes me back to a time before my life started falling apart VERY spectacularly, and Henry Zaga's version of Nick Andros fucking stole my heart... 😭😭😭😭😭😭

What are we looking at?

Orange is The New Black: Seasons 4-7 Review. (Mild spoilers ahead if you haven't seen).

The prison industrial complex is fucked.

In 2023, I began watching for the first time Orange Is The New Black. One of Netflix's titans of programming, one of their first original shows to put them on the map, flew under my radar throughout its run. The first season aired when I was 12, and by the time it finished in 2019, I was more preoccupied with finishing high school than seeing their take on women in prison. But after starting it a few months back and finishing weeks ago, I can say it is a soul-crushingly good program.

Orange Is The New Black masquerades itself as a show that focuses on Piper Niven, a 31-year-old arrested for drug smuggling when in reality, its vision expands to a diverse cast of inmates, convicts, and correctional officers and examines how society treats incarcerated felons. The first season lays the gauntlet down by introducing not only Piper but other prisoners and guards who hold down the show for multiple seasons and even until its final season, for some. The second season introduces an antagonist that doesn't thrill me so much but does provide depth into issues plaguing characters who are becoming favorites at this point, like Taystee and Poussey. The third season continues to juggle multiple narratives with its massive cast to most success. The first three seasons are great, but I want to emphasize seasons 4-7 in this review as they were watched this year.

In season 4, the fictional prison of Litchfield receives an overabundance of new inmates, and new COs overcrowd the prison and overwhelm the current batch of inmates. Season 4 is notable for quite a few things. It introduces Judy King, a celebrity played by Blair Brown, whose charm and charisma helped elevate her to be one of my personal favorite supporting characters for that season. Alison, played by Amanda Stephen, becomes inmate Cindy's new roommate, and as her dynamic with Cindy grows from rivals to those getting along, she soon becomes a likable character. And finally, Brad William Henke, playing the new CO Piscatella, who I could not fucking STAND. Rest in peace to Henke, who did a superb job playing one of the most infuriating COs throughout the show and being a memorable foil to all the women in the facility. Season 4 was great as it heightened the tensions the prisoners harbored about their living conditions.

Season 5 was the culmination of heated tensions as after the death of a beloved character due to negligence from one of the younger COs, the prisoners overthrow the prison and run the asylum for the duration of the season. My only gripe with season 5 is that throughout the 13 episodes, we, the audience, are made to believe that everything that takes place happens within three days. To suspend my disbelief and believe that is too farfetched as the stories and events happening throughout are too abundant. If it was at least a week, it would be more believable. However, I believe season 5 to be my favorite of the seasons as it was the most gripping. As the prisoners hold the COs and the warden hostage, demanding to the media that they want justice for the murder of their fellow inmates and better conditions within the prison, I believe nearly every character played their roles to stunning results. Piper, who had been known for the past few seasons at this point for stepping in and wanting to help, takes an intriguing step back from the focus this season. Her story revolves around taking the time to relish the chaos before the status quo is reinforced by her on-again-off-again girlfriend, Alex Vause, played by Laura Prepon. Other characters follow suit by lounging and sleeping outside or barricading themselves in a commissary with snacks. Taystee and a small group of her trusted compatriots spearhead the initiative for change while a sizable amount of other inmates antagonize the CO hostages or cause their own brand of unique chaos. I love the show's expansive, diverse cast, and many of them were given memorable moments and demonstrated how human they all were, regardless of their reasoning for being incarcerated.

Season 6 was a slight step back.

The sixth season took a chunk of the prisoners we got to know after all these seasons and dropped them into a new prison after the riot settled. Favorites that we grew accustomed to were not seen again until either small parts in season 7 or the final episode entirely in small moments. These characters were missed, and their absence was felt wholeheartedly. In place of their absence, more characters were introduced to this new prison. The new COs were shown to be just as morally corrupt as the old ones, but the new prisoners introduced were so…uninspired. As Piper and the girls grow accustomed to their new quarters, they are dropped into the middle of a war between the prisoners of C Block and D Block. The rivalry stems decades ago from two sisters, who each run their blocks with everyone falling in line and following one of them.

They suck. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. They show the backstory of how the rivalry started. It's dumb, and not engaging, and the beef and every minute of this season dedicated to this storyline is forgettable. There's a character named Daddy who is essentially one of the sister's second-in-command, and she's just as forgettable as the sisters. Finally, there's Madison, called Badison by others, and she's more memorable than her other antagonistic counterparts, ironically, as she succeeds in being unlikable but fails at being compelling. She's notable for being rude to others and having a bad Boston accent. When the series is not focused on any of those four characters, then the sixth season is decent. Unfortunately, it's the major story driving that season, so it's definitively at the bottom of my seasons if we ranked them.

Luckily, season seven picks up as the sisters end up killing one another by the final episode of season 6, while Daddy also perishes, and Badison gets transferred to another prison early into season 7. The seventh season is arguably the most depressing, but has its moments of hope and optimism with certain prisoners finding freedom literally or in a spiritual sense. The final episode is such a mixed bag where the bad guys essentially get away scot-free from their terrible moments, but some others find freedom from the shackles that tied them down for so long.

From start to end, Orange Is The New Black offers a meditation for the viewer. Rethink how we look at the prison industrial complex. For seven seasons, these women are shown brutalized, beaten, and destroyed until the husks of their former shells, or dead. There are women who don't even deserve the treatment given but are punished nonetheless because the system in place is flawed. This was one of the toughest shows I've watched in my lifetime for how crushing it could be, and yet it was also liberating. 4/5. A great show that deserves to be watched if you haven't already.

Predictors are saying that book stores are making a comeback and that mocktails will be big in 2023.

Brad William Henke, passed away at age 56

Brad William Henke, passed away at age 56

The “Orange is the New Black” star passed away this week. Brad William Henke, a former football player and well known actor, passed away Tuesday November 29, 2022, peaceably in his sleep, according to Fox News Digital. He was 56 year old. Far too young as far as I am concerned. I was honored to have had a moment with Henke on the street in Buffalo in the summer of 2017, after our film shoot in…
