My latest love affair is with Orange is the New Black. If you have not heard about it - where have you been - it's about a girl who goes to prison for a crime she committed when she was younger. Her backstory and the stories of her inmates are told through flash-backs. The lead, Piper is pretty great but it's the other characters that really give the show life.
If the constant interweb buzz and my awesome recommendation is still not convincing, here are some great bits from the show. These won't give away much so you can read without worrying about massive spoilers.
Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!
