This is the kind of drama we all need to watch

I seriously enjoyed watching Prison Playbook all because the prisoners and the guards were hilarious and really adorable at times. Their friendships and bonds are expressed so well, and the way they support each other all the time was very engaging and fun to watch. Of course, all the bickering and fighting inside the cell was the best. I couldn't get enough of fights that happened between looney and anyone else, his behavior and speech were phenomenal and so lovable, and the way he irritates them and they retaliate is wonderful. All the members of the cell were lovable actually, and each of their characters and background were well written and performed.
I have two points that made me score the drama down, first, all the memories and the romance between the main couple and the second couple was too long and I had to keep skipping through it. Many times it felt like fillers, and I would have much rather watched more interactions of the prisoners and all. Second part is that the prisoners had a great lot of freedom inside the prison, even the guards were very carefree. I am sure it is not ever like that inside prisons of most countries. Yes surely, it is a drama and the special treatment is exaggerated for our baseball player, but many other parts were exaggerated and the officers were so lovely and friendly. As if they are all friends just hanging out. All the other prisoners had like no presence or effect on the general daily atmosphere or behavior of the guards, only when an actual fight or big issue came out.
Not that I am complaining seriously, I enjoyed watching it an awful lot.
