The sneaky folks over at Netflix, proving once again that they are benevolent yet all-powerful puppet-masters who can make the world shut down on command, decided to release the complete third season of “Orange is the New Black” a day early. As expected, everyone promptly freaked out / canceled all their plans / stayed up all night / severed themselves from all their loved ones and all their worldly posessions in the name of one singular cause: bingewatching.

First off, everyone freaked out:
