  • SPOILER ALERT!
    Fan favourite Poussey Washington, played by Samira Wiley, is suffocated by a prison guard - one of "the good ones" - during a peaceful protest. The Juilliard-trained actor learned of the distressing, ethically thorny scene long before her cast mates. For nearly a year, she quietly contemplated the end of her character's narrative arc, and the significance of killing the show's "moral compass."

    Poussey represented countless young people of color who are fundamentally good human beings with bright futures, but are thrown into the heinous system we call "Corrections" for years, for pissant, petty drug offenses. And many of them *don't* survive it. I think that's why her character was chosen for that fate. And I hope that's a big part of the conversation happening now. Whether or not most of the fans will see beyond a simple reaction of, "I loved her! This show sucks now! Waaaaah!" to grasp the bigger, real-life picture remains to be seen. But I absolutely get why they did it. As a fan of the show, it broke my heart! But it's reality.

      They gave her a beautiful send off. And the episode when she actually dies was the only one in the show's history that ended in a blackout and didn't do the orange screen. That might be a little thing but it made me die inside. OMG 😭😭

    I love that the writers made us grow to love Poussey for 4 seasons and suddenly throw her away at the hands of a CO. It's like they're making us feel like we lost someone we knew and loved similarly to the real life families and friends of the victims of police brutality.

    Poussey was my favorite character since I was greeted with her. I was bawling when she was killed off. Looking into the story and the message behind this I was deeply moved by this. Taking the world of today and put it out there on full blast to a wide audience is something huge and I'm happy that they conveyed the message out through Poussey. Because she was the perfect person to do this with.

  • @minori6215
    @minori6215 8 ปีที่แล้ว +84

    Poussey was my favorite character and I had a huge girl crush on her. Even though the last two episodes made me cry, they were so powerful and are probably my favorites because they built onto her character and shed light on those issues.

    Samira's acting during the death scene was very detailed because it didn't focus on her very much. Other characters got some great acting moments from her death, like CO Bayley, Taystee, Suzanne, Soso.
    But Poussey's flashback scenes with Samira were so joyful and fun and I still tear up just thinking of her great big smile at the end of the episode.

    I don't have ANY sympathy for Bailey. I don't care if he didn't mean it or was one of the "good ones." You see how small Poussey is?! She's a nonviolent offender and had everything going for her. Screw Bailey.

    • @Croxby1
      @Croxby1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      True, however when there is danger to your life (Suzanne), its hard to focus. It was an unfortunate event. Bailey, as well as all the rest of the new guards were untrained, ill equipped, and unprepared for this kind of thing. That was the theme since season 3 when the older guards left. These new ones had no clue how to do their job, because that was the most cost effective way. Bailey IS as much of a victim. He now has to deal with the fact that he killed someone. He was only trying to help, and as we saw in his flashbacks, he truly wanted to treat these women as human beings. He was the only one who didn't want to make their lives horrible every waking moment.

    • @Pinkie582
      @Pinkie582 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      +Croxby1 Realize that you said the threat was Suzanne so why does Poussey end up being the one on the ground with the weight of a grown ass man on top of her? She literally can't be more than 120 lbs. She in no way was a threat to Bailey.

    • @Croxby1
      @Croxby1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      Pinkie582 The threat was Suzanne. Then Poussey came up behind him, and at that point, he doesn't have one prisoner to contend with, but a known violent one, and another unknown one. I'm not saying it was right, or proper, but he was untrained. Just out of highschool. You're not mature enough at that age, with no training to handle those type of situations. He didn't want to hurt anyone, but he sure as hell didn't want to let himself get hurt. He had Poussey pinned, and was trying to deal with that situation, but Suzanne kept attacking him, taking his focus off of Poussey. He thinks Suzanne is being taken care of by another guard, so he starts to deal with Poussey, but Suzanne comes back, hitting him, screaming something that he has no context of. Like i said, he's not the bad guy. If anyone is to blame, its the guards who made Suzanne fight, putting her in that state in the first place.

      I agree, I feel like I should hate Bailey but I can't, it was a clear accident and he was untrained. If I'm going to hate anyone its the guards Humps (Made Suzanne fight) and Piscatella, who turned a peaceful protest into a violent event and told Bailey who clearly didn't have proper experience to take control of Suzanne, when she should have been handled by a stronger guard anyway... I get so mad cause Poussey was just trying to make peace and calm Suzanne down, always a lover not a fighter...

      That's exactly why jenji "killed " pussey. In my opinion p's death was so significant because we got to see her grow inside the prison we loved her so when she died we got to feel how it's like losing a person in such an unfair way. That simple moment impacted all of us, it raised awareness on how black people are treated. I think we all kinda related. I'm so proud of oitnb producers not only because they created such an amazing show, but also because they wanted to leave a mark on society and that is remarkable. #rippussey #blacklivesmatter

    Wow, such a great interview. Interviewer, interviewee, that was impressive. I can't wait to see what Ms. Wiley has in store for us. Helen Mirren said (I'm paraphrasing here) that some characters shape you and scar you into the person you are. You can be proud of Poussey, Ms. Wiley. You created something of beauty, that will inspire powerful change. It will be difficult to let go, but you'll always carry her within you.

And I've held it together up till now, but after wracking sobs for the last hour, I came on youtube for some therapy. Poussey was my favorite, and it made all of those other deaths so real for me. I am gutted. Respect to their families and loved ones.

    The people in the comments sound stupid tbh, if they killed off someone the audience hated the impact after the death wouldn't have been crucial enough to justify the events of the last episode. That episode was the most amazing in OITNB, Poussey's death was supposed to ignite a revolt against the CO's. It works.

    @Croxby1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    She was my absolute favorite character, but i can't wait to see what she does now. I hope she gets all kinds of amazing jobs because of her stint on OITNB. Possibly a good leading role, and hopefully where she gets to play a lesbian. The only reason i say that last part, is because she was able to play her role, without needing to constantly remind everyone that she was into women. It was underplayed, and really no different than a straight relationship. I think the next step is to have a leading role with a gay character, and simply not make a big deal of it. Just allow it to be a normal relationship that also happens to have same sex partners.

    Thank you a real interview acknowledged my grief for poussey. Flew through the series in the first week and was like now when are we going to talk about this!! Favourite character was hopeful for the cop/guard too and this was just heartbreaking! I'm stoked Cbc got this interview and so quick! I've been rejecting that what I saw actually happened too but haven't been left with much to ponder after watching the end of season 4 because they didn't leave much room to stray from Poussey's passing. Even if people stop watching the show there's still so many elements to season 4 that percolates ideas of activism and I want to say civil rights ?which seems difficult to accomplish in films let alone a tv series. I saw so much relativity in the cafeteria scene where there was no one to remove the body. Like mourning people are challenged with accepting death and react differently augh I was furious but that was so powerful how it made me feel this upset like it was affective in that way.

    I hated the "plot twist" of OITNB. It's an excellent show, I don't agree at all with the plot choices for the end of this season. She's one of the best characters on the show, by far. OITNB just got a whole lot less interesting.

    • @JTZFX
      @JTZFX 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I wouldn't say that. I think what keeps it interesting is the changes that characters go through. Take Dogget for example. We started of hating her. Or at least I did, and now we almost feel bad for her, but at the same time proud of her because she's in control now. She's changed so much and made herself better. That's what does it for me. I loved Poussey, by far my favourite character, but I think it's worth a character dying to shine a light on a real life issue as well. Plus, Lolly is in some deep shit, that'll be interesting. Also, MARIA, holy balls because she just grew some. And hey, maybe next season we'll finally get Claudette back, if the actress is feeling well enough.

    As a viewers point of view these last two episodes are the best in the entire show. Any show. Just because of how instant it was and how this entire season she was focusing on her future with soso when she was to get out. It was really amazing how they make Bailey kill of poussey and give us mixed feelings like "I can't believe HE killed her" or "he didn't know what he was doing" it goes to show how powerful television (or in this case Netflix...) can be when it comes to get their point across.

    Honestly, I'm probably not going to watch OITNB anymore because of this. I'm all for statements, but I absolutely hate when shows and movies build up characters and make you love them as much as you possible can and then slaughter them. I wasn't stoked about the series after season three and I wasn't sitting on the edge of my seat for season 4 and this did it for me. How hard would it have been to have one success story in OITNB? To show that a woman, especially a black woman, can get her life back together after doing time. That would've made a statement too. A positive statement. Which is what this world needs more of. They could've used a different character and the statement they made would've been just as impactful and then they could've made a positive statement on top of that but nah, just kill off arguably the most loved character of the series. I'm tired of this shit. I'm so fucking tired of my favorite LGBT characters getting killed on the shows I watch.

      @evalynn1863 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      ***** Yes, there are other black LGBT female characters on the show that could go on to live successful lives, but they built Poussey up. They showed her light at the end of the tunnel, they showed her having a real shot at a normal, successful life after getting out and then they killed her and that's what pisses me off. They give you hope for these characters that they make you fall in love with and then they slaughter them.

    • @TomAndJerry87
      @TomAndJerry87 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      That was the point. This kind of shit happens in real life, where good people who have people who love them and care about them and futures to look forward too are killed for no real reason. You can be pissed about it all you want, but the point was to make a very large impact on the audience and the writing and acting has clearly done it's job well.

    • @evalynn1863
      @evalynn1863 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      TomAndJerry87 Exactly. This shit happens in real life everyday. This shit is on our TVs everyday. People watch shows and movies to escape reality. Which is why this pisses me off. Because they spent so much time developing her character, showing her characters future just to rip it away. I was already fading away from this and this season actually got me more interested until that shit happened. That was the last straw. Same thing happened for me with Supernatural. I have not loved that show the way I did before they slaughtered the only openly gay female character who happened to be my favorite. The only thing it does is piss me off and make me stop supporting the show because I have enough of my people killed in real life, I don't want them killed in the shows I watch too. The only impact it's made on a lot of people is piss them off so they stop supporting the show.

    • @TomAndJerry87
      @TomAndJerry87 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't really think the writers care about pissing a few people off. You can never make everyone happy, and OITNB has always tried to portray real life issues. The ending was harsh and mean because it was supposed to be harsh and mean. We don't agree at all lol.
