List of accolades received by Orange Is the New Black

 * ... that Orange Is the New Black is the first series to receive Emmy Award nominations in both comedy and drama categories?

 * Article created on April 15 and currently has 3264 characters. It is cited throughout and the hook is supported by the corresponding inline citation. A few spotchecks revealed no copyvio issues. The hook is ok, though I wonder if highlighting other details might be more interesting? How about this?


 * ALT1: ... that a comedy-drama show about a women's prison is Netflix's most-watched original series?  Ruby  2010/  2013  22:47, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * , sure, but why not name the series? Maybe state (ALT2): ... that the comedy-drama show Orange Is the New Black is Netflix's most-watched original series?
 * Or, if you prefer both descriptions, ALT3: ... that Orange Is the New Black, the comedy-drama show about a women's prison, is Netflix's most-watched original series? Lapadite (talk) 23:52, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The problem with the ALT hooks is that they are not focused on the awards, but rather the series itself. Since the bolded article is about the awards won by the show, surely the hook should at least mention that. Personally I find the original hook quite interesting. 97198 (talk) 13:45, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg You have a point about mentioning the series' awards (due to the topic of the list). I'm fine approving the original hook if consensus favors it. Best,  Ruby  2010/  2013  15:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
