In last year's finale, Gretchen (Aya Cash) and Jimmy (Chris Geere) finally said "I love you" to each other. So is it all smooth sailing from here? Nope. "The first time you say 'I love you,' it's scary," says the showrunner and exec producer, Stephen Falk. "At least one of them, if not both, are freaked out by having taken this step."

HBO's new twisting corkscrew of a drama encourages close examination, not only of its plot but of its credits: Poignantly listed as an executive producer is the name of James Gandolfini. In the show's original pilot, shot in 2012, the Sopranos icon played a low-rent New York lawyer drawn to a murder suspect (Riz Ahmed). The project was shelved after Gandolfini's death in 2013 but resurrected a year later with John Turturro as the lead. Even on the sunniest days, this dark crime thriller will keep you on the edge of your beach chair.

Making waves in Litchfield Penitentiary this season is the tax-evading TV culinary host Judy King, played with sugar and spice by Blair Brown (Fringe). A master manipulator with a smile, King quickly learns how to work the system from the inside. "I usually play polite and responsible people," Brown tells EW. "Judy is a person who continually makes wrong decisions. I'm having the best time."
