Because the pilot was never picked up for development into a series, The Farm, costarring Famke Janssen, Melissa Leo, and Laurie Metcalf, was the OITNB that never was. The Farm was a spin-off of Showtime's lesbian drama The L Word, putting Alice (Leisha Hailey) in prison for the murder of her friend Jenny (Mia Kirshner). The on-again, off-again relationship between Tobias Beecher (Lee Tergeson) and Chris Keller (Chris Meloni) was one of the series' most compelling story arcs. The show follows the life of prison manager Tim McManus and his attempts to keep control over the inmates. The title is a nickname given for the Oswald State Correctional Facility in New York (the same state where OITNB is set!). From 1997 to 2003, this one-hour HBO series defied countless taboos.
