Orange loses little steam in its fourth tour of duty, with extremes of dark comedy and bitter tragedy, often heartbreaking in its depiction of metal illness and addiction, devastating in its escalation of racial conflict after the prison's cold-blooded new corporate owners flood the cell block with new bodies, triggering a demographic power shift. [27 Jun - 10 Jul 2016, p.15]
A show originally labeled as a comedy takes a dark turn into a powerful drama dealing with issues of race, gender, morality, and power. I applaud the writers for being bold enough to take the show down this road, because for me, it payed off big-time.
Orange is terrific! It is consistently good. Wonderful actors, great story lines. This show has fantastic writers. So glad they will continue for many more seasons.
The remarkable thing is that, even with a bigger cast, Kohan never sacrifices a whit of clarity or energy. Orange Is the New Black is as fresh and as vital as ever, and you don't always see that in a fourth season.
Season 4 feels more like a drama than ever, and that’s not a bad thing. “Orange Is the New Black” has introduced a multitude of characters we don’t usually see on television and given them complicated and intimate relationships that speak volumes about issues not contained to prison’s impenetrable walls.
For all its faults, from some off-kilter performances and sometimes clumsy articulations of overarching themes, Orange Is the New Black feels as sublime as ever for so intuitively recognizing that even the little joys that prison life can bring to an inmate are deceptive, as they too hinge on a relinquishing of power.
If you love Orange Is The New Black, you’re going to be pleased with the way the new season unfolds. If you’re more skeptical of its ongoing strength, you may feel, as I did, that some of the show’s irritating habits have increased.
The best season fo the show. So dark and heartbroken. And all the cast deliver the best performance they can. The writing on point. I really, really love this season
“Orange Is The New Black” volvió mejor que nunca, mejores historias, nuevos personajes (que suman) y mucho más dinamismo que se fusionan para formar el drama perfecto en cada uno de los trece episodios.
La historia continúa con una Piper Chapman autoproclamada la capo maffia de Lietchfield, mientras Alex lidia con el sicario de Kubra con ayuda de Lolly, mientras la prisión recibe nuevo personal para abordar la fuga de las prisioneras. Todo comienza a cobrar intensidad cuando se suma una nueva tanda de presas que cambia el orden social del establecimiento dejando a las latinas con el mayor número de cabezas sobre otra sección.
El sabor de la tercera temporada hacía parecer que las nuevas adhesiones no iban a ser relevantes, pero en cambio, la historia construida alrededor de las viejas prisioneras cobra un tono muy satisfactorio, los nuevos personajes las enriquecen y las lleva a un nivel que les permiten aportar mejores romances, diálogos y sobretodo conflicto.
Es difícil hallar puntos flojos porque todo está orquestado prolijamente, el guión, la producción y la actuación es ejemplar. Un imperdible de Netflix.
This is Netflix's best show. The acting is phenomenal, with Taylor and the whole supporting ladies in need of Emmy nominations for next years Emmy's. This season get's better and better with every episode and it's hard not to binge watch in two days. GREAT JOB!
What started off as an interesting, unique and fresh show, has started to slowly stagnate over each new season that is aired.
It's all pretty much what you expect from Orange is the New Black, at the same time it's also all mostly stuff we've seen before.
By the time season 4 starts to become really interesting, suddenly the season is over. Season cliff hangers aren't anything new, but why are they still completely acceptable? It isn't like the show can't wrap up a story arc and we wouldn't come back.
I was completely unsatisfied with how the season ended. Instead of having multiple stories in a single season, it'd be nice if they could focus on a single story and wrap it up by the end of the season.
Season 4 really suffers from a lot of filler content as well that distracts from the overall stories being told. It's perfectly acceptable to explain part of a characters back story when it is necessary. The issue with season 4 is they are constantly doing this with a majority of the characters and more times then not, it's nothing more then fluff, it does not contribute to the over all story being told and in the end is designed simply to waste our time.
The writers need to start working a little harder with season 5 or it may be the last time I ever watch Orange is the New Black.
What a terrible season, such lazy writing & directing, I liked the first two seasons, the third season was alright, and this season was so bad I fast forwarded though so much cloying unnecessary filler plots. Blech, they ruined it.
