Once the show establishes its new rhythm, one in which it’s impossible to guess who or what the next scene will consist of, Orange is thrillingly off-kilter. Read full review

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]

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. Read full review

The new status quo and even more skewed power balances within the prison doesn’t just test every single character. It pushes all of them to their limits, and eventually throws them right the hell off the cliff they’ve been teetering on the edge of. Read full review

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.

Orange Is the New Black itself, which has grown richer, more surprising, and ambitious in its fourth season. That doesn’t always mean it’s better than ever--often it isn’t--but is just as admirable as ever. Read full review

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. Read full review

Just....wow.
I was really scared of this season, because i really didnt like the third one. I hoped that they could find back to old glory....and they did.
This season is pure gold, right now my favorite season. The plot is just great, extremely great.

What a terrific piece of television, fully committed to the scope and sprawl of the prison, constructed with labyrinthine preciseness, and capable of brutality and pathos at which previous seasons have only hinted.

It's not any more subtle than before, but what's the point of subtlety when dealing with issues of such immediate prescience? A wounded animal isn't exactly going to whimper quietly.
For a needlessly precise numerical score- 92/100, or an A… Expand

Season 4 of OITNB is extremely powerful. After a slow start the show takes us to a climax build up of the last 3 seasons; the human rights of prisoners and how the system takes advantage.

Arguably the best season in the series, marred only by it's incredibly negative and ugly stereotyping of veterans. Overall much more emotional, much darker, and a solid return to form after a bumbling season 3.

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.
