All Critics (42) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (2)
Based on the first six episodes of the 4th season, OITNB remains fresh, funny/sad, smart, inventive, well-written, and particularly well-acted.
Netflix's Orange Is the New Black is better than ever in its dark, dauntless fourth chapter.
Other seasons of OITNB have started slowly, but this one's a banger from the outset and we're delighted and relieved that the drama shows no signs of letting up.

The bite is back with a vengeance while the supply of story lines has multiplied rather than calcified. As with HBO's Game of Thrones, the best seems yet to come after rejuvenating seasons that will leave many a faithful fan stoked for more.

Season Four of OITNB is a glorious return to form: a pitch-perfect mix of comedy and drama astonishing in just how real it all feels.

This intimacy gives OINTB the cushion to treat provocative issues-rape, racism, prison violence, excessive force-in ways that are not just nuanced for scripted television, but nuanced full stop.

Audience Reviews for Orange Is the New Black: Season 4
The annoying characters were gotten rid of while others developed more to be likeable. It's a big step up from the previously cheerful tone to some serious drama.
