There's also another matter, which—once everyone's rounded up—causes headaches for everyone: a flood of new inmates. Piper also finds herself facing difficulties with the Dominicans who, after she rebuffs them, launch their own panty business; and she also inadvertantly forms and becomes de facto leader of a white-power group. Healy, meanwhile, takes a special interest in Lolly, who reminds him of his mother; celebrity chef Judy King makes herself at home in a spacious cell-slash-suite; Taystee becomes Caputo's personal assistant; and a peaceful protest by the inmates results in an unexpected death.

More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Orange Is the New Black Season 4 All Critics (50) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (47) | Rotten (3) Based on the first six episodes of the 4th season, OITNB remains fresh, funny/sad, smart, inventive, well-written, and particularly well-acted. Jun 15, 2016 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Netflix's Orange Is the New Black is better than ever in its dark, dauntless fourth chapter. Jun 15, 2016 | Full Review… Isaac Feldberg Boston Globe Top Critic 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. Jun 8, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Isabel Mohan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic 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. Jun 29, 2016 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic 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. Jun 20, 2016 | Full Review… Dana Schwartz Observer Top Critic 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. Jun 17, 2016 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic This season's narrative did nothing more than march in lockstep with the real-life stories of policemen who harmed the people they were tasked with protecting. Mar 9, 2019 | Full Review… Cate Young Bitch Media Fourth time around, Orange Is The New Black is back to its sparky, laugh-out-loud, emotionally-involving best. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review… Ailis Brennan GQ Magazine [UK] I have never been so glad to welcome Orange Is the New Black back into my life. Jul 2, 2018 | Full Review… Heather Hogan Autostraddle The main thing I appreciated about this particular season is how much they focused on humanizing every character, guard, prisoner, and whomever. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Maya Williams Black Girl Nerds View All Critic Reviews (50) Audience Reviews for Orange Is the New Black: Season 4 ½ 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.
