Orange Is the New Black Season 4 Review

Orange Is the New Black Season 4 Review

Its that time of the year again where inmates of Lichfield roam around and do all types of crazy stuff. I wasn't particularly big fan of Season 3 for many reasons i thought it was too much focused on Pipers whining and mental breakdowns, which made me hate her character so much. 

Luckily the screen time between all characters in Season 4 are more balanced and i rather enjoyed that - its no longer about Piper and her way of dealing with prison life. Some people said that the show had become also more Drama heavy than a comedy, but for me always it was a "Dramedy" sure there is more emphasis on real struggles of a prison life and the show portrays lot of those.

I think somehow i feel there is also a bit of "Black Lives matter" type of a vibe with this season along with general prisoner rights - Warden Caputo also plays a big part in this season (well he had major role in previous one too) and hes struggles to fight the corporate world to make prison a better place.

Caputo really wants to achieve something during his time in Lichfield and perhaps is looking for some type of a path for his life (He kinda finds that during this season) and he reflects alot on his past decisions, where he fired lot of people in Season 3 etc.

Overall very enjoyable season and maybe best so far, the finale episode was "very powerful" and it manifested lot of powerful emotions in me a lot.
