	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[7th Season Review]: [It] is the most focused season in years, a steady reminder of how smartly political, energetically funny and devastatingly dramatic this show could be"	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[7th Season Review]: These last 13 episodes acquit themselves fairly well. But repetitive flashbacks and a couple hugely ambitious new plots unbalance the season and cause the series to make a shakier landing than it might have with some sharper focus"	NEU
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[7th Season Review]: The train is firmly and unerringly back on the track (...) It’s unambiguous, and surprisingly emotional, and it’s a fitting end for a show that helped launch a new era of TV."	POS
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[7th Season Review]: [It provides] a kind of emotional release that largely fulfills seven seasons of storytelling, and once again proves how Jenji Kohan’s series was a true game changer for Netflix and TV"	POS
United Kingdom	Isabel Mohan Telegraph	"[7th Season Review]: [It] now veers from 'pretty good with moments of brilliance' to 'can we fast-forward this bit?' (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[7th Season Review]: Gut-wrenching but gripping and full of heart, the groundbreaking prison drama bows out by bringing back all the fan favourites (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[7th Season Review]: As always, 'OITNB' balances sitcom silliness (...) with the brutal realities of the correctional system."	POS
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[6th Season Review]: It’s still fun to watch the writers combine the sprawling cast (...) in new and unexpected permutations"	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[6th Season Review]: Season 6 is indeed a marked improvement on Season 5. In fact, it’s even pretty good. But it also ends up highlighting the series’ overall weaknesses"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[6th Season Review]: Still uneven — and still full of great moments"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"[6th Season Review]: The result is a season that feels fresher and more surprising than the ones that came before"	POS
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"[6th Season Review]: A marked improvement over last year's chaos (...) A powerful and moving mosaic."	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[6th Season Review]: [It] is aimless, but still compelling (...) 'Orange Is the New Black' remains a worthwhile series"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"[5th Season Review]: Audacious if sometimes out-of-control season"	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[5th Season Review]: Tough, occasionally oppressive, and--against all odds--still funny when least expected."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[5th Season Review]: This season was almost told in real time, with the 13 episodes taking place over the course of about days (...) It’s a choice that does elevate this season and give it new focus."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[5th Season Review]: A few of the strands are engaging (...) But most of the strands are either dull because of the slightness of their plots or merely irritating."	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"[4th Season Review]: It’s the show’s best season, and, along with season 4 of 'The Americans', one of the best seasons of an ongoing drama of the past year."	POS
United States	Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly	"[4th Season Review]: It’s a grim season, but there are still enough great one-liners to remind you why 'Orange' has earned a best-comedy nod from the Emmys."	POS
United Kingdom	Brian Moylan The Guardian	"[4th Season Review]: It might be hard to tell the differences between seasons three and four, but this is certainly a lot more grim but just as wonderful as the first time we were locked behind these bars."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[4th Season Review]: Early episodes of season four are as compelling and entertaining and as well-written and acted as they have been for the past three, which is a tremendous achievement."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[3th Season Review]: Season three of 'Orange' kicks off as impressively, confidently and excellently as ever."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[3th Season Review]: The series is blessed with a concept, with the right stewardship, that’s built to last."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"[3th Season Review]: It remains as fresh and interesting as when it began."	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"[3th Season Review]: The 'Orange' cast is still bringing the same freshness to their performances to which we’ve become accustomed. And that may be the one reason to stick with the series. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"It constantly offers more than you expect, and even when it delivers something either predictable or straight from the 'women’s prison drama' handbook, it then counters with something fresh or unexpected"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"That ensemble may be enough reason to spend 12 hours or so at the fictional Litchfield prison, even if the drama occasionally lags. It’s a surprisingly congenial place"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Although messy and at times uneven, the one-hour series feels like a bull’s-eye with the sort of premium-cable space the distributor is eager to carve out with its original efforts"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"A deft mix of comedy and drama in which the prison feels like a real place and the women are actual people, rather than a thinly veiled excuse to stage catfights, lesbian fantasies and sexual assault (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"There is an abiding feeling for character and authenticity that helps elevate 'Orange Is the New Black' to a new definition of television excellence"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"It is (...) filled with the entire range of human emotion and stories, all of which are brought vividly to life in a world where a stick of gum could ignite either a romance or a death threat"	POS
