Critics' reviews

"[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"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"[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"

Caroline Framke: Variety
"[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."

Kathryn VanArendonk: Vulture
"[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"

Kevin Yeoman: Screen Rant
"[7th Season Review]: [It] now veers from 'pretty good with moments of brilliance' to 'can we fast-forward this bit?' (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Isabel Mohan: Telegraph
"[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)"

Rebecca Nicholson: The Guardian
"[7th Season Review]: As always, 'OITNB' balances sitcom silliness (...) with the brutal realities of the correctional system."
