We've been watching Orange is the New Black since its beginning. The first two seasons were good. Very different from ordinary "television". The characters were being developed and by the end of season 2, there was a good differentiation between characters and story lines. Season 3 seemed to be reaching, so the tack was taken to try to present backgrounds of the characters that had previously just been inmates...who were these women, where did they come from, what had they done to end up in Litchfield. Finally, season four presented us with new characters and situations as the prison was taken over by a for profit corporation. Familiar characters as CO's left and were replaced by more brutal mercenary CO's. The final episode of season 4 was artful, beautiful, sad, haunting. The show finally attempted to make a statement about the brutality of prison life and how easy it is for decent people to respond to brutality with brutality of their own.....In this situation, all is lost. No one wins. This is the best episode of the entire series.
