We're just over a week away from the release of OITNB Season 4, and a few early spoiler-free reviews have recently started appearing online. It's a relief, then, that what is out there already is very positive.

The Hollywood Reporter comment on how the show still manages to make interesting creative decisions four seasons in, saying:

"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... It's clear that Orange Is the New Black isn't flagging and still feels as fresh as the first season, but has expanded exponentially when it comes to creativity and ambition."

The Telegraph, meanwhile, say that S4 might be the darkest one yet, but also note: "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."
