There are moments throughout the 13 episodes when you might also wish to seek release, but don't bail before the poignant final bows over the credits, which reminds us what a remarkable and diverse ensemble once wire the orange. [22 Jul - 4 Aug 2019, p.7]

This closing run of 13 episodes is the most focused season in years, a steady reminder of how smartly political, energetically funny and devastatingly dramatic this show could be. Read full review

Moving, emotional final season that hits mostly high notes, and satisfactorily resolves a whole lot of stories. Read full review

A conclusion that feels true and honorable, that isn’t necessarily a happy ending but a right one that satisfies. Read full review

This sense of coming together perversely helps excuse some of the show’s excess. Read full review

The show’s humor is key to its appeal, but in the weaker midseason episodes, it can feel like spoonfuls of sugar to make the pedantic bitterness go down. ... And yet for all its faults, it’s difficult to think of another show that stares so unblinkingly at the most egregious excesses of American capitalism and bureaucracy and injustice, and does so while rarely losing sight of the humanity of the people, especially the women, involved.

There are so many characters with so many varied issues that we can be left feeling a little short-changed. Read full review

It isn’t very often that a show has such a satisfying ending. The entire season is filled of heartbreaking scenes followed by life affirming and hilarious moments that I cannot imagine any showing pulling off as well as the constantly excellent, diverse and charismatic cast.

This is the perfect ending to a wonderfully beautiful series. Never have I seen such a diverse and real cast. Never have I ever seen a show take on such controversial topics like Orange Is the New Black did. They kept it real while still spreading hope.

Season 7 ends on the same high note as the first two seasons, with every potential of a 10 year reunion. The importance of this show is showcasing the issues and stigmas happening in the World today.

The importance of this show is showcasing the issues and stigmas happening in the World today. Though at times glamourized, the plight of queer women, women of colour, trans women and women in general in the prison system is horrible. This show is important to showcase what needs to be done for change to happen.… Expand

After a couple of "meh" seasons, this final season wraps everything up well. I don't think they could have done it much better with all things considered. I'm kinda glad it's over, though.

I have come to the conclusion that watching this show is a waste of time. They should have stopped three seasons ago.
