    Season 7 ends on the same high note as the first two seasons, with every potential of a 10 year reunion.

Though at times glamourized, the plight of queer women, women of colour, trans women and women in general in the prison system is horrible.

    A season full of emotionals moments, heatbreaking, we see closure for some of the characters and a open ending. Excelent season finale, a fine goog bye for such a great serie

    Although there are too many subplots at times, Season 7 ties up this show very nicely with great characters, hard-hitting subject matter, and some pretty impressive cinematography.

    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.

The thing I always liked about this show was the warmth and caring of the characters on both sides of the law, along with some clever humor.. Not a perfect show but it does have its powerful and moving moments for sure.    … Expand

    My low Rating has nothing to do with some "political Agenda". I acutally liked the ICE Part, it showed how **** up the situiation actually is, this wasnt fiction.

    My problem with this season was the writing, they clearly tried to make us cry, and some parts really worked out fine. But nearly no one got a sattisfying ending.
    Everything was so depressing, it wasnt even sad anymore.

    The best **** show of the world! This season made me cry a lot, beautiful and deep. Thank you Jenji Kohan for bring this amazing, unforgettable and unique show in our lives. I Want a movie about the girls after prison and Vauseman! #OITNBforever.

    Acabo de terminar la última temporada de OITNB , y me da gran entusiasmo decir que esta temporada es la mejor de todas , increíble como cada episodio de supera, y lo buen que maneja el humor negro y los momentos melodramáticos , realmente es una temporada muy cruel.

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

    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.

    Shameless fan service. Really convenient disappointment. It does manage to wrap things up but it's so camp you rarely feel the payoff.

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

    The show mostly resists the temptation to say goodbye with a greatest hits tour, but it certainly gets the band playing some familiar tunes. It will be hard to find any fan with a complaint, given that all the favourites, and some surprises, get at least a little screen time, especially in the final episode. Even the chickens make a comeback. Not all of it works – Daya’s evolution into ice-cold top dog is cartoonish, for example – but it never lacks heart.

    Season seven is the most satisfying it’s been in years because the story gets the chance to lay itself to rest. It’s the same show, but tweaked and trimmed, well-oiled and screwed-down, to a few major relationships in a few essential places.
