Orange is the New Black Season 4 Reviews: The Best Season Yet?!

Weather forecasts are showing balmy temperatures and cloudless skies across most of the country this weekend, but if you’re the type who bursts into flames after ten minutes of sunshine, fear not: You now have a perfectly good excuse for staying inside all weekend, as critics are saying Orange is the New Black Season 4 , which dropped on Netflix at midnight, may be the show’s strongest outing to date. The 13-episode run currently holds an astonishing 100% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, and for the many fans who fear the show veered too deep into sitcom territory last season, the critics offer assurances that Season 4 is as dark as it is brilliant. Check out some of the reviews below: ” Orange is a thing unto itself, and based on the brilliant fourth season, it’s sturdy enough to hold up for years to come.” – Joshua Alston, AV Club “For a show that has always played on themes of privilege and power, this season’s dark trajectory is as inevitable as it is haunting.” – Bethonie Butler, Washington Post View Slideshow: Orange is the New Black Cast: Before They Were Stars… “While this fourth chapter in the saga of Litchfield Penitentiary gets off to a bumpier start than usual, it ends on such powerful notes that if you’ve ever been a fan, you simply have to view all 13 episodes.” – Jen Chaney, New York Magazine “I would say that if you love Orange Is The New Black , you’re going to be pleased with the way the new season unfolds. If you’re more skeptical of its ongoing strength, you may feel, as I did, that some of the show’s irritating habits have increased.” – Ken Tucker, Yahoo! Orange is the New Black Season 4 Trailer: New Blood, New Rules “Based on the first six episodes of the 4th season, OITNB remains fresh, funny/sad, smart, inventive, well-written, and particularly well-acted.” – Verne Gay, Newsday “Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black is better than ever in its dark, dauntless fourth chapter.” – Isaac Feldberg, Boston Globe ” There might be new stories to tell, but on Orange, just like in Litchfield, the OGs still rule.” – Melissa Maerz, Entertainment Weekly “This ambitious mix of comedy and drama is about to get more ambitious. A complex show is about to get more complex. An acclaimed series is about to earn more acclaim.” – Mark Dawidziak, Cleveland Plain Dealer So binge away, children. The sun will be there next weekend, right?

Stop The Violence: Shooting Leaves One Dead, Three Injured Following George Clinton “Family Unity” Concert

SMDH. A man fired several shots from a handgun during a large fight near an outdoor concert venue featuring funk music artist George Clinton, killing one person and wounding three others, police said Sunday. The fight erupted before 10 p.m. Saturday at an intersection near Luke East Park, the venue for the eighth annual Unity in the Park festival. Police didn’t have a description of the shooter, and no arrests had been made by midmorning Sunday, Sgt. Sammy Morris told The Associated Press. It wasn’t immediately clear how long after Clinton or the other musicians performed that the shooting erupted or what prompted it. Police didn’t know if those involved in the fight were among concertgoers leaving the area. “These were younger people, so we’re not sure,” Morris said. “George Clinton is an older (artist). We’re not going to speculate.” A 16-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the head died of his injuries early Sunday, Morris said. He didn’t know the conditions of the other three who were wounded: a 20-year-old woman shot in the neck, and a 14-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man each hospitalized with leg wounds. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported earlier that the two most seriously wounded were in critical condition, and the other two were stable. And once again, that is why our people can’t have anything.
