<em>Orange is the New Black</em> Rebounds With a Majestic Fourth Season

Like everything else, TV series are subject to the harsh law of entropy. But Orange is the New Black has come back from a cooling-off period with more than ever to say, and vibrant new ways to say it. Season 4, to be released by Netflix in full on Friday, is not merely a comeback for a show that had come to feel less central than in its early days; it's the show's best season, and, along with season 4 of The Americans, one of the best seasons of an ongoing drama of the past year.
