The show never did ditch much of its original cast OITNB jettisoned many characters over the years, but its efforts to tell continually compelling stories about the remaining main characters was iffy at best. Through seasons five and six (especially six), the show struggled to balance its narrative need for momentum with the subject matter’s inherent tendency toward stagnation. To some extent I still stand by that assessment. Characters like Piper, Alex, Red, and Taystee were already exhibiting diminishing returns, and the series was turning to increasingly heightened, sometimes goofy stories in order to keep the energy up. The best mechanism for the show, I felt then, would be if it could give up most of its main characters and welcome in an entirely new slate of protagonists. In 2016, when Orange Is the New Black was given a huge, three-season renewal order, I wrote about what I felt the show needed to do in order to keep itself fresh. But in season seven of Orange Is the New Black, the show’s last season and also one of its most ambitious, the train is firmly and unerringly back on the track. At its best it was as compelling as ever, but at its worst in the last several seasons, it was too slow, focused on characters with no particular draw, and telling stories that often went nowhere. For a while now, it’s felt as though Orange Is the New Black had come off the rails a bit its performances continued to be great, but pieces of it began to feel unnecessary.
