The last of the finest. Here we are at the end of all things. There are moments scattered throughout the new episodes that remind you of how great the show can be when it's operating on all cylinders, but in its refusal to let go of the majority of its original cast, Orange damned itself by never making room for new voices to receive the space they need to have their story told properly and have the audience invested in them.
