Orange Is The New Black - Season Four

TV series get to participate in cyber security issues too. Apparently after no ransom was paid, Hacker The Dark Overlord released "Orange is the New Black's" fifth season online, in advance of the officially slated date of June 9.

But luckily, the Litchfield Ladies are also legally back on disc to share their engrossing, tragicomic, close-to-reality stories about incarcerated lives, in Jenji Kohan's "Orange is the New Black - Season Four."

The 13-episode season kicks off with "Work That Body for Me," as conflicted Caputo (Nick Sandow) juggles an influx of new inmates and green guards, continued with "Power Suit."

Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson (Danielle Brooks) lands some interesting work in "(Don't) Say Anything," while Lorna (Yael Stone) grapples with marital bliss.

Piper (Taylor Schilling) runs into some illicit business competition in "Doctor Psycho." Asshole correctional officer Piscatella (Brad William Henke) begins an anti-gang initiative in "We'll Always Have Baltimore."

"Piece of Sh*t" has Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore) influencing Taystee on the job. Red (Kate Mulgrew) recommits to Russian-ness in "It Sounded Nicer in My Head."

Poussey (Samira Wiley) helps celebrity chef inmate Judy (Blair Brown) in "Friends in Low Places," and Flores (Laura Gomez) and Ramos (Diane Guerrero) fight the power in "Turn Table Turn."

"Bunny, Skull, Bunny, Skull" has Piper questioning punishments, and a lockdown is featured in "People Persons."

Shakeups in the prison families show up in "The Animals," and Caputo continues to be tested in the finale, "Toast Can't Never Be Bread Again."

The three-disc set includes cast and crew commentaries (including "The Animals" with writer/producer Lauren Morelli and executive producer Tara Herrmann; and "It Sounded Nicer in My Head" with writer/producer Nick Jones and Lori Petty, who plays Lolly), and "Visitation: Set Tour."

The production design and the art director tour Red's, then Gloria's kitchen, now the MCC corporate "factory feeding" facility it's turned into. Most kitchen features are real and practical.

The common room with its "sad prison mural of the outside world" is visited, as is the Visitor Room, which was copied as a set from a real location. Season changes need to be reflected in the massive outdoor photography behind windows made by a billboard printer.

Double bunks were brought into the newly for-profit prison. The team configures and reconfigures hallways and barracks for each scene, aging and distressing as appropriate.

They use the same bathroom for all three groups, including for "Spanish Harlem." The multi-purpose service closet also gets a closer look.

In the real world of "Orange is the New Orange," it's a pleasure to return to "Orange is The New Black."
