Sharp tv netflix problem 20164/7/2024 ![]() Twitter is strewn with people who saw reactions to Poussey’s death before they saw the episode. But to know that Poussey is doomed saps the power of her death.Īnd, unfortunately for fans who didn’t power through the fourth season in a weekend, that death is indeed so powerful-robbing the show of one of its most dynamic and lovable characters in an act of transparent cruelty and racially-motivated brutality-that those who’ve watched it want, badly, to discuss it. ![]() Knowing that she dies feels substantially different from, say, knowing whether it’s Jon or Ramsay who wins Game of Thrones‘s “Battle of the Bastards” both options feel credibly in play. ![]() The death of Poussey in the season’s 12th episode, as a result of the guards’ brutality, works as drama particularly because of how random it is-Poussey is the ultimate bystander, someone trying to ride out the rest of her incarceration and avoid getting involved in the currents of violence and tension that animate life at Litchfield. Orange is the New Black‘s fourth season, though, presents a particularly vexing case, one that challenges everything I thought I knew about spoilers. In general, I believe both that there’s really no such thing as a “spoiler”-that a work of art, if it’s made well, can survive foreknowledge of its plot-and that it’s on the would-be viewer to either consume the artwork quickly or avoid the public square. Spoilers for the entire fourth season of Orange is the New Black follow.
