This season seems to take a different approach and tries something new. I thought the last season left open exciting storylines that could easily be picked up here but they decided not to. I have a mixed feelings about the opening episode. Episodes starts with the familiar characters getting transported to a new prison called Cruz Del Norte due to overcrowding in the former prison. I find this reason to be absurd, and it just so happens that it's only our favorite characters that conveniently make the transfer list. If a prison is saturated wouldn't it make sense to take new inmates to other available prison instead of transferring already established inmates? And what about Bambi, she played a good role in last season's finale, and seem to form a good bond with Macarena. It's a shame we'll get to see that dynamic develops. Nitpicking aside, this change could be better for the show, as we are introduced to new faces and some potential foes, which could be really exciting and refreshing. The chinese seems to has the authority in the new prison and they look like a potential danger to our beloved characters. They'd make a good villain. I don't know about the new security guards characters, I don't like them much but it'll take some getting used to i guess, as I have the same feeling with Fabio, Palacio, Valbuena, etc at first and then I come to invest in their characters so i hope it'll the same for these guys. As for the original characters, some look fantastic while others dramatically change. Macarena is fiercer than the last time we saw her, I like how she's so visceral and thick-skinned but without losing her humanity. The rivalry between her and Zulema would have been epic but an outside force made sure that it's better for them to be friends than foes. Overall, a good opening episode that sets well what's coming.

Great script and acting , very Violant and sad . U see Inmats mostly destroying one another.
The mangment of the prison , is worse then the inmats ,mostly the Crazy doctor .
Liked the 2 and 3 season the most.
