Jan 11, 2019That was one hell of a season premiere episode! So glad it wasn't dwelling on her depression - which is a serious topic, but not totally fun to watch on a half-hour comedy.

Jan 3, 2022Up there with one of the best final seasons and episodes. It's sincere, affectionate and honest. So glad it wasn't dwelling on her depression - which is a serious topic. It doesn't coddle anyone or any topic.

Throughout, Season 5 celebrates every aspect of what’s made the series a standout--especially its cast.

Not all of this season’s ideas are as successful. ... That’s not a fatal flaw in this kind of high-concept comedy, however, as long as the writing is imaginative and the performances snap. And 13 weeks from now, the landing is indeed stuck, in a finale that answers the questions and satisfies the emotions without short-selling the serious issues.

The show has always been a delicate balancing act of cynicism and sincerity, and occasional stumbles this late into the process are inevitable. Some experiments work, like the way this week’s premiere feels like a wild detour until it becomes clear how much it has to say about Gretchen and Jimmy’s love story. (It’s the show’s best, funniest episode in quite some time.) Others don’t, like the latest spotlight on Lindsay’s outsized extended family.
