It's the worst season, lacking the creativity and the crazyness of the previous one and with a cliffhanger that never got resolved, but it's still quite fun and with some occasional stroke of genius.
Basically it's like Masters of Sex but with people getting to intercourse through rape and murder instead of counseling.
Two episodes to warm up the engines, then that fight and only love for the rest of the season. Amazing.
It's a slow burner and episode 7 is atrocious in spite of its good intentions, but overall it's almost as good as season one, even though it's even more derivative and predictable: the cast is still amazing, the characters are still adorable and it's nice that it gives more time to the ones that had less space in season one.
The whole web of mysteries is quite fun, even though a bit predictable in the actual twists. The whole philosophical part is frankly really basic, but also decently fun. What is missing is the human element, a bit of fun, some deep characters and some really engaging storylines. It's made this way on purpose because of the themes, of course, but still, I feel it's lacking. I mean, "that guy" shooting himself was powerful, but it instantly deflated because it didn't really mean anything. And that's just an example. And - jesus - too much exposition. Info dumps after info dumps with no elegance at all. They know it, they joke on it with the "show, don't tell" line, but that doesn't make it better. That being said, the production is amazing, the cast is great and I think this could be a good prologue to a much better second season.
A really brave and ambitious final season.
The first three episodes are amazing. Gripping, romantic, thrilling, deep, sexy... it trojan horses a spy story inside a drama/romance/thriller thing and it does it in a wonderful way. Episode four is where it collapses by letting the uninteresting sci-fi/spy element take control. Episode five doesn't particularly get better. Still, the amazing start and the great cast deserve a view.
What the fuck wow yeah.
The usual Bojack: sometimes it's great, sometimes it's decent, sometimes it's amazing.
Great writing, acting and directing, relevant themes, a lot of cliches that get subverted in smart and elegant ways.
OK, it's true, it's much less gripping than usual, but come on, you're making it bigger than it is. It's still a beautifully written and acted show, and I kind of liked the slowdown, the setting up stuff for the final season and the dedication to characters and relationships. Plus, when it wanted, it still was emotionally quite strong.
It's not that atrocious, a couple of actors are well casted and there's some potential for growing up (but I assume we won't see anymore of this, so... ). The problem is that it's so naive... it's written like a show from twenty or more years ago, it really is out of its time. And yeah, of course, even if you look at it that way, it's not particularly good.
Even better than season one: the humour is more on point, the themes are very well tackled (and probably more relevant now than when the show was written) and the acting is getting better.
So much better than everything Marvel/Netflix did after the first season of Jessica Jones.
Nice and fun until it finally becomes great. But jesus I hate how it uses songs. Not always. But most of the time.
It takes two or three episodes to get the rhythm but by then the series becomes amazing. Great writing, ambitious direction, a very good cast, nice themes and an actually marvelous actress.
When it takes itself too seriously it's a bit clumsy, but overall it's still fun as hell.
It's still really funny when it wants to be and the final bunch of episodes, with all their drama, work very well, but I agree with people saying it lost some bite.
Some storylines feel a bit formulaic/avoidable, but overall I found it more consistently enjoyable than season three.
It's still fun but yeah, it kinda lost its magic by now.
Like season one, with the added bonus of continuity.
A good and fitting ending, I guess. I though it was a bit funnier than the previous one, but still it's far from the enjoyement of the first couple of series.
A lovely ending for a lovely series.
Poor Boone and Olivia, they didn't know what they were getting themselves into.
Far from being as good as the two previous season, this still is great television and one of the best shows out there.
This is brilliant, cute, funny and surprisingly deep in its themes. Plus, my two years old daughter loves it.
Fun, surprising, fresh, visually striking, full of nice ideas... it's a different and interesting way to do the superhero thing.
The first half of the season is really, really good, then it tragically falls back in the usual "not enough stuff to fill 12 episodes" problem. There's still a bunch of good episodes and great moments, though, plus the finale is spot on.
I'm not sure I now know what it feels like to be black but at least I tried.
All the good elements from The Good Wife are more or less here: intriguing storylines, interesting courtroom drama, strong characters, good actors. So, obviously, it's a really good show. But, I don't know, something's missing. Or maybe it's just that I can barely tolerate how bad of an actress Rose Leslie is.
