An incredible season. They almost had me thinking they tanked it, but the twist is the last few minutes of the finale really cemented it for me that this is the best thing they’ve done yet. The character development across the board feels rich and lived in, even when some of them are pissing me off. Tears in my eyes for Deborah Vance. Ava Daniels forever.

In which they do it again. I’m so happy to see these characters grow and subvert our expectations after watching them for a while. However, I can’t help but be even more anxious that the show has to end soon — even if I want to watch it forever. Jean Smart’s and Hannah Einbinder’s chemistry continues to ratchet up and I so appreciate how their work in this season pulls us beyond a crescendo and into the next movement, especially in the finale.

A fan service season that rested on its relationship with its audience, rather than trying to pander to late adopters. It was so rich and full of reference without abusing it, which feels rare in writing these days. I cannot wait to watch this back in the full knowledge of how it ends.
