How (Not) To Revive A Show: Arrested Development vs. Community 

It's what the dean would want

Subway was gonna buy the school I forgot about that lol 😂

I just re-watched Season 6, and it was pretty good for the most part. Certainly better than Season 4 (which was atrocious) ... and probably better than Season 5. Nowhere near the quality of Seasons 2 & 3, but that bar is so high -- Community Seasons 2 & 3 are probably the two best seasons of a TV comedy ever. Season 2 was the best, but Season 3's episode, as mentioned here, Remedial Chaos Theory is probably the best episode of any comedy I've ever seen. Meanwhile, Arrested Development just couldn't hold my interest in its final seasons -- despite being great in its earlier seasons.

4th!

also love that community and tumblr have been the two biggest things to cause yahoo to go bankrupt

literally love how self aware community was

and how they had the Dean make a big deal about not busting into a room in costume for a whole semester, by busting into a room in many costumes at once xD

It's funny because it's really stupid, unlike season 4 which was just stupid

which they made season 5 & 6 leak eveb more

Season 5 < Season 4, imo

yeah but whos fault is that.... (dean pelton)

I’d say till like midway through season 2 he’s the straight man but yeah he gets insane. Remember when he drove an axe through the study table?

@@cotton3399 to be fair that was the monkey gas, but that sentence doesn’t make him appear very sane lol

somehow abed becomes the straight man

Jeff is the gay one.

Community will always be my favorite show. I hope the movie will be as good as the show

Love it too much

absolutely. community is revolutionary and the fact that is ended like this is sad. can’t wait for that movie though :)

Community sucked ass let’s not kid ourselves it’s one of the shows that gets stale after the first viewing. Watching it a second time you can really figure out what doesn’t work

i’ve seen it like five times now and i still love it. people have different opinions :)

I don't understand why Netflix didn't pick it up in the first place when it got canceled before season 6

I believe arrested development is failing right now. But community season 1-3 were amazing season 4 was a flop and 5-6 were good just not as good as the first three

@@parkxtra5901 The later seasons suffered from season 4 a lot. Bad writing pushed the show in a direction that had to be retconned, and a majority of the talent left as the ratings dropped. Hell, even Chevy Chase leaving was a bummer.

Parker Smith 5 was nearly as good as the first three, but I struggled to get through 6. Still better than AD 4 and 5 though.

@@Mr.gluestick what retcons are you referring to? I cant think of a single one.

Which episode?

Daniel Cui shirley giving birth - s2ep22 abed delivering a baby in the background - s2ep3 it was super subtle but the amount of details this show has is insane, i love it so much. all throughout the episode u can see abed in the background with the pregnant woman

@@drowsiella Holy shit I just went back to watch it, that's amazing. He's even fighting with the dad at the beginning

drowsiella and at the end of that episode Shirley asked abed what he had been up to that day and he just said nothing much like he hadn’t just delivered a child

Never noticed that before, but I also just found that that background story goes back even further. In S2:E3, you see that couple with Abed about 3 times in the background leading up to the birth. You also see that same couple in the background of episode 11, season 1. When the announcement comes to not use the condoms because they're faulty, you see the guy throw the condom away.

Totally agree

it is streets ahead

@@joesoq stop trying to coin the term streets ahead

Love how the show ended with a narration saying show might move to the internet where turns out millions were watching, but will not matter

@@sohamladd trying?? coined and minted

Agreed...and personally, that I was around to watch Community on its yahoo screen run. What an era.

Still think it's so funny that the only time it comes up in conversation it's because of Community lol

I have never heard of Yahoo screen. Ever. Except for in this video, and that’s upon REWATCH because I did not remember this being part of the video.

right?! like, did yahoo not realise how ultimately unimportant they were? i know they're one of the biggest search engines, but that really isn't saying much considering the near monopoly Google has on the internet. i dont know anybody who uses yahoo, and aside from yahoo answers (which has basically been replaced by Quora) i dont think ive ever seen anyone really use it even 20 years ago Yahoo Screen is as crazy as the idea of a Bing streaming service. But hey, at least Andrew Garfield's Spiderman and Xbox users use Bing...

I watched it on Yahoo Screen when it first came out and I didn't even remember Yahoo Screen existing. I had retconned it to being on Hulu in my brain.

Sebastián Quirós Jeff: Did you know that you’re gay?

But on a serious note, Jeff stopped being a straightman midway through season 1. He did plently of things that were just as quirky as everyone else, where he and Michael are not alike at all. Overally you really really can't compare the 2 because Community is frickin amazing and Arrested Development is an overrated piece of crap.

Milap Mehta oh really!! I’ve never seen arrested dev but I was planning on starting since there’s a lot of crossover fans with community, is it that bad?

@@RomanZolanski123 If you're planning on watching it, I won't spoil any specific jokes. In short, they do a terrible job setting up their jokes. Judy Geller from Friends is an example of a well written mom who talks down to her kid because she's super nice to the other. Lucille Bluthe is really mean to everyone so her bad mom jokes don't work. Gob and Buster are both man childs. There is absolutely no need for both. The jokes with Lyndsey are super inconsistent with her sometimes being perceived as hot and sometimes being ignored. Her gay jokes don't work because Lyndsey is a caricature and nothing like the actress, Portia de Rossi. Portia's real life being ironic to the show is probably a reference of the joke in Ocean's Eleven where the press don't recognize Brad Pitt and George Clooney, but poorly done. Community did an awesome job of making fun of incest in season 6. Arrested Development did a terrible job writing Maybe and George Michael's incestuous romance. Tobias Funke is the only funny character, and even he is poorly written for many episodes.

@@RomanZolanski123 don't listen to that guy. Watch it, see how it is, then make your own opinion

me too friend. I recommend this show to everyone but I don't recommend them to binge it cause we all start to care about these characters so quickly.. honestly I don't wanna watch the final season because Troy was my favorite character in the entire show

Not pierce

@@deactivatedperson3759 Peirce was a douche but he was one of the main characters, and it was nice to see him grow and become a better person because of the group

That’s the main reason of why I didn’t like season 6. The addition of Elroy and Frankie to the group feel so unnatural and forced. At least season 5 had Ian Duncan who had been on the show previously so it didn’t look strange seeing him with the rest of the group and also Hickey had a good chemistry with the rest of the characters and he was really funny sometimes. Not to mention that at least Troy was on the first 5 episodes and shirley was on all of them.

"One by one they all just fade away"

Herstory of Dance is legitimately a wonderful episode. The puppet episode however is the worst thing I've ever seen. Season 4 was certainly... a season of television

overrated show

@@KTK44quite the opposite - far underrated.

I love how even the worst season of Community, is rated higher than the average sitcom.

Basic Human Anatomy (E11) was the only episode that made me smile in S4 (coincidence that this is the ep where Troy and Britta split? probably not). the puppet one was godawful but the haunted house one (E2) is a close second for worst piece of garbage

I know the show generally got worse later on but the one thing that did get better as it went on was the narrator. His meta jokes are super clever and funny, the guy obviously did an amazing job

In my honest opinion, I always found arrested development a far superior show than community with regards to comedy and character craft.

I just finished watching season 2 and there’s an episode that begins with Michael hearing that an agreement the Bluth company had was altered and they now were only scheduled to build 18 houses instead of 22. The first season of the show had 22 episodes, but the second only got 18. I’ve seen this show so many times, but this was the first time I noticed that this was a meta joke about Fox shortening their season.

And Ron Howard was that narrator.

@@comfortscalling😮 holy shit hahahaha I love how I keep discovering shit from this show and it just makes the rewatch so much better

i loved that part when i saw it

I haven't even watched the show and I still found this funny.

I kept rewinding it because it was too funny to not want to watch again.

Abed: Assalamualaikum Troy: Shamalamadingdong 👊 One of my fav bit in Season 1 episode 13, Comparative Religion

Its no payday rap

TBF it's possible, the Russo brothers can probably get permission too make whatever they want after endgame

Also, Gillian Jacobs with LOVE

And the Russos also made a movie for Netflix recently, they just have to get Donald Glover and the movie is very possible

Think bigger please #7 seasons and a movie!

The biggest hurdles to climb for a theoretical Community movie are not getting Netflix (or whatever other service) to pony up the production budget and distribution, nor is it corralling the primary cast at the same time for it (& yes, I'm including Donald Glover in that sentiment, even though he's already produced two more albums and written a movie in the time since I started this paragraph). Hell the Russos have even made it pretty clear they'd happily produce & direct it. BY FAR the biggest detail that fans seem to be sleeping on is Dan Harmon knocking out a feature length script. Sure, it's very likely a few of the series' other big writers would also be involved, ultimately it comes down to being Harmon's baby. He's talked about this a couple different times now, for one he's veeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrry skeptical (especially all the more time's now passed) he'd be able to cook something up to high enough quality to feel worth doing it. He's terrified of it sucking. But just even on the more practical side, anyone who knows much about how Harmon works knows he doesn't typically finish anything even close to quickly. He procrastinates like a motherfucker. And, in tandem with that same point, he's still got lots more of Rick & Morty he has to crank out for the foreseeable future. Trust me, I'd never be so happy to wind up being so thoroughly wrong about everything here, but I kinda don't think I will be. I fucking adore this show beyond reason, but I made peace awhile ago now with not ever getting a movie.

Very well said

Yahoo Screen was flawed from the start. They signed no major studios or production companies to get content and they only produced a handful of their own original content. No streaming service is going to survive with that. The business model was just absurd. Unlike Paramount, Peacock, HBO Max it didn't have a huge back catalogue or a broadcast tv station or cable channel to also carry the content and it didn't spent anywhere near the money Netflix, Apple or Amazon did to produce a large array of original shows. And this video is wrong when it says Community alone cost Yahoo Screen $42 million. That $42 million was what they lost across all their original shows, just not Community.

Pure facts. Lots of streaming services come and go and add nothing worthwhile to the world. Yahoo was a washed up nothing at this point and if the streaming service existed just to give us the 6th season, it was worth it.

The biggest tragedy with season 6 is that we only had Frankie and Elroy for so little screen time. Despite their short appearance, they were really fun and interesting characters, Frankie especially.

@@redbone9553 yeah the strength of the actors (and writers) really shows in how they both fit into the cast so well. same with johnathon banks

youve made me very sad, i did not know season 4 was the last :(

Should have stopped after season 2 tbh.

@@bencollier6432 your opinion. I find myself wishing there were more cause i find the concept fascinating

@@BleedingLiar17 it is but don't you find they are dragging it out with random backstories and side plots that we don't need? And that the whole test they do in season 4 regarding whether humans can improve is irrelevant to the actual finding that the society with live in has rendered the point system ineffective? Lots of big ideas being lost in dragged out episodes

@@bencollier6432 you're very right about that. I also feel like theyre scared to take risks with some concepts. I did feel like season 3 had unnecessary side plots which diverged from the plot. I also found eleanor and chidi always being torn apart starting to get quite frustrating, which now makes me glad it'll end in s4 because i dont think i could handle it happening for a 4th time. I kinda wish the first seasons were longer, it'd help adjust to all the new characters being added but it's a comedy I guess. Cant expect more plot there. I did like the point system being rendered useless tho, i guess i like watching characters get frustrated and finding out that there's more to the plot/world than the characters are aware of

Not Your Mom what is funny is that when Troy leaves to get the pizza in “Remedial Chaos Theory” that is the darkest timeline. The foreshadowing is real.

@@ShirleyG10 that's so true, I hadn't thought about it.

troy is a superior character. i love him

he was huge in the childish gmabino scene a year before he left tho...

Wrong. Troy was there in season 4 and it is the worst season by a mile. Donald Glover, while very talented, was NOT the key to Community’s brilliance

I fully agree. I’ve seen so many amazing sitcoms, but the first two seasons of Arrested Development are actually perfect. It’s not my #1 sitcom, but I think it’s genuinely the best

I don’t know. The best comedic writing to me has to go to it’s always sunny. They have the most laugh out loud oh shit moments in my opinion. Modern Family also really have decent episodes with some great jokes and really well delivered recurring jokes (phil tripping over the step he never fixes but always means to whenever he goes up or down the stairs in a hurry). I know a lot of people on tbe internet don’t like modern family for some reason but the show definitely has great writing

Watching Arrested original run for the first time was like listening to a beautifully composed musical piece. Just a masterpiece

I love season 6, elroy and frankie were amazing, the loss of the shirley, troy and pierce however unfortunate was reflective of life changing. The last episode of the season was amazing, as jeff slowly adopts abeds indulgence into TV being used as a crutch for reality as he's unable to understand or handle it. Until he finally accepts there is no season 7 people change and develop and although he won't be with his friends anymore he still will be able to be happy. He no longer hides behind his cool persona as a way to prevent other from seeing his insecurities and fear of abandonment and fear of no control. Which was shown to him through the group. As well as Annie growing up from a naive young girl into a assured women ready to start her career and abed going out into the world. I wish Brett had a better ending, kinda feel sorry for her throughout however I did love her interacts with her parents throughout season 6 which somewhat explains her actual behaviour but there's no long term development. Glad Jeff didn't get with Annie too. It was too weird for me. The age gap was too much as well as their maturity gap.

I disagree with your second statement. The actors of AD very much wanted to do the show, even earlier, but the entire cast and production staff had so many problems trying to stay “on the air” while maintaining views due to poor broadcasting management essentially. I think they were just tired of fighting and knew it was time to end. The whole team including the actors still speak very fondly and highly of the show and each other.’

Nah, community season 4 and 6 are weak

I’ve never gotten farther than 5 episodes into AD season 4

@rabbitman8535 Honestly, even though Chevy Chase was a major dick, I was still sad to see him go. The main 7 are all vital to the show, and even 1 leaving (which ended up being 3..) can make the show not the same. I still liked it afterwards just not as much as the other seasons

Donald Glover had such a talent for delivering his lines in the best comedic way possible. It makes sense he’s had so much success after leaving the show he was probably the most talented actor in the cast.

@@louis8487 I think they left him long ago.

@@louis8487 Yeah, he's a comedian, rapper, singer, writer, actor, and director.

I know right! The legos today are so forced that they won't even let a blade of grass grow through them.

Seems like the darkest timeline

Yah I don’t think the first episode is a great intro to the show, it literally has a different really generic theme song than the rest of the show and other than Jeff and Britta, the characters are kind of ignored and not realized yet.

Ironically, that actually was the first episode of the show I ever saw, before I even knew what it was. I was immediately pulled in by the multiple timelines thing in what seemed like another generic sitcom at first. I didn't end up watching the full show for a few years, but that one always stuck with me and made me feel it was something worth watching, which it was.

Agreed. Also originally did that. Disliked the show! Recently started the show from the beginning... and loving it!!!

@@greentaigo2552 Especially considering how part of the brilliance and originality of Community is that they almost practically have a serialized basic cable hour long genre-level of mythology... that's put into a half hour network comedy. which reminds me, I genuinely know a certain few people in my life that follow and adore Community and The Big Bang Theory the exact same amount. like, I never even know where to begin in just trying to unpack that notion.

Odd that you say that, since I accidentally, randomly watched Remedial Chaos Theory when replayed on tv years ago - that was what spurred me on to watch the whole series

YESSSSSS! especially the part when he looks in the mirror and says "why does this guy keep staring at me?"

Man you just mentioning it made me laugh out loud. That episode was hilarious. Along with Peanut dean rap are some of the most hilarious moments from the show.

God I loved that so much. “Legs that went all the way to the bottom of her torso,” what a line. Chang was such an excellent character. My favourite episode, personally, would have to be a tie between the one where Abed and Troy build a pillow/blanket fort and then start a war or the one where they make a commercial for greendale. Pillows and blankets is not the funniest or the cleverest but I love Troy and Abeds friendship so much and the documentary format is great, and I don’t think documentary filmmaking: redux needs much of an explanation

oooohhh shit documentary filmmaking: redux is maybe my favorite episode of the whole show. the dean is a hilarious character. i also love intermediate documentary filmmaking, with pierce's beaqueathals @@salem-01

That's actually more common than you think because a lot of shows have their core talent and creative team on three season contracts.

@@katla_phc walking dead

@@Hannah-pr7gqwhile not on the same level as the previous ones I did like season 5, but mostly 6, quite a lot. They did well after losing so many from their cast, and I think the new additions were great.

Chang and Jeff have a podcast called "The Darkest Timeline" and there was an episode in the last few days. Everyone from the cast was on it (Annie, Shirley, Chang, Jeff, Abed, Troy), INCLUDING Dan Harmon. Of course without Chevy, cause no one likes Chevy - he is an asshole. They all seem to be friends and keep in touch, so a movie or a season is not out of the question i think :)

@@herohalv4543I didn’t really like Frankie until hearing the hiring manager say that

You do know the movie is happening though right? It was confirmed a few months ago.

Don’t diss Arrested Development like that, nuh uh. One of the cleverest, most funny shows in its heyday. I’ll admit 4 and 5 were absolutely degrading as a huge fan, but the first three seasons were so absolutely hilarious and witty.

the last season is amazing and some of the best, the only thing that holds it down is the lack of those missing characters and the overall aura of sadness knowing they are gone and that it's almost over.

I've always lowkey resented Netflix for not picking Community up bc I agree. If they had, we'd likely would've gotten like...9 seasons and a movie. I love both of these shows a great deal and glad AD got a second life on Netflix. I just wish Community would've gotten the same.

The 4 most important characters in Community remained. Fact is after the 4th season the character of Troy Barnes had little point. Troy was just Abed's sidekick by season 5. Troy had no reason to be back at Greendale after graduating. Thats why him leaving made so much sense and his last episode was so good. Now, losing the comedic talents of Donald Glover was a big blow.

I found out about it from Watchmojo, it being mentioned in the top 10 TV shows that need to become movies, Star Wars parody episodes, Christmas episodes and out of genre episodes made me curious enough to check it out when I first got Netflix in 2015

i found out about it from the gif of everything on fire

No, I have watched Parks and Rec and The Good Place, I saw some videos on YT about a Community and it was too funny. So I looked for where I could watch it. I got Hulu and watched the whole thing in like 3 weeks. I took my time with my first watch.

@@MissedBandwagon that and the season 5 finale were really well done from Harmon. I think it could be argued that Abed was used as somewhat of a crutch in season 4 to deliver pop culture references in an almost robotic way instead of weaving it into visuals or likewise, and these episodes did well at addressing Abed's tendencies (as did lots of S6!)

They really turned him into a Sheldon type character which gets annoying and boring fast.

i mean that was the gas leak year

i think it's probably because abed is definitely aspergers coded and dan harmon himself has aspergers, so when he was fired, and the new writers were hired, they weren't able to write him properly and he came across super flat

Fr it’s the best show ever

I loved season 1 and 2 but felt season 3 dragged on a bit.

Yeah minus the part where they can’t resist saying the word retarded at least once an episode for like half of it

I remember loving season 4 and feeling season 5 was okay, but the ending of season 5 was really weird. The whole anustart, cinco de cuatro and fake block storyline were hilarious. I am more forgiving than most though.

So true season 4 & 5 aren't that bad but it just had less jokes coz there's less interactions between the primary characters

THANK YOU! Everyone acts like Season 4 is some horrendous monstrosity but I really loved it. It had such a great build up and I thought the end was halarious! Season 5 wasn't as good in the way other one's were in terms of a wacky build up but I thought it was a good ending. All in all it's now one of my favorite shows of all time.

Parks and Rec & Seinfeld. Parks and Rec was just better IMO, if you like The Office, you do you. But Seinfeld is better than FRIENDS all the way and no one can change my mind

​@Ethan you're kidding yourself if you really believe parks & rec is better than the office. That, or you watched p&r first and have a bias toward it. Parks and recreation's humor is so much more explicit in its delivery, like a watered down brooklyn 9-9 (which actually makes it better than b99).

nick da bott Community is also on Amazon Prime

Community used to be on netflix and it’s definitely one of my most viewed shows’ on the platform

Arrested Development is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time but I wish Netflix never picked it up 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hi Me Yeah I wasn’t really feeling that honestly

Community is on Stan in Australia.

Emma Bales Pierce in the first three seasons was an amazing character and possibly the funniest one

Pierce was the best...I only watched it for him...Also chevy is a comedy legend...

As two people have already mentioned, cheavy was the background guy who had a really big role, show felt so empty without him, Shirley didn't contribute much but troy was the end.

I don’t know what these other replies are about. Pierce’s sympathetic moments never outweighed the fact that his jokes and story arcs were consistently one-note and annoying; and Chevy Chase rarely seemed like he even wanted to be on the show. But yes, season six felt off with so much of the original cast gone, and Pierce’s replacement from season five not coming back for season six didn’t help that “off” feeling. It was nice that Shirley made small appearances in the season six premier and finale.

I think Pierce was a really important character whereas i was pretty happy when shirley left because she really annoyed me from the start

i love it when the characters imagining their versions of seventh season. yeah, it's sad to see Jeff left by his study group.

I cried like a little baby. I can’t say it was a good cry because I was genuinely depressed by it but it was... cathartic and final. It made sense and felt real. But it also felt like real friends were going their own ways in life like when I graduated my community college and transferred

The family at the very end playing the board game then realizing they weren't real -- sums up the best of Community for me.

@@maahierabrahams4493 I get it, but I hated that bit with every fiber of my being when I saw it for the first time. It really felt out of place for me.

the finale broke my heart and makes me cry every time (jeff choking out abed is the most raw emotional scene ive seen him in)

Yessssa

Perfectly said!

I think both descriptions apply to both shows

That is genuinely the best way to put it

To me community is like a stoners fever dream.

True. Even though I liked the replacement cast they can't compare to the original cast from the 4 seasons.

I really really liked Frankie. I'm sad we didn't get to see more of her. And Keith David is always great (even if I keep thinking about Gargoyles every time I hear him speak).

I loved Paget Brewster (also love her in criminal minds!), but yeah. Troy was always my favorite character. I don't think they should even bother doing a movie if they can't get Donald Glover for it.

Season 5 and 6 were far superior to season 4 though. Troy was great, but they gave him a great send off before his character got stale.

i loved the replacement cast, but it wasnt the same without troy, shirley & pierce

It’s true 😂

I love both community and friends 🤷🏾‍♀️

Katie Moore i regret not watching until a year ago 😢

I often wish I could forget everything about Community, so I could experience watching it for the first time all over again

@@tresfordays9644 so true

how did a sitcom make me love the characters so much

I had never heard about it before this video

I only want a movie if we get the original cast

I watched season 6 on yahoo screen. It was not user friendly and nothing else of interest was on. I can see why it failed. Thankful it was free.

@@this_is_beanstalk the originally cast minus Chevy. Chevy is an ass.

YES OMG

@@King_Dragmire Well his character is dead, so no need to worry on that. I'd be down to have Hickey instead. And Duncan of course.

It was on Netflix a few years ago too but It didn't have the final season on there. I dunno if it is now but it should be.

Aldo Raine All six seasons are on Netflix. At least where I live they are

I watched community for the first time bc of it being on Netflix, I loved the show

@@queenelizabeth8145 I envy you so much haha, apparently the movie is actually being made. Hope that's true.

It did!! I'm from Greece and even here it generates a buzz right now. The quarantine although tragic, gave them that boost they needed. Hopefully the movie is next

Isaac Jones That is one of my favourite lines from any show ever as well. Another one of my favourite things in Community is later in that episode, when Vicki left the race for president and Pierce leaves because he only wanted to bully Vicki.

Jeff's audition tape for The Real World made me love Joel McHale because he was so willing to make such an arse of himself.

Mine was when duncan put mustard on his face at the dance. I couldnt handle it

I think the line that might be my favorite of the show is in S1 when Annie tells Jeff that, in high school, she was so unpopular that "the crossing guard would lure her into oncoming traffic." That was the first time I was laughing at one line for almost the entire rest of the episode.

@@pance_9912 mine was Duncan at the dance when he put mustard on his face. I had seen JO on LWT before community, and it was so funny imagining JO from LWT doing that

Omg same I didn’t even think of Drew until I saw his name in one of the comments

Wtf neither did i just realised now

You're all lying little fuckers. Stop lying, no you did not you LIARS

Same, I was so confused.

OpathicaNAE oh my god I didn’t even realize until after

Editing on season 4 and 5 is very, very slow. And there's a lot of subtlety with audio in the first 3 seasons. Many finishing jokes have a lower volume and tracked left or right.

Just a little bit in to season 4 now. The main difference is the jarring lack of pace. The original series had intricately written dialogue and jokes that were delivered at breakneck speed. The combination of running jokes and spontaneity was what gave the dialogue layers, and each of the characters’ storylines would intertwine throughout a single episode. The new episodes feel lethargic in comparison

@@rp1455 Yeah I noticed that. Pretty sure I watched the remixed version, but still. You can go a couple episodes and then we'll get back to a character we haven't seen in a WHILE and be like "oh yeah, THIS main character, huh."

Genji I never even heard of it 2 weeks ago and now it’s one of my favourite shows ever

Aaron Keane same. I’m literally binging it and I don’t want it to ever end

Watching it again recently I can't believe just how good the last half of season 6 is. There's some legit classic episodes there. Plus it helps that the finale is kinda flawless

S6 is so fucking good, especially the last few episodes.

I felt slightly disappointed with season 6, I think it's because there were less different episodes, or if there were different genres editing did not show it.
