Season 4 isn't all that bad
This is as I'd bet a highly debated topic in this Reddit but I just wanted to add my two cents. I'm rewatching the show for the second time five years on, and it's changed for me. Season 3, the show felt like it was stagnating, it's great, but there's feeling of a drag to it like I felt last time. However, opposed to last time when I watched season 4 and reading all the hate online and my opinion being skewed, this time I actually enjoyed it. It progresses the characters more than any season, and it sticks. Jeff changes in little ways, and his relationship with Pierce becomes kinder. There's still the usual antics, but the characters feel like they've changed slightly for the better. No other season feels like this to me, and season 5 just kinda brings them back to how they were. 5-6 are better per episode, but I like how in season 4 they decided to have the moments in episodes where the group learn actually stick, which I actually wasn't a fan of in previous seasons. Anybody feel the same?
