      Audience Member Really entertaining and such an easy watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review moviereviewerc u Consistently hilarious. Most shows don't do that. Solid cast performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The first few seasons of the show seem to just keep improving on each other while moving along even smoother and funnier every time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I mean how cynical do you have to be to check if this season isn't a let down. It is perfect! Just like the prior ones. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season was a step up, and may be my favorite season of the series! I do feel like the first two were a bit more like what the show is/should be, maybe, but it's still good, and not too far off! I had a lot of highly rated episodes, because it raised the average episode rating! I also never got to have any not freshly rated episodes! Also a lot of consistently good streaks! Maybe I'll do my favorite episodes of the series in the last/final season review! This was supposed to be written yesterday, 9/16/17, but is being written today, 9/17/17.!
