Honestly, the most recent season wasn’t that good. Allison’s character arc was awful. She just hurt everyone around her, going as far as raping her brother Luther and getting him killed, but it’s all set aside and forgiven because she’s “grieving.” The parts with 5 or Klaus were enjoyable, but the rest really wasn’t.

I liked number five and his storyline. If the show was mostly that I think it would have held up better. And anytime David Cross gets money is good for me.

I mean the show is basically Five and his minions. I think that’s why it works so well and has as many seasons as it does. Amazing actor.

Its really a shame they put out the last season the way they did. Covid really fucked it and the whole season just felt silly and pointless. It kinda seemed like the showrunners even knew it wasn't a good season lol. But yeah Five is what has kept me coming back to the show, and the last season he had literally the only good arc with maybe Claus with his alt-universe father

Yeah whenever I realized it was going to be another “Five fixes everything in one season” thing again I was kind of disappointed.
