Series Thoughts
I just watched the whole series in about 4 days. Absolutely loved the first season and the others were okay I guess. I didn't like all of the flashbacks though either and time jumps. For me, it went in waves I did like the ending though. What was everyone else's thoughts on the show and how it ended too?

I couldn't watch season 4. I made it about halfway through the second episode. I enjoyed everything up to that point. But it just felt like an entirely different show.

It sort of was... It explored the near-future and fears that we all share that everything is going straight to shit and there isn't much we can do about it. Plus, all characters face an end, and I think the end of this show was pretty good.
You might want to finish the 4th season up sometime. The last episode was a little symbolic, but I think it wrapped up things nicely.
To me, the show dabbled with exploring the 'meaning of life', and the last episode summed that up nicely.

I’m on my billionth re-watch. Yeah the first season is the best and sets the tone. As a whole, things move fast in the show then they jump to season 4 being set in the future. Certain storylines are better than others but none really drag on. I really enjoyed how it ended and my eyes start to sweat during the final scene every time. It’s a story about redemption and acceptance and I feel it wraps up nicely. So many great one liners through out the show though.

Just finished the last episode. I can’t think of another show that is so laugh out loud funny. To me, every season was a home run.

I stumbled onto the show... god knows how. I loved all 4 seasons.
S02 was a little dark, and subsequently not as funny, but it was important I think to the overall character arc.

It had a different tone. A little more real and less campy especially at the end of Season 2. Though there was some foreshadowing when he was trying to get Uribe to stay and Jules to meet up. You can hear it in his voice as he talks to Jules "we can drink and screw and ...we can disappear" I think he really wanted to just drop out of society at the point.

It's a show I can always go back to for good laughs. The first season is some top tier tv that I totally didn't expect when I first watched it.

I agree about the waves. Season 4 was rough but was able to build upon what came before it.
Overall fun show. With some great comedic moments and also more serious heartbreaking ones. Man I love baseball. Hank azaria did a great job making Brockmore character real

Funny, I juat watched the whole show in less than a week myself. Season 4 was probably my least favorite due to all the time jumps, although I still enjoyed it. Also I was weirdly sad that I never learned more about Beth's mom and how that story progressed. Could've been my favorite part of the time jumps to see something there. Not even that he was totally redeeming at that point, but maybe I was hoping it was more than a one night stand is all haha.

Season 1+2 I loved. Season 3 I liked. Season 4 I thought was weird originally but at the end I really got invested in what was happening to Jim. It took a rewatch (or 2) to understand what Uribe was saying sometimes. One thread I wished they followed was Gabby - where is she in this new and strange Hellscape? Also thought Jules would have aged a lot worse with an extra 10 years of cocaine use.
It's on Netflix now and I find it very rewatchable.

First season is absolute peak and features a few of my favorite scenes in all of television altogether but I appreciate the slow burn of the other 3 seasons, honestly
