Admittedly I haven’t watched the final episode yet so maybe it is the worst thing ever made for TV, but beyond the first season the show has always been pretty poorly written and cringe. Season 5 has lived up to expectations and reputation in that sense, I’m not really sure why people are getting this invested in it.
Yeah they started off strong, but declined with each successive season. I did watched the fourth season because for whatever reason I thought that would be the final season. Just kinda felt like it was past time they ended it. Even with the decline felt like I wanted to see how it ended.
Then I was really surprised when it didn’t end in the last episode of Season 4. Haven’t bothered to watch the actual final season. They should’ve ended it with Season 1. If not then end it with Season 2 or 3. They definitely should’ve ended it with Season 4. Still would’ve considered it a decent show. That show really overstayed it’s welcome.
Season 5 actually starts off better than I expected but peaks at around the third episode and gets increasingly Marvel and cringe from there. The characters also have to constantly explain the plot to the audience in these recurring “plan” scenes because until now the show has done such a poor job of explaining why any of the supernatural and superpower stuff actually exists. The writers backed themselves into a corner where the only way out is to infodump in every single episode of the final season.
As has been the case with previous seasons, the main reason to watch is for the individual characters who generally remain quite likeable. In particular, Will finally gets a big role in this season and not just the usual weak, tormented boy thing he’s been stuck with until now. He’s finally an active participant in the story, making decisions and influencing others instead of just constantly needing to be saved/protected.

I watched Season 1 a few weeks before 5 dropped. The difference was stark lol
