Finally finished my binge of this show. While it certainly didn't remain consistent the entire way through, I must say that I always enjoyed watching it. There's nothing like getting lost in the world built around characters you love and that's what this show does. I think by binging it I was able to just sort of get through the shittier/dumb storylines, not really having enough time to truly pick it apart. The one thing I will say is that the first 4ish seasons were some of my favorite seasons of tv I've watched in some time. It was just so raw and real and emotional there for such a long time.
I did think this most recent season was really solid, especially at the end. Some of the acting in the post-Monica scenes are among the best on television, especially from Emmy and William H Macy. Either way not having this show to watch is definitely going to leave a void in my life
. Onto the next show I guess!
