Well written. Really enjoyed the development of the four boys.

Chris and Snoop are great new characters.

But the season finale offered nothing in the terms of closure.

Are 4-5 considered a continuous season, story-wise.

I think Season 1 + 3 are a complete story.

Season 2 is a standalone story.

Season 4+5 are a complete story.

They intertwine in many parts and characters from each season pop up here and there. But for major plots that's how I saw them falling.

no

it's more like

1-3 = 3 act drama of amazingness

4 and 5 were essentially sequels that hit some similar high moments, but lacked the development of story and characters

Not sure how you can say that about 4, considering the entire season was about those 4 kids.

They were exceptionally well developed.

I'll start 5 in a few minutes.

4 had some amazing character development, I thought.
Mike, Randy, Dukie, and Namron were very well developed.

They started to develop Chris a bit in his dealings with Mike's brother's Dad. That shite was personal. . .and he NEVER gets personal.

I hope they flesh him out a bit more in season 5. He could be so much more than a robot.

4 is the best of the series imo. 5 is the worst. But by "worst" I mean the 5th best of the series because that season is still better than almost anything on tv.

This is my favorite season, I would say a lot of that has to do with the finale episode. Just watching what happens to each of the four boys and that final scene with Bubbles makes me want to
