A Blast

Spoiler Alert. I love the bond that the Fisher siblings have with each other during times of trouble. This season is initially very dark, as Nate comes to grips with losing Lisa. On the lighter side, Ruth throws herself at yet another man. The fact that she was married and pregnant at 19 explains much of that, so you can't help but forgive her. In many ways, Claire and her mother start mirroring each other's loneliness, even appreciating what the other has endured. The wedding scene was genius, as was the family bonfire. The antagonist relationship between Arthur and George is a good time, and this season definitely has a few more comic moments than the others. Keith and David are a redundant bore, per usual. The kissing noises between Brenda and her bizarre boyfriend are just too much! Another reviewer also mentioned the noises made while characters eat. It is truly nauseating!!! It is for these reasons, as well as Claire's freaky art world, that I give this season 4 stars. There is some closure as to what happened to Lisa, although it's still vague. The good news is, this development allows Nate to see Lisa for what she truly was, and permits him the freedom to move forward. Great season!
