Surprisingly old school in the most annoying ways, with rather little action this time. There's fat shaming (supposed to be funny); there's some animal suffering with indifference on the part of the characters; there's sexism, harassment, verbal abuse, plus the clichés of female characters using 'girl problems' as an excuse, and being pointlessly manipulative. Ugh. There's an overemphasis on attraction/romance. There's anti-adult conspiring/snottiness. The cigarette smoking is frequent, unnecessary & gross. For male friends, apologies that express understanding come immediately from other males. For female friends, if apologies come at all, they come with denials, excuses, and dodging from males. This season felt a little tired and lazy in terms of writing/plot.
