The haters need to calm down! They only wanna hate this show because it's popular. You can like mainstream things without being basic.

I think each season shows the continued growth and maturity the characters develop. Season 4 wasn't full of as much goofiness as past seasons. It has more of a dark, serious adult tone and I can appreciate that effort from the writers. The script has emotion without being cheesy. It bounces around from story to story but it's easy to follow and it pays off in the end when the dots all connect. The score and cinematography are top notch as well.

Overall, this is truly a standout series. Worth the watch and worth all the hype.
