Honestly I wanted to quit season 5 after 4 episodes. So boring it was. I didnt care about anything that was happening. I was shocked and angry that they didnt create anything interesting for last season. Whole plot with Lyte and Inventing Magic Pill was impossible to watch.

But then... then.... they introduced zombies. The first time they hinted that zombies will arise and world would end - I couldnt believe. From watching 4 stupid sad millennials, wondering around life, not knowing what to do with themselves..... Into world ending apocalypse. It was too good to be true. I was afraid they would chicken out and not go there completely.

But they actually did!!! )))) It was glorious.

Yeah we needed more zombies on TV...

Season 5 went completely off the rails but finishing it off with zombies was the final nail in the coffin. The whole season was like a slap in the face to anyone who bothered to follow the characters for the previous 40 episodes.

It looks like they didnt expect to stay on air for 5 seasons and didnt know what other obstacles to create for characters. Even Dory’s abduction in last season was stupid and went for too long. But it was well acted and there were truly funny parts in that season.

But they dint know where to go from there. So they put Dory in psych ward and then made her obsessed with creating that stupid Happy pill or whatever they were doing. And it was going on forever. I was relieved when zombies arrived because at least something interesting started to happen.

And all dark humor vanished. The only funny part was when Elliot swapped the pills and those idiots went into happy mode thinking they were all enlightened. That was truly funny. And when Elliot said that his ego-mania saved them all.

What was with that creepy adoptive son I dont know. It was idiotic and served no purpose to show. Looks like they had to give Eliot his separate storyline with boyfriend and this is what they came up with.
