Critical

edit

Reviewer Carrie Raisler of The A.V. Club gave it a B+ and said "[d]espite the abject nature of the final episodes of season four, despite all the stories that held no interest and seemed like a waste of time, I decided to give the show another chance. After seeing the premiere—although I still have reservations—I’m glad I did."[3]
