I was pretty meh about the final season. I wanted to love it, but it felt really uneven to me, super-fan-service-y, and the characters felt like they'd become caricatures of themselves. I did love Trent and his mentoring of Colin and crush on Ted. I personally enjoyed Rebecca's surprise fantasy encounter in Amsterdam, on a superficial level. I found all the Roy-Jamie stuff hilarious because it felt so fan-servicey. But I couldn't find the coherent heart of the season, and the preachiness, weird pacing and loss of focus on the team as, like, a football team just made it not work. (I'm not even into sport! But I spent the first half of the season going, "why even have the rest of the team, if Zava's going to win all the games?") Plus, spending three seasons building up this tight-knit family only to dismantle it at the end was sad. (LOL, now I want them to have ended with Ted facetiming the team, like he spent the rest of the show facetiming his kid.)

Ah well, I'll always have the first two seasons.
