My favorite seasons have always been 5-8 and 11. I prefer the show when it’s episodic and not serialized, and think 20 and 21 are easily the worst seasons. But surprisingly, during my last rewatch of 19, I started coming to terms with it also being a favorite on that list.

I’ve always liked it and thought it was easily the best serialized season, but I’ve liked it more and more every time I’ve watched it. Despite being fully serialized, every episode still works on its own and has a different theme involving the gentrification of the town. As a whole, I think the season feels like an ultimate takedown of modern woke culture that a significant amount of thought and effort was put into. In My Safe Space is also a fucking banger.
