We need to get better as a species at pretending certain seasons didn’t happen. Season 5 of The Wire, Season 3 of Homeland, anything after All Along the Watchtower in BSG etc

The thing about season 5 is that it doesn't stand up well to the other seasons, but it does stand up reasonably to most other television; I'm not sure it's quite in this category.
> Season 3 of Homeland
Oh, what a downer that season was. On the other hand, Homeland Season 1 was one of the best bits of television I’ve seen.

The last season of Homeland I thought was incredible. It felt like everything pushed to the extreme. Overall great show.

Honestly I just skipped it having seen the IMDB reviews. I’ve watched all the others and it’s one of my favourite shows.
"Community" made their lost season part of the show's lore by having the characters refer to it as "The Gas Leak Year": https://screenrant.com/community-season-4-gas-leak-year-expl...
