Great addition to a great show, especially when watching it consecutively. The ending is heartwarming for fans of the show and satisfying even if a season 5 doesn’t come out.
Each season has it's own flavor. But this one is by far the most complex, sweeping, and imaginative. This would have a 10/10 if the budget constraints weren't clear in the largely static flashback scenes.
It is incredible how every event in the poor receding 4 season all add up to an intricate and compellingly layered narrative. Each group of four episodes takes on a different focus on a small set of characters, slowly revealing the larger tapestry which unfolds across the season.
It's great. A solid 8. I can appreciate the continuation of adult-themed storylines. It's refreshing to see the heroes actually struggling with their lives.
Such a shame to see how far this show fell. They even made something worse than season 3. Ignoring the politics (which is very hard to do) this season like 3 is structured like a mess. First is an arc dealing with prejudice on Mars which we already knew from the first 2 seasons mixed in with Superboy and Miss Martian's wedding with the Legion of Superheroes thrown in. Like we needed another team to keep track of in this mess. The arc ends with Superboy's supposed death and you'd think it would lead to the original team coming together to mourn for their friend but, instead that's only lightly touched on in the next arc which focuses on Artemis' family issues, whether or not Vandal Savage's daughter is a traitor, Orphan and Lady Shiva, and flashes back to Batgirl getting paralyzed which makes no god damn sense because how did they explain to Gordon how his daughter was paralyzed. Next up is an arc in Atlantis where nothing of note happens. Then we go see what Zatanna is up to and I forgot what happened as I watched the arc except for the fact that Connor is alive in the phantom zone. After that we follow Rocket on New Genisis where a race bent Lor Zod is trying to free his race bent father General Zod from the Phantom Zone. Only then is when the team decides to try and find out if Connor is really alive. See what I mean? This show is so disconnected and hard to keep up with now. Each episode also has smaller b stories like Beast Boy's depression which is odd considering Miss Martian is the one who lost the love of her life, Rocket raising a child, Halo's identity and search for religion, Geoforce's country, and other stuff like that. All this is taking away screen time from the characters who were there from the beginning. One example is when Nightwing gathers a team to go into the phantom zone. Seem's simple enough but then we cut to Halo wanting to rekindle the relationship from season 3 only to decide to settle for the blue haired girl I forget the name of. How did we get from here to there and how will these stories connect? They won't because it's just so much of a damn mess that is impossible to keep up with now. The only positive thing this season did was give Razer from Green Lantern the animated series a more hopeful ending. Yeah, he showed up for an episode because this show is so uninterested in its own characters.
