Certainly my least favorite season of the series thus far, it just feels like its trying to hold on but the loss of Mike and Rachel is felt even more than I expected and the new season regulars largely can't fill the hole left by those two leaving. The exception being Katrina, who has been around the longest as a side character and I really love her. Alex and Samantha are ok. Mike and Rachel weren't necessarily my favorite characters in the show (that title still belongs to Louis), but the show was driven by Mike for so long and I find myself missing him a ton, and I think the show struggles without him. This season is just painfully forgettable and almost nothing grabbed my attention or peaked my interest. The finale was probably the strongest aspect. The conflict was perhaps the biggest we've seen since Mike was on trial, and Zane has a great character arc that ends on a very bittersweet note that I actually really enjoyed. But it is also a conflict that got resolved pretty quickly, yet again. Season 5's arc with Mike on trial remains the only major story arc that they spent proper time on, really. But, as I've said before, when you invest enough time into a show and its characters you're going to automatically be invested and entertained no matter what, and that remains true here for the most part.

5.8/10 -- Decent
