Summary.
Season one = 9/10 Season two = 10/10 Season three =9/10 Season four = 6/10 Season five = 8/10 Season six = 7/10
This show is one of my all-time favourites. Self-aware and clever and always making jokes (so many and of such quality that you sometimes miss them). Season one feels like a standard, albeit quirky, sitcom but season two really ups the stakes and hits a rhythm which continues into season three. The first three seasons are sublime (25, 24, and 22 episodes each) while things definitely drop in season four (13 episodes). The writing improves in season five but they've lost the Pierce character and then Troy so the dynamic just isn't there. A real shame because the writing is so good. Season six is hit and miss and feels like it's trying too hard but when they get it right, it's really fantastic.
This show deserved a bigger audience and reputation. I'll put money on it that it will eventually be rediscovered.
The stand-out character is Abed but all the other regulars are great (Shirley never interested me but she works in the ensemble). I especially like Jeff, Troy, Pierce and Annie.
Of the secondary characters the obvious stand-outs are Chang and dean Pelton (so good, they became regulars by season three).
Honourable mentions for professor Duncan, Leonard, Garret, Magnitude, and Vicki.

By the way Flying Monkeys did you ever get round to this. Apparently, it's on Netflix in April.

How many times do I have to tell you that I don't have or want a Netflix subscription and I have zero interest in TV series?

Giving you a little pat on your head for your efforts is not me expressing genuine interest. Sorry to deliver that crushing blow to you.
