BollyMeter7.5/1091% on Rotten Tomatoes for a split season (7 episodes in 2020, 5 in 2021 after COVID disruption) that also marked Damian Lewis's final season - his departure reshaped the show's identity for the subsequent two seasons.

What BollyAI Thinks

Season 5 aired across two COVID-disrupted parts in 2020 and 2021. The split run diminished narrative momentum. More consequentially, it marked Damian Lewis's final season as Bobby Axelrod, with the departure announced in 2021 and the change casting questions over the show's viability. Lewis left behind a performance that had defined the series' moral ambiguity for five seasons, while the back five episodes carried an air of valediction that reads more strongly in retrospect than it did in real time. The season's plotting maintained the franchise's trademark energy, but the central relationship closed rather than opened.

Season Over Season

COVID production split and Lewis's impending departure give the season a transitional quality that the strong RT score only partially conceals.
