What BollyAI Thinks

The show's final season recovered to 87% on Rotten Tomatoes as critics graded it on a farewell curve. The documentary-within-the-documentary conceit was an elegant structural move that gave the cast a reason to reflect, and Steve Carell's surprise cameo in the finale was an earned grace note. The 25-episode count remained longer than the season required, but the final stretch - particularly the last three episodes - demonstrated that the writers understood what the show had meant, even if they had lost track of how to make it great. The finale drew 5.7 million viewers and landed universally positive reviews as a proper close.

A genuine recovery from Season 8's collapse - the show found its emotional footing for the ending even if the middle twenty episodes were uneven.
