What BollyAI Thinks

Season 6 posted a 76 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, the second-lowest of the run, with it playing more like a setup season for the finale than a complete dramatic statement. The Byz Lat gang storyline extended the Farmington world, and the Strike Team's new configuration after the losses of Season 5 gave Walton Goggins's Shane Vendrell a more prominent role that would pay off in Season 7. Audience scores stayed high, reflecting an invested viewer base carrying through the transitional material. Higher ratings pointed to the Shane arc and the show's consistent visual and performance quality.
