When fast-talking lawyer Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) finds his degree has been revoked, he is forced to go back to school at Greendale Community College. Hoping to score points with a pretty coed, he invents a study group and invites her to join it. Imagine his surprise when she's not the only one who shows up for help with Spanish from the "board-certified tutor" he proclaims himself to be. Though his command of the language is anything but good, the members continue to meet and end up learning a lot about themselves.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite some behind-the-scenes drama, the fourth season of Community manages to retain the playful energy, potent humor, and kooky stories the show is famous for.

The worst thing that can befall a show happened: they made a puppet episode. And then they went and made the puppet show a musical. Go to Full Review Joe Reid New York Magazine/Vulture 01/12/2019
2/5
It's incredibly strange watching Community play it so safe... Community can't quite seem to remember how to be a regular sitcom without resorting to being a typical sitcom. There's a difference, I think. Go to Full Review Josh Gondelman New York Magazine/Vulture 01/12/2019
1/5
It echoed the way things used to be, but in a perverse way that suggested the damage done might be irreparable. Go to Full Review Scott Davis Flickering Myth 08/12/2024
Like Scrubs before it, Community has no shame in ripping up the sitcom rulebook, and staying fresh, whimsical and new. Lets just hope the new guts at the top don’t exit the “Dreamatorium” and into the comedy darkness. Go to Full Review Eric Langberg Slashfilm 08/12/2024
Like the show itself, Chang seemed to be wearing out his welcome in Season 4. Go to Full Review Liam Gaughan Collider 08/12/2024
In particular, the explanation of the group’s secret history together in “Heroic Origins” leaned into the exact generic worldbuilding Community had always pushed against... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

German R. @Big_German_Review Oct 21 Why the hate for Season 4. I liked it. Where's the problem? See more Sabrina T @RT54220662 04/23/2024 I personally liked episode 1, episode 9 (puppets), episode 12 (origin story) and one pay-off of the Oktoberfest storyline. But that's it. The rest was either boring and unnecessary (like the whale and Brittas party) or it had some potential (like the Halloween episode) but the writers were too scared to take it to the next level. They played it very safe which is just not at all what Community stands for. But the gas leak joke in season 5 nearly makes it worth it. See more Pablo Y @Pablo1996 10/06/2023 Aunque no alcanza las cotas de genialidad de sus predecesoras, la cuarta temporada cumple y nos trae más de ese humor absurdo marca de la serie. También destaca porque es la última temporada en que aparece el elenco original al completo. See more Max W @MaxthorWoo 10/06/2023 Even without delving into behind-the-scenes news, you can notice a decrease in screen time for some of the main characters. Despite this harsh reality, Community's Season 4 still delivers the same warmth, richness, and joy as its predecessors. See more Benjamin S @RT39122148 04/23/2023 The gas leak year still has a few good episodes. Not many. See more Regal R @RT96555783 01/05/2023 80/100 - the 4th season is where the show sort of falls off. it gets a little old and tired. still entertaining to watch but doesnt grab you as much.
