HD Version More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Community Season 4 All Critics (39) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (26) | Rotten (13) In its final -- and they will be final -- episodes, Community isn't terrible. It's just terribly pointless. Sep 16, 2013 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Still defiantly Community, still good and still uninterested in adding new viewers. Feb 6, 2013 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic The real stewards of this season are the cast. Even Chevy Chase, who slagged off the show during and after his time on it, is on form for the parts of the season where he actually shows up. Jan 14, 2019 | Full Review… Mark Harrison Den of Geek By and large amiable and interesting -- if oftentimes frustrating. Jan 11, 2019 | Full Review… Cory Barker TV.com It's safe to say that if Community does go out with season 4, it won't go out with a whimper, but with a bang. Jan 11, 2019 | Full Review… Ethan Anderton ScreenRant The weakest season of the show, for sure, but on the whole it wasn't as bad as I originally feared... This one's amusing enough to qualify as a win. Jan 11, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Collins Birth.Movies.Death. 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. Jan 14, 2019 | Full Review… Ben Gazur Guardian Top Critic It's become a jukebox musical version of itself, endlessly spinning its greatest hits to a crowd that grows smaller and smaller until it finally disappears. Feb 7, 2013 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Emily VanDerWerff AV Club Top Critic 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. Jan 11, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Joe Reid New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic It echoed the way things used to be, but in a perverse way that suggested the damage done might be irreparable. Jan 11, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review… Josh Gondelman New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (39) Audience Reviews for Community: Season 4 Jan 04, 2015 An unbearable season in an otherwise brilliant series. It has some saving graces, but nothing that can shine through the mass of crap heaped on viewers. Gimly M Super Reviewer May 06, 2019 Perfect example of a network killing a show Dec 04, 2018 Awesome! INspector Space Time! irving l Nov 15, 2018 Community flounders a little without its creator, but once season four gets into its groove, it's enjoyable enough. Brad Y Sep 11, 2016 It was inevitable that the series should lose steam. The gags are fewer and farther apart, the space between them filled with exposition and overdone events. Vasco M Oct 24, 2015 The only funny episode was the first one, from there it was like watching a complete different series with the same actors. Mark R Jun 02, 2015 Definitely the weak link in the series. The absence of Harmon hurt for sure. That being said its still funnier than most sitcoms and pushes the character development a little further. Mike T. J Apr 07, 2015 Behind the scenes drama resulted in an unfortunately weaker season than the three that preceded it, but the playful energy and kooky characters still have endearing charm that keeps fans on board. Andy P Mar 06, 2015 Why, NBC, why? You had a terrific show on your hands, so why did you fire the creator and showrunner? Its still good, but man, did it take a dip in quality. The characters are still there, and they are still funny. There are some cool premises for episodes, and some great one-liners. Everything just feels off. The show doesnt have the polish of the last three seasons. This is what happens when the creator, showrunners, and executive producers all leave in one fell swoop. I like History 101 and Herstory of Dance from this season, but its not inventive enough to get a more in-depth review from me. James S Oct 10, 2014 En liten tröst när jag sett alla 6 säsonger av Parks and rev på några sjukdagar. Denna är inte i närheten av så bra som den men absolut ett okej tidsfördriv och knäppskön för det mesta :) Josefine L See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
