When fast-talking lawyer Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) finds his degree has been revoked, he is forced to go back to school at Greendale Community College.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 did repair the broken show was bringing Dan Harmon back to fix its mistakes, revitalizing it from fan fiction into the show we used to (and now again!) love. Go to Full Review Dan Van Winkle The Mary Sue Aug 12, 2024
Overall it was a solid start and was a second pilot exactly as promised, but the episode that aired after it certainly got to have a lot more fun. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

German R. @Big_German_Review Oct 21, 2025 I liked the new members. Jonathan banks is great. I hate when stars leave the show. I understand for Yvette Nicole Brown. Firing chase for R jokes like come on See more William N @RT77126758 Dec 23, 2024 Hurts that they lost characters, but so much development of the others makes it a must watch See more Lee T @Shoopuf May 20, 2024 The show goes downhill as soon as Troy leaves, forcing new characters to fit just doesn't work, why are they all the sudden friends with the weird ass off putting forensics teacher? An episode to explain that would have been great. SO much of the writing and choices feel like too much desperation and not enough quality. See more Max W @MaxthorWoo Oct 15, 2023 Starting from Season 5, some of the regular characters gradually depart, and to maintain a balance in character interactions and narrative density, new characters are introduced accordingly. While audiences might not be entirely welcoming of this change, what Community excels at is ensuring that each character has their own path, and they may one day return to the Greendale family. See more Pablo Y @Pablo1996 Oct 6, 2023 La vuelta de Dan Harmon se hace notar con el retorno a la esencia humorística del elemento sorpresa resultado de mezclar el absurdo caótico con la comedia inteligente. No obstante, esta temporada da síntomas evidentes de agotamiento, en gran parte debido a la ausencia de Chevy Chase y Donald Glover -cuya marcha de este último hace que el personaje de Abed pierda fuelle-. A ello hay que sumarle el hecho de la reducción drástica del número de episodios (igual que a la primera le sobran, a esta le faltan), aunque si bien es cierto que el ratio de buenos episodios se resiente en esta penúltima temporada. See more Benjamin S @RT39122148 Apr 23, 2023 Community returns to it's absolute amazingness after the bad season 4. See more Read all reviews
