What BollyAI Thinks
Season 4 premiered February 17, 2022 and recovered to 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, a meaningful bounce from Season 3's 79%. The ensemble work around Shalhoub and Borstein was again cited as a structural strength. Critically the season was read as a course correction: tighter in structure, more precise about what it wanted Midge's journey to mean.
