The fifth season tells of strong and different events during this dramatic and comedy series. The season opens with Jimmy trying to prove that, although he is about to become a married man, he has not lost his ability. On the other hand, it seems that Edgar and Lindsay are trying to go on a real date, which may be a development in the new relationship.
Cribbing heavily from movies like High Fidelity, Notting Hill, even Weird Science... and somehow garnering an appropriate, heartfelt emotional response when the time is right.
What I will tell you is that this show, which for years took every possible stab it could at the callow selfishness of its characters, ends up embracing them with empathy and understanding.
It's scathingly funny, but also acutely sad. Though the show is mostly rooting for Jimmy and Gretchen to get over themselves and make it work, it also doesn't run from the idea that neither can be their best so long as they're with the other.
