A Guardian review in March 2023 gave it 5 stars and this is an excerpt of the piece: “Whereas earlier seasons ended by trying to subvert our expectations of romcoms and white male privilege, the conclusions of seasons three and four both seem to have been freed from the need to mean anything at all.”
