Community: 10 Reasons Why Season 5 Is MASSIVELY Underrated

10. Dan Harmon's Return As Showrunner

If you binge-watched the entire series of Community from start to finish, you could be forgiven for not noticing the tonal shift between seasons three and four. A majority of the characters are still on screen and the adventures of the Study Group still continued.

But if you watched season four through the lens of knowing that series creator Dan Harmon was not around, you are guaranteed to spot some inconsistencies. The cracks showed in the fourth season, and if you have time I implore you to read into Dan Harmon's firing from the show and his reactions - you might argue that his exit was in some way justified.

But nevertheless, Harmon did return in the fifth season as the show's lead writer and it's for the better. The narrative arcs seem more coherent to the characters, there's multi-episodic arcs that resonate with audiences, and the season as a whole felt revitalized.

The show essentially got its heart back with the fifth season. And despite Dan Harmon coming off as not the most pleasant of people, his attitude towards being protective over his show was understandable. His leading return in season five proves series just wasn't the same without him.
