Featured review
A decent send-off
After everyone's plans seemed to have ended up in the air and everyone is roughly back to where they started, a plan for something uplifting and communal comes from an unlikely source: the Skids. Stewart, Roald and co want to go back to their roots and put on a dance.
I was never a huge fan of Letterkenny but enjoyed most of the humour. It peaked in the middle seasons - the season where the hockey team won the championship was probably the best, for me. Since then it had been on a downward slide with the last three seasons or so being a bit of a chore to get through.
Part of the problem was that there was room to introduce a decent dramatic element to proceedings, but these came to nothing. Many of the plots seemed set up for a great emotional or poetic moment but then reverted to low-brow sort of stuff.
For example, when Jivin Pete starts working for Wayne, I was thinking this could be a nice redemption story. That thought ended when Wayne bullied him to such an extent that Pete left. Then when Wayne confronted him and Pete gave his side I thought Wayne might see how he was in the wrong. No, what does Wayne do? He calls his friends and beats up Pete and his friends, making a permanent enemy out of him. It's as if the only way the writers know to resolve anything is to have a fight scene. I guess that works for lowest common denominator types who the writers must figure are the target audience.
Here though, we do have a decent sentimental ending. There's no great plot development but there is a feeling of community and camaraderie, at last.
