Kevin P @RT55971421 4d Overall, this is a messy, but ambitious final season that was plagued by rushed storylines in the final stretch thanks to executive meddling at the request of homophobic audiences. But thankfully, the highs of this Season are some of the highest in the entire show and there’s still a lot to be admired. That being said, the Steven-only perspective leaving a lot of dangling plot threads and character arcs uncompleted (Lapis, Jasper, Bismuth, etc.). The misused pacing from filler and rushed resolutions and conclusions thanks to executive meddling prematurely ending the show and not giving the Crewniverse enough time with the constricting 11 minute episode runtime and limited number of episodes remaining. I love the exciting climax payoff with everyone coming together to face White Diamond in Change Your Mind. It’s a shame that the Diamond Homeworld arc was rushed. But man, the final payoff is still emotionally powerful, and the season still left a great impact on me. See more Andrew V @RT65009833 Mar 18 I love this show so much. The ending makes me cry to think about. I know people hated how rushed this final season was when it first came out, but I had access to all five seasons and had no idea the ending was rushed. I watched it from beginning to end after everything was completed and I believe this is a perfect TV show. The themes stick the landing so well and the final encounter is terrifying, but cathartic. If there were more shows like this when I was a kid I think there'd be a lot more love in the world now. See more Layne A. @poisontree Jan 9 This show has a very fantastic concept. But its potential is mostly wasted. What I love about this show is the songwriting, its overall concept, the lore, and the characters. However some of the episodes of this show are straight up cringe and corny. It feels like the story wasn’t completely thought through before it got picked up by Cartoon Network because some of the episodes are extremely weak or rushed. Perhaps it’s partially Cartoon Network’s fault because they like filler, and decide how many episodes a show can get. But if you have an idea this good you shouldn’t let it be held back by a studio so that it could reach its full potential. Also I know animating is extremely hard but they couldn’t even keep the heights of the characters consistent it was so noticeable. Like Steven is 14 years old how come in season one he was tall enough to reach the kitchen counter but in the late seasons he needs a step stool? Like character designs are supposed to be locked in when you start the show you can’t just randomly change what they look like in the middle of the series because you suddenly decide it would be “cuter” another way- unless something happened in the story. I also wasn’t a fan of the glorification of life and birth when clearly Steven is suffering because of what he was forcibly born into. Season 1 is 100% the best season in my opinion because it’s consistent animation and least cringe episodes.

Still, the season remains stable and they're delivering an acceptable level of quality. Good season, bad team behind it. See more Read all reviews
