Home Movies Season Four

The weakest season but still very strong. Leans harder into film parody than previous seasons, which isn’t bad but I prefer the simpler plots. The finale is by far the best in the season. Brendon realizing that he only makes movies out of habit and then accidentally destroying his camera is the perfect ending for his character. It’s not a traditional, Hollywood conclusion but it works because it’s honest. Every episode starts and ends in a weird place. The series itself starts and ends in a weird place. The characters subtlety go through arcs that start and end in weird places. It’s unsatisfying but it’s realistic and honest. A Trojan horse of a cartoon.
