KJ Apa sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

There is a reason The Last Summer keeps coming up in conversation. The Last Summer does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run.

The timing in The Last Summer is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
