Community Season 4

Right now you can watch Community Season 4 on and — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Joel McHale's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Community Season 4 is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Community Season 4 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Greendale Community College continues to attract an odd assortment of intellectual "seekers" in the fourth season of this sardonic sitcom. Joel McHale and Gillian Jacobs lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2013. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Community Season 4 holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Community Season 4 is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Joel McHale anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
