My no spoiler take on Season 4.

It is a welcome return to the family dynamic and dysfunction of seasons one and two, with call backs to each. They did a good job of tee-ing up what was going to happen and when if you’re an insane person like me who’s watched the show a million times or if you’re normal and just pay attention. Liza was absolutely correct to say that it’s a season of reckoning — and like all around. Pretty much everyone in the main cast has their day.

As for Sydney and Carmen, it felt like being edged the entire season wrt them having (or not having) the discussions they needed to have. And while that was annoying for me on a personal level, it’s honestly very true to life and not a bad writing decision. Unlike S3, this felt focused (in terms of getting us somewhere new narratively) and there was a lot of character growth. We get some stunning insights into Sydney’s life and her family, as well as her conflict over the Shapiro v Carmen debacle. And honestly, that makes the finale all the more heartbreaking for her. Especially because you can see just how much Carmen believes in her, when he doesn’t believe in himself and she doesn’t believe in herself.

Genuinely don’t know what the fuck season three was about now that we have season four. I almost feel like we could’ve just gone from two to four. I blame streaming services.

If you’re looking for an endorsement, I’m giving S4 a 7.5/10 and most of what’s taken off can be blamed on streaming services loving ten episode seasons and my pettiness over how long I had to wait for catharsis wrt Sydney and Carmen talking to each other.

If you’re looking for sydcarmy brainrot takes that’s a separate post, but the writing acting and directorial choices continue to paint them as twin flames. Regardless of where they end up romantically, the two of them are bound even when they’re apart. Business as usual.

Carmy you are retiring with what money nigga???????????? Arggghhhhhhhhhhhh??????? Stay at home husband??????????

See I wasn’t necessarily wrong, but I wasn’t necessarily right either lolololol

With the new season coming and the prospects of there being another season after that, there is a chance that sydcarmy won’t get together this time around (officially that is)- and that’s okay. This season is about keeping the place open, and to do so these two need to get to a point where they can work as a united front- which, by what’s presented in the trailers, we will be getting throughout the season. It’s about rescuing a thing that is seemingly going to shit; as well as evaluating whether it is worth rescuing, and this can apply to the restaurant, Carmen’s interpersonal relationships as well as passion. As the question looms- whether Sydney stays or goes: their dynamic this season will be them building their relationship both professionally and personally (cause now she’s deeply within his immediate circle, she literally meets and has a conversation with his Mother. They are no longer just co-workers, they are also family). It will revolve around the tension of rebuilding a relationship that seems to be on a rocky foundation- hence Carmen constantly telling her how he doesn’t want what they have built to be chaotic or to fail. But this rebuilding and deciding on whether to save something also revolves around his other relationships too (Richie most importantly, and then on the romantic end, Claire). On top of that, now we know it also concerns his motivations. Also, they seem to be taking it back to the basics- so for those of you who rewatched S1, make a mental note of all of their conversations and moments. Remember their dynamic in season one from start to finish- specific things he has said, the openness. I feel like what we are going to see is them get to a place where they are almost somewhat in sync, and reach a point where they seem to be nearing a chance to break a cycle only for that victory lap to be threatened by a myriad of factors (doubt, fear, self sabotage, the fact that Sydney literally has another partnership deal in her pocket). While we might not get Sydcarmy this season (as a couple that is- we will still be getting them as this messy codependent entanglement), this will perhaps be a season where both of them openly acknowledge what they mean to each other and what they need from one another- but as we potentially have another season to go, that acknowledgment might not be enough to get to that desired endgame just yet. Storer and friends are clearing a path. So we will have our Sydcarmy this season, but not in the way we want them just yet.

And if this is the last season… well those last two episodes are going to be insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Few more hours to gooooooooo… I am hoping for the best.
