Every season, this cringe comedy about a hospitals extended-care ward takes the least amusing subjectsmedical bureaucracy, petty co-workers, end-of-life preparationsand makes them laugh-out-loud funny.
In its third and final season, the series is still brilliantly droll, elevating the most mundane moments into something thats either hilariously awkward or genuinely movingor, at its best, both.
While Dr. Jenna James (Laurie Metcalf) recovers from her hospice scandal with increasingly suspicious behavior (suddenly shes pushing an anal horn on patients who dont need it), a suave new doctor (Grant Bowler) from New Zealand threatens her job, and the staff argues about who is responsible for cleaning up vomita surprisingly nuanced running gag thats also a smart critique of unions.
