If you don't know where to go, go where you're needed.

Shoresy S4 — 3.5/5

With the loss of Jacob Tierney behind the camera, the first few episodes started to feel like a lesser version of itself. The cinematic language was part of the success of the show, and in the course of finding its footing, it stumbles. It threatens for a bit to be the worst of Letterkenny, just catchphrase-spouting hooligans, riding on what worked before, but as with every season thus far, it surprises you with how deep it's willing to go. By the end of the season, my criticism of those earlier episodes fell away, and Shoresy, as it always does, finds purpose in something larger than itself / himself.
