This series gets the essential boyishness of male relationships in White culture and the almost sexual jealousy of not wanting to share ones best friend with another man. The male bond is a rare one and often self mocked here as crypto homosexual, yet you cannot truly have more than one best friend.
Moreover, there is a warm blooded humanity at work that deals with people qua people - without the quintessential falseness of Political Correctness. Additionally, this season makes more fun of the White tendency to judge others solely by appearance than was previously the case, especially when those others are in any way different – culturally, religiously, physically or nationally. The drama thus delves into such issues as disability, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual preference, etc. This makes for good tragedy and comedy that is – paradoxically – as diverse as the fictitious legal firm here (Crane, Poole & Schmidt) is not: An ironic comment on such non diversity.
Although running out of ideas now - given that some are repeated from the first two series - this is still superior tv that deals with real world issues in a funny, realistic and engaging manner.
