Community, “Basic Crisis Room Decorum” (CREDIT: Yahoo! Screen)
This review was originally posted on Starpulse in March 2015.
The Audacity of Hope
In its earlier seasons, “Community” distinguished itself among typical sitcoms with its determined focus on character development. The study group was various forms of broken, and Greendale was positioned as a place for them to work out their issues and become better people. The show followed through on this determination in a way that was deeply satisfying. Six seasons in, “Community” is still concerned about allowing its characters to grow, but it is also intent on emphasizing what works best, and that can mean maintaining the status quo. “Basic Crisis Room Decorum” found itself squarely within these crosscurrents. Major developments were looming, but they felt like conflicts that had played out many times before. Ultimately, though, this episode succeeded by getting deeper into the emotional truth of these situations than ever before.

Community, “Ladders” (CREDIT: Yahoo! Screen)
These reviews were originally posted on Starpulse in March 2015.
“Ladders”
“Weird, passionate, and gross”
“Community” season premieres have usually made sure to cover what has happened behind-the-scenes since we last visited Greendale. In Season 4’s “History 101” and Season 5’s “Repilot,” that meant winkingly commenting on all the personnel changes that had occurred. With an actual cancellation and a subsequent move to online streaming, “Community” would now seemingly have the most to say about its recent transitions leading up to the Season 6 premiere. But “Ladders” pretty much jumped right in exactly where Season 5 left off. An exact time frame was not specified, but with this episode opening with the Dean thanking the Human Beings who saved Greendale, it could not have been too long after “Basic Sandwich,” when that actual saving took place.
