#odd squad

so i made a odd squad school au but not really. its just the drawing... idk what to do so uhh here

how would you fix seasons 4 and 5 of odd squad?

do you hate end of the road?

There are quite a few reasons why Season 4's story was bad. One of the most glaring ones is the fact that there is hardly any buildup to it. We get one little tease in the season premiere, as is standard, one mention of a transfer in "A Dicey Situation", and then...nothing until the finale itself. We don't even get foreshadowing bits for Ozzie like, say, Otis shivering whenever ducks are mentioned or Olive screaming whenever she sees pie. 12 episodes just isn't enough for this franchise to make a good mystery with a satisfying payoff, especially with all of the side characters it introduces and OSUK S1 in particular having seven main characters that could have been fleshed out a lot more. I can understand why -- it's mostly British which is famous for short seasons like that, plus the kids TV industry as a whole being as perilous as it is right now, PBS Kids' whole deal with Trump and his minions notwithstanding -- but that doesn't really make it right. I stated before that it'd have been better if this season just had no storyline and was just fun filler episodes, and I'll stand by that. The story is what makes the show stand out and is what draws people in. Some attempts just miss the mark. This was one of them.

The same also applies to Season 5/OSUK Season 2. If Asha Soetan and Alexander Shaw are growing too old for their roles, fine. They can be written out of the show. But to take the focus off of them, especially when the season premiere and finale primarily focus on them, is disrespectful. To beg for a third season/Season 6 by having two characters suddenly appear and take over the show, even more so. They are, in my eyes, industry plants. They were put there so people desire a season with them, nothing more, nothing less. It would be somewhat of a decent decision if they had distinct personalities, but they don't. Omni was going strong in her debut, I really liked her, and then they fumbled the bag by next episode. Osric comes off as more of an audience surrogate, either with the main demographic or the entirety of the PBS Kids section of the office. I don't expect Season 6 to be any better. I expect nothing and I will still be let down.
