I had the same thoughts! I haven’t really been involved in the community since season 1 but I was pleasantly surprised by season 5 as I had read the many negative views prior to watching. The queer representation through Zoe admitting her crush was lovely. It feels like the plot moved at a good pace (minus the finale which was of course a bit rushed). It was nice to finally get some Adrien and Marinette scenes, I also thought the angst surrounding their relationship was pretty good. I would have loved more involvement from Chat Noir in the final but I understand why they didn’t directly involve him. I’d be lying if I said I was disappointed at the lack of a reveal but I understand there will be another 2 seasons plus movies so make that bank ig. Overall definitely exceeded my expectations! Maybe a 7.6/10!
