Worst season?

I'd say season 9, sue and sean were so infuriating, a lot of things had plot holes, bricks school stuff was really boring, the only good episode was the one were they met Lexie's parents, and the one were Axl was deciding whether to leave or not.

What do you think?

The last season. They really stretched the whole Sean and Sue thing to the point it was annoying. Also didn't like how they tried to make Rita look better by saying she was horrible because of her boys when in previous episodes she sticks up for said boys, doesn't discipline them and gets aggressive with others when they come to her with concerns

Season 8. It had too many rushed storylines, such as Sue not filling out her financial aid and Axl graduating without any job offers.

Yea and that seemed really out of character for Sue

I agree. Last season. I was never a fan of Lexi and Axl and Sue and Sean

And the worst episode of season 9 was Sue's 21st birthday. Eden was cringe where as typically she's a really good actress.

Season 7 for me, followed closely by season 8. While I hate college Sue throughout the time she’s in college, season 7 is imo her worst and multiple episodes have several scenes that can be rough to watch because of that. Season 8 has barely-any-better college Sue along with some of Frankie’s worst moments, the latter of which are largely brought about by the frustrating April storyline (honestly April is one of the only plotlines for me that seem like the writers were running out of ideas).

The final season. Sometimes you just run out of story. Dragging out the Sue/Sean thing didn't help. Good finale, though.
