Living Single was expected to end with Season Four. But FOX renewed the show for a 13-episode fifth year: a postscript that’s ultimately a blotch on the series’ record, as undesirable cast changes disrupt its consistent quality — and so close to the end too, making everything here feel unnecessary. Indeed, this is easily the worst season — the first half is all about setting up a new and less well-conceived “status quo” following the events of Four’s finale, and the latter is all about working towards the series’ simultaneously sped up and drawn-out endgame, featuring a truncated and unideal configuration of the ensemble.
