“Parenthood”s” Season 5 finale felt out of whack with the season as a whole
“'The Pontiac' is a ‘F*CK IT!” finale,” says By Todd VanDerWerff. “By that I mean that it has barely anything to do with the season that preceded it and hopes we don”t really pay attention to that fact. But on its own terms, as a wrap-up to some other, better season, it”s pretty terrific.” PLUS: That was a tearjerker, and “Parenthood” isn”t as good when given a full season.
