what happens
The fifth and final season picks up the morning after Sydney, Richie and Natalie 'Sugar' discover that Carmy has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them. With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they'll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant "perfect" might not be the food, but the people.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. In the last stretch it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“When he dropped the plate you could feel it but after Richie came in with the save. Carmy recovered and handled it amazing. Previous season Carmy would've lost it here. The most important dish or so he thought and he blew it. This was the biggest sign of his growth and change.”
