Although off to a bit of a rough start with the first season, like lots of shows, Aggretsuko struggled to find their footing. But by the end of the first season, they had me hooked. Then the second and third seasons had my eyes glued to the action from start to finish.
The fourth season - honestly - was terrible. But the fifth season made up for it with better writing, although the series finale felt incredibly rushed, abrupt and unsatisfying.
The comedy and writing is what truly sells this show. How it's able to balance relatability with excessively ridiculous and unrealistic situations is nothing short of excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed how the relationships were handled in the first few seasons in particular.
Despite these shortcomings, Aggretsuko is honestly worth the watch. Especially the first three seasons, but perhaps not the following two.
