Urn-ed Run
studioAT25 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode does everything that 'Go On' has done well across its twenty two episode run.

It has funny moments, it has sad moments, and is able to walk an incredibly thin line between both in a way that never becomes sentimental or dark.

This would sadly be the the last episode of 'Go On', and while we don't get resolution about Sonia and Danny, or Ryan and Carrie, it does feel as rounded a final episode as you can imagine a show getting when it doesn't know if the end of Series 1 is the end full stop.

It's difficult to see why this should didn't run for longer for Matthew Perry. It had no glaring issues like 'Studio 60' (as much as I love that show) and that quality was better than 'Mr Sunshine' or 'The Odd Couple'.

Ultimately perhaps people didn't find much to laugh about in a show that was set in the world of grief therapy.

For me though I loved it, and will rewatch again and again as I do the previous mentioned shows.

Go On Urn-ed Run

The first season of NBC comedy Go On comes to an end where all the group members seem to get to a place of happiness where they all have accepted their problems. This season finale was funny to me because it was a great use of all my favourite characters such as Sonia, Lauren, Anne and Yolanda all getting their funny moments to shine. The group in the episode split in have to help Lauren try get back to being a good counselor while Ryan had to finally let his wife go. The best moment of the episode was the final one with all the characters around the fire as they all accepted their problems and let them burn which included Lauren who no longer is the normal one with as many problems as the rest of the group. I admit the episode was good but it was no where near perfect. The season overall was a nice first season with some standout performances from Perry and White making the season overall enjoyable with depressed people being funny. The flashbacks to Ryan's wedding scenes were OK to name a few.

EPISODE GRADE: B- (MVP: Matthew Perry)
