But what the season lacks in consistency, it makes up for in courage. The finale, which finds the gang reuniting for a disastrous talent show performance of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (played entirely on kazoos), ends on a quiet note of acceptance. They realize they are growing apart, and that’s okay.

But somewhere between the "pillow talk" with sentient pillows and the musical numbers about vaginal discharge, the show has done something remarkable. It has grown up.
Gone is the safety of the Bridgeton Middle School locker room. In its place is the "Social Lyceum," a bizarre, Gilded Age-inspired private school where the rich kids are already doing coke and the guidance counselor is a 400-year-old demon. The move forces Big Mouth to ask a question it has deftly avoided for years: What happens when your support system collapses? But what the season lacks in consistency, it
