I wrote a review back in 2021 when this show was still airing on Nickelodeon. It is now 2023, and the final season of Power Rangers has been released on Netflix.
I have got to say... I didn't actually expect for this final season to be pretty great. Though, there is things I would have liked to see.
Turning Ollie evil for most of the season was pretty amazing, and the suit they give him is top tier.
Amelia being promoted from the pink ranger to the first female red ranger was a great choice because even before they received the new suits, she was giving amazing advice in hard times for the team.
Billy coming back and actually being a mentor was pretty good, Mick being back and becoming a ranger once again was a good idea. Heckyl as well, finally becoming the Dark Ranger was amazing! I do wish Heckyl got a full on morph sequence though.
Zayto's story actually got me teary-eyed the first time watching, oh my goodness.
Fern actually becoming the first ever female orange ranger. An orange ranger! Sure, we had others, but they were either in a dream, or they were orange accents meaning they weren't technically official, this was the first ever ORANGE ranger... (If only Nickelodeon kept the broadcasting rights, it would have been the perfect marketing strategy considering Nick and the orange theme to it... lol)
Some things I would have liked to see?
1. A full team roll call. The only time they have a roll call in the new suits was in their debut episode and I wanted to see Zayto and Fern have a full on roll call, they had the pose and explosion in the opening sequence with a green screen, they couldn't have it in the actual episodes?
2. Longer episodes. Like I said with number one, they had the option of making the episodes longer, they were on Netflix! But instead they kept them the regular length. Even having an extra minute.
3. Better finale. Look, I thought the finale was fine, but the battle in it was pretty underwhelming, in my personal opinion. I was hoping for more, at least an extra explosion here and there.
All in all, this season was a pretty good and satisfying season. Really re-watchable as well, I feel like watching the series a third time at this point.
