Season 5 is a tough act to follow considering, aside from My So-Called Life, it's the only season of television I've ever been riveted to my chair. So when season 6 first aired on TV, it paled in comparison to the depth of season 5 and I quickly lost interest in this campy season and stopped watching all together. Now, watching season 6 at a later time and basing it on it's own merits, I find it rather likeable and fun to watch. But I think I realize also why it was so hard for me to watch back when it first aired. Everyone in this season is so damn miserable and filled with inner tragedy. Everyone is going through so much and since you feel, at this point, that you are a part of these characters, you suffer right along with them. There are some truly great moments in this season and it is definitely worth a second chance.
