Review-Season Four Of A.P. Bio Drops September 2 And Is By Far Their Best Season Yet

It just keeps getting better.

This season starts off with a student-born fan fiction club revolving around Mr. Griffin (Glenn Howerton) and Principal Durbin (Patton Oswalt) portrayed in various romantic scenarios with each other and it’s just as gloriously weird as it sounds. The whole school is on lockdown thanks to a tornado lurking somewhere in the Toldeo area so to pass the time until it lifts, the club starts openly reading their latest stories with other students joining in and winging their own Griffin/Durbin love stories until the subjects of their fan-fiction get wind of their student’s new on-site hobby and promptly shut it down, which was really for the best. I mean, no one needs to see Jack and Principle Durbin in Old West-themed tryst while a vaudeville musical sporadically plays in the background. I mean clearly, it should have been a Shakespearean play instead. Moving along.

From there, episodically speaking, we launch into an official A.P. Bio cult headed up by Victor (Jacob Houston) which forms out of Mr. Griffin’s indignation of the new dress code rules put in place by Principle Durbin, we see a faculty member accused of indecent exposure and watch the A.P. class become overly involved in several teacher’s relationships including, but not limited to, the reuniting of Jack with his estranged father, John Griffin (Bruce Campbell .) John supposedly wants nothing more than to leave the past behind and make amends with Jack while also introducing him to John’s fiance Celes (Jet Eveleth ) and her outright unit of a son, Max. Let’s just say mistakes were made. Many, many mistakes.

The season finishes out on a heartwarming note, with Victor (Jacob Houston) falling in love (Love, For Lack Of A Better Term favorite episode), Helen (Paula Pell ) falling in love, out of love, then back in, all in the course of a meal, more of Jack’s backstory comes to light in the form of a beloved pen, and we are introduced to Janet Fist, Rouge Receptionist (Allisyn Snyder) and its just magnificent.

A.P. Bio as a whole is wonderfully weird, extremely well written, but season 4 is an utter treat to get lost in and starting September 2nd can be streamed, along with seasons 1-3, right here.
