'Trying' Season 5 Review: A Quiet, Earned Celebration of Family and Togetherness
A review of Season 5 of the Apple TV+ series 'Trying', which follows Jason and Nikki as they navigate life after finally adopting two children. The season shifts focus from the struggle to start a family to savoring time together, offering a quieter, more reflective tone that makes the most of its hard-won togetherness. The review praises the show's gentle humor, authentic performances by Rafe Spall and Esther Smith, and its ability to find depth in small, domestic moments.
Key quotes
I hate it when the couple we've been rooting for the entire movie suddenly can't communicate properly, or struggle to overcome a secret's sudden revelation, or breaks up for some dumb reason just so they can get back together in time for the happy ending.
The show has always been about the trying — the effort, the setbacks, the small victories that don't always look like victories from the outside.
What makes Season 5 work so well is that it trusts its audience to appreciate the quiet moments, the ones where nothing dramatic happens but everything important is being said.
