Well, them, let's see who this season article stands up compared to the last review I did - the season finale. Still not seen the show so again I'm neutral to its promotion.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Very well written. Prose style is informative and to-the-point.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   I see nothing to contradict the MOS.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   Sources are plentiful and inline citations are common. My only concern is that they aren't used in the lead - what you say is sourced when it reappears in the article though, so it's not lacking a source, but it does seem a bit off that the first major citations are further down the page. Nothing big though, it's mostly an aesthetic thing.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Plentiful reliable sources.

   C. No original research:

   No OR, everything cited and backed up.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Provides everything a reader needs to know about the subject whilst avoiding cruft and non-notable details.

   B. Focused:

   Stays on-topic and doesn't meander.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Article maintains a neutral stance.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Article is stable and uncontroversial.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   Images are used appropriately and all check out for fair use.

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Images are used suitably and are clearly captioned.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Overall, there's very little I would change about this article, other than the aforementioned inline citations in the lead. As such, I'm going to pass this as a Good Article, and would recommend working to bring it to FA standard as it could feasibly achieve this.
