Whatever the extend that the camera’s existence intervene the performance of those people, it makes me to believe those “actors”, believe their pain, confusion, loneliness, weakness and also their happiness. That is some kind of truth. Truth can be intervened and released.
The last season was bit weak and slid downhill one episode after another, don't remember there was a formal final either...but it has been a good show for a while before then. Simon is back on CBS in fall. Good but won't be enough to make me keep watching
