Synopsis
You can watch Sealab 2021 Season 5 online on iFILM — the eighth-and-final-run of episodes that closes out Adult Swim's deep-sea cartoon where nobody does any actual research. This season 5 is the show's last.
There's still no through-line; every episode invents its own rules. Sealab turns out to be sinking because it was built on an old burial ground, an eccentric trillionaire named Max Stone buys the station and somehow runs it better than the crew ever did, and Quinn and Stormy get trapped in a cave with ten minutes of oxygen while everything burns. The finale is a spoof of those gushing TV reunion specials — which, naturally, falls apart.
Eight episodes, fewer than the runs before it, and the send-off fits the show: no lessons learned, plenty of pitch-black jokes. Stream Sealab 2021 Season 5 online on iFILM.
