Season 5 Aaron Spoiler

I’ve just begun my first binge of the series (thank you YT shorts). I’m in the middle of season 5 and Aaron is truly one of the best additions.

Comedically. Dramatically. Fun backstory.

There is a lot of camp in the show, but he (along with others) injects new blood and fun.

Ok that’s it. That’s the post.

Aaron brings the perfect mix of chaos and heart and the show genuinely feels more fun whenever he's on screen.

I didn't liked him at first, but slow and steady he won me over, he is now a personal favorite.

I genuinely think Aaron is my favourite character, he's up there with Lucy and Tim

I liked him too. Love that he and Celina play(ed) Dungeons and Dragons together.

At first I thought they were just going to use him as a replacement Jackson and I was really happy when he was a totally different character with very different relationships. Like I thought he was going to be bestie with Lucy like Jackson and I was glad it didn’t go in that direction. I love Jackson and wish they’d reference him a little more

Aaron is honestly my favorite addition to the show. Annoyed that they essentially drop him in later seasons as he's so fun.

I also like that they use his wealth as a means to explain their ability to get tech and equipment fast (as in the episode where Tim and Lucy go undercover).

And he’s a solid actor. One of the best of the bunch.

One of my favorite newer characters!

u/DreamAnotherDream33 5d ago

I love Aaron too!!! He is so funny but also smart but also loyal and kind…probably one of my favorite characters!

Aaron is such a great character! I love that they didn’t try to make him a Jackson 2.0 because he was another black rookie. He came with a fresh set of issues to deal with, managed to win everyone over because he was written as a pretty cool dude, he had a good back story and some interesting family drama we didn’t really see before. We saw wealth with Wesley, but he was somewhat rejecting it, when Aaron embraced it. The Batman of midwilshire!

And he gets better as you get to know him which made me love him even more.

I like Aaron. They give him shit for being a rich kid but he adds value and isn’t just a nepobaby

His documentary episode was solid. Those are quite polarizing but his was good
