The comedy doesn't build to a punchline, it just keeps throwing them at you faster than your brain can process. By the time you're laughing at one joke, three more have already landed. Tennis is completely irrelevant; the show is a delivery mechanism for absurdist gags that escalate so quickly the laws of reality just give up halfway through each episode. If you've made it this far in the franchise, you already know what you're getting, rapid-fire nonsense that occasionally misfires, but when it lands, nothing else on television moves this fast.

Four high school girls show up to their tennis club with the loosest possible definition of what that means. Actual tennis barely gets a look in, and what fills the time instead is comedy. This seventh season of the sports comedy, adapted from a manga, arrives as a set of short episodes. Seven seasons in, the formula remains gloriously uninterested in pretending to be about tennis.
