Well after that god awful season 4 I actually didn't mind this season in some aspects but I also found myself starting to grow a real sour taste in my mouth towards this show.
It was great to see Vince actually having to go through the trials and tribulations of a real actor. I would've loved to see him taking acting classes, doing theatre in queens, really trying to own his craft. With the exception of one scene in the finale with Vince throwing his phone, you just got more crappy acting from Adrian Grennier who seems to only be able to play stoned out mega actor as Vince.
I was super excited for the vince/eric split up and thought it had a ton of promise but instead it smelt of another Doug Ellen Entourage Episode that looks like the ending was created at the last second before it aired. Bill Simmons wrote a great piece on this right after the finale. About just how unimaginable the storys have become and almost an insult to anyone actually in the entertainment/performing arts.
Season one and two had such great promise but since then it's been all downhill IMO
