NBC and Dan Harmon's Community was an intensely funny and imaginative show - but it also brought a thoughtful, layered approach to its characterisation. In this video, we take a look at one of Community's most divisive and complex figures - Chevy Chase's character Pierce Hawthorne - and track his development across 4 (or, kinda 5?) seasons.

Community centres on Jeff Winger, a lawyer, whose law degree has been revoked, and is compelled to join the Greendale Community College. Students of diverse temperaments join his study group which leads to quirky and memorable encounters. Community is an American television sitcom created by Dan Harmon. The series ran for 110 episodes over six seasons, with its first five seasons airing on NBC from September 17, 2009, to April 17, 2014, and its final season airing on Yahoo! Screen from March 17 to June 2, 2015. Set at a community college in the fictional Colorado town of Greendale, the series stars an ensemble cast consisting of Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase, and Jim Rash. It makes heavy use of meta-humor and pop culture references, often paying homage to film and television clichés and tropes.
