My personal choice for the most underrated season would be Season 15, although I don't really know if other people really hated it that much. For all I know the general consensus could be that Season 15 was great. Anyway, I liked Season 15 for some of the ideas it tried. I especially liked the idea of an evil version of the Reds and Blues, especially with the opening of the season during the bombing, which was pretty good at getting me interested and is probably one of my favorite beginnings to a season. While I feel most people at least think Temple took things too far, I feel like his motivations are pretty reasonable considering he's the counterpart of Church, who is really angry during the Blood Gulch Chronicles. Imagine if, say, the whole Church and Tex being AI reveal never occurred in Season 6 and the ship in Season 5 had been shot down by Project Freelancer. Tex dies for real, Church is upset, and then skip to the revelation in, well, Revelation, where the Reds and Blues learn that it was all practice. I could see thing playing out similarly to what happens in Season 15. The analogy doesn't quite work exactly right, but it's pretty close. I also liked the relationship development between Grif and Simmons, the twist(kind of) where Temple locks Wash and Carolina's armor and leaves them to die was pretty chilling, and the cliffhanger of Wash getting shot in the neck nearly stopped my heart(not really), in a good way.
