This season really was a massive let down. Loved the addition of Faye and the fact that characters like Fez, Lexi, Cal etc got more development but other than that it fell completely flat. Way too much filler, especially in the finale where we saw the same eulogy scene for the millionth time and Elliot’s song took up more than 3 minutes for what reason?

Sam needs to put his ego aside and let other writers on the show because the difference in writing between S1 and S2 is night and day. We’re going into S3 with not only unresolved plot lines from S1, but also a bunch from S2 now too.

Laurie is terrifying.
“Rue, if you screw me, i’ll have you kidnapped and sold to some very sick people. I always find a way to make my money back”
The locks on the doors. (Was there scratching behind one?)
Sticking Rue multiple times to give her track marks (look like a junkie).
Saying she doesn’t have any pills only needles. (Lie)
"From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were going be in my life a long time..."
The birds in the tiny cages.

Why would an experienced drug dealer hand a teen addict a suitcase of drugs… so presumably the plan all along was to traffic Rue. And she made a point of saying Rue’s full name so I don’t think this is the last of it.

Just watched the final episode….

Disappointed!!!!!

they really didn’t need the school play to run into this episode. I really didn’t like it. It took away from what should have been a really action packed finale.

wanted to see far more between Rue & Jules, that was a cop out.
wanted to see more of the fight between Cassie & Maddie and the aftermath of it.
Nate shopping Cal to the police should have been explained more, it came out of left field.
what on earth was that stupid scene with Elliot singing to Rue?!!! Just when I thought he was finished, along came another verse and another chorus! Just shut up!!!!!
the Fez/Ashtray storyline was beyond predictable. It wasn’t shocking or emotionally charged - it was boring and too drawn out.

I’m not sure where they go from here with another season? But that was a piss poor season across the board as far as I’m concerned. Far too much arty airy fairy filler/dream sequences. How many times have we seen the same scenes from Rue’s fathers wake? It’s just taking up time that should be spent on new parts of the story.

The best part of the finale was when it ended so that I could finally cancel my NowTV subscription. What a joke.

That was an excellent episode of television.

Great balance of storylines & characters
Good Rue narration
The return of Lexi & Fez - the hand holding 😍
The Stand By Me film/song reference
Ali acknowledging Gia’s pain: ‘shower that little one with love’ 😭
All of the acting but Sydney Sweeney in particular

That's so sad. He kind of lit up the screen for me when he was on the show, he didn't even need to say much there was just something intriguing about his character and credit to him as he wasn't even an actor to begin with. Hopefully he is at peace now.

Wasn't Fez meant to die in the first series then they writer changed his mind?
the actor who plays ashtray also confirmed that fez was meant to die at the end of this series but they changed it the day before shooting. which, if that doesn’t tell you something about how this show is written i don’t know what does 🤣

Jesus lord - ITS AN ENTERTAINMENT TV SHOW!!!! ITS FICTIONAL!!!!!!! It’s not a documentary- it’s not meant to be accurate to what kids in average high schools are getting up to.

If you don’t like it or it offends you or you don’t get it then just watch something else.

So we get Elliott serenading Rue for what feels like 2 hours but we don’t get to find out what happened with Laurie and the money Rue owed? 🤨 ETA; what was Cal arrested for?
