How did Ruby go from being a shallow mean b... to being someone who deserves better? Now THAT'S character development.
And Blur closing the episode. Ugh. chef kiss
You know what…. Fuck maeve…… I want ruby to be happy and with Otis ….. it’s probably not gonna happen tho
Ola saying "I love you, dude. I love you like a friend." to Adam was so weird. Two episodes ago she had to point out that she's his coworker from the picture. She's the new kid but suddenly she has deep connections with the people around her? I have 13 Reasons Why flashbacks...
I do think it's problematic that Adam used to be Eric's bully and Adam does need a lot of development and learning how to talk about things, but I think I like him more with Eric than Rahim. Rahim seems so... emotionless? Kind of similar to Ola. Ola is nearly always happy and careless and smiley, and Rahim is always emotionless and matter-of-fact. Eric is so loud, bubbly and extrovert that I'm surprised both of his love interests are so the opposite of him. But I feel like Adam could be louder and more open if he actually came out of his shell. We already saw him laughing a few times with Eric and I would like to explore that tbh.
At first I was a bit annoyed that we're at the same endpoint as season 1, but then I realized that Adam's now out of the closet, so hopefully season 3 will move forward with that. (And I desperately need more happy scenes with Adam because my heart hurts watching him.)
The ending with Maeve/Otis/Isaac just annoyed me. I don't really need Maeve and Otis together, but that was such a cheap twist. It felt so forced to keep them apart even longer now, ugh. If they at least decided to stay friends or something, but this was literally "person A confesses feelings but person B never got the message" trope bullshit. Writers need to remember that you can have the main characters be together and still continue the damn story.
I enjoyed this season, but there was too much love triangle and "will they, won't they" stuff. Jean/Jakob/Remi, Ola/Otis/Maeve, Eric/Adam/Rahim, Ola/Lily drama for a few episodes. And Viv has feelings for Jackson now which I hope won't be too problematic. I would like to see more platonic friendship scenes, therapy scenes or whatever. Not everything needs to be love drama. I feel like it wasn't that much and forced in season 1.
I knew that at one time or another I would start to hate this Isaac for real.
I'm still annoyed at Otis's behavior throughout the season, but his voicemail to Maeve was actually really sweet and what Isaac did at the end was a total dick move. Tbh given that Netflix has been canceling their shows left and right, the producers are putting a lot of faith in them with that cliffhanger ending. Nothing has really been resolved in a satisfying way, so if we don't get a season 3 it's gonna be awfully disappointing.
Also, Maeve's mom is literally the worst ever. Fuck her. I'll miss seeing Maeve with Elsie too, they had such a cute relationship.
What the flying fuck just happened?
"It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go." lol, Peggy kills me.
The jabs at Venezuela were brilliant.
I was very nervous to watch this last episode because I feared they would force Otis and Maeve together the last minute. I'm glad they didn't.
I just hope they don't ruin it next season and make some silly excuses for them to break up with their current partners so they can end up together. They have a good thing going with the relationships they've been building during this whole season and, even though they might like each other, doesn't mean they are right for each other yet.
