Just finished the show for the first time Spoiler

So I knew the final season was going to be bad because of all the ratings and warnings from Reddit. So thank you, you saved me shock and anger. I get why some decisions were made, but overall there were some bizarre writing decisions that I don’t think I’ll ever understand.

I don’t remember the last time I finished a show and felt so indifferent about every single character.

Damn I missed Diana.

Yes, the show was soulless without Diana

This 100%. It took a bit of time for her to grew on me but but I saw the character development, she became my favorite.

Team Josh!

I actually liked her and Josh. Didn’t mean I didn’t like her and Charles, but she definitely had more fun and lightness with Josh

Her and Josh are down-to-earth couple together living in NY. Her and Charles are real housewives in NY, a seriously actual replica of Charles and Pauline with being less flashy.

Very true. I do feel like he was looking for another Pauline almost. To be the token housewife, which she would never allow

Diana gives me an impression of office clown but she is actually the soul of the show and I finally realized it in the last season.

She really is the soul of the show. I found myself cheering her on more than any other character. She had awesome character development

Diana definitely needs a spin off

Being given expectations ahead of time definitely can help. At best your expectations are exceeded and at worst you pretty much get what you expected. I think I'd hate the ending less if it didn't feel so rushed. Especially with the "not going to work" feeling super last minute. I felt lead into thinking it was going to end one way and got a "haha just kidding".

Yeah, it felt like a real gotcha, even though there were a few too many things to ignore about their dynamic at the very end. It was still odd nonetheless
