the FINAL season, oohhhh boy. damn, it feels weird to rate it coz it's a feel-good show, not one of my critique projects lol. i watched the finale w my friend ananya and wasn't really in the zone to process this on an emotional level, but that finale was the perfect bow to wrap this experience up. one day, i wanna just sit down and binge all 18 episodes in a day and experience this roller coaster altogether.
from 16 to 18, this show does hold a tiny special place in my mind for the feelings it evoked in me. season 1 remains my favourite, and all the little callbacks in the final episode were so special. it made me happy. and wille breaking the 4th wall for the final time, looking all happy for the first time fjdjsksk man this show>>. lisa slayed. was lowkey scared august was gonna unalive himself coz w that open ending and him sorta realising that the royal life ain't all it's cut out to be, it's looking BLEAK for him. ik ppl kinda hate him but damn if he isn't the best written character in the show and makes me wanna hug him and wish happy things for him. i'm not excusing his actions but he's actually regretful for what he's done so i'mma be a august apologist. sorry folks, this guy needs to be studied in How To Write Morally Grey Characters 101—he's undeniably my favorite character. FELICE MY GIRL! I'M SO HAPPY SHE RODE OFF INTO THE SUNSET WITH THE GANG. SHE DESERVES ALL HAPPY THINGS. and wille: i theorised before starting the season that he'd abdicate and i'm grateful he did so for himself coz i've had enough of seeing this poor guy suffer. simon and wille otp 4 lyf. and i kept getting mad at simon for putting fuel to fire by reading his socmed comments and posting things like BOY STOP IT. at least he didn't talk to the journalists. anyways, good season. it was slay (don't fuxx in the hallway kids).
