umm, gee fuxx, where do i even begin? it's beautiful. i loved it. can't think of a single bad thing here. fishes, forks, and the bear were definitely standout episodes: peak tv along with review from the last season.
the very VERY long one-shot in the finale: ohmygod absolutely exquisite. the tension can literally be felt off the screen and the sound design when they enter and exit the kitchen UGH wonderfully executed. i loved carmy's arc with claire even tho i was lowkey rooting for sydney coz of that one post i accidentally saw that said "carmy falls in love with syd as she falls out of love with him" (but i was happy w the moments they got together this season i.e. that fixing the table one-shot coz i do see the connection between them. watch me read those fanfics when i'm done w s3). and forks? richie's episode? man, i completely understand why ppl loved that. it was refreshing and nice to see richie being richie but also better and happy, and when he takes over the expo in the finale and puts what he learned and observed from his staging to use? beautiful. and bro, that hour-long christmas episode—holy shi. best i've ever seen. the drama, the chaos, the tension: lord. michael still remains a mystery and i genuinely am curious to see what exactly it was that he struggled with. kudos to punisher guy for portraying him so well too. i'm glad his story wasn't a one and done with the first season and that he still haunts the narrative ykwim? sydney's struggle is also very relatable and yes, i would also crumble under the pressure and anxiety in a situation similar to what she was facing in the finale, but glad we all pulled through innit.
i like how the season embraces all the technicalities involved in going through such a big change and opening a business and also only 3 months to do all that? uff, they're superheroes indeed. phenomenal season, truly. chris storer really knows his vision and what he wants to do with it. great show made by great people. excited to see if s3 holds up coz it has more episodes than both seasons combined (edit 2025: misinformation baby u're blind). lessgoo.
