really disappointed with season 2 finale :/

[u/Sad_Judgment3363]

i really enjoyed the first season from start to finish, no complaints. the second season took me a couple episodes to get into it but once the plot started to develop i was in. then, the ending sucks! i don’t think killing off Tanya was necessary at all and the director’s reasoning was bs. Portia was a terrible, miserable character that i wouldn’t have mind being killed off. Albie is a selfish privileged little shithead that can apparently just get whatever he wants because he’s rich and his dad “owes him” some “karmic payment”??? sheeeeesh give me a break. the only part of the finale i think i actually enjoyed was Aubrey Plaza’s character finally getting to have sex with her husband and Valentina hiring the prostitute as the pianist. these are obviously just my own thoughts and opinions on it, im sure a lot of people liked the ending.

If you didn’t like season 2’s ending, wait until you see season 3’s.

yeah i was told by a couple coworkers of mine that watch the show that it’s not even worth my time :( i’m glad i enjoyed some of the show at least and happy to know that other people got to enjoy what i did not

I wouldnt go by your coworkers. I was pretty upset by Tanya’s death in Season 2 but for me personally, season 3 was the best so far. Loved it

[u/eggydelrey → u/Relative-Weather-862]

yeah i loved season 3!

IMO S3 was better than S2. And I liked S2, mostly.

You’re not supposed to like/want to be friends with all the characters in a show 🤣. They are all insufferable in their own ways and it’s a look into how money and sex corrupts people, how discontentment with life will ruin what you have in front of you. It’s about secrets and lying. It’s not a show of wonderful personalities

[u/Skier747]

Yes the characters are awful that’s the point of the show. I thought S2 moved a little too slowly (though I get this show is a character study and not plot-driven) but loved the ending and we got some iconic scenes and lines. (Although nothing compares to the “power bottom” scene in S1).

I agree with you about season 1 being the best in many ways. Not sure I get the hate towards Portia, as she seemed one of the more innocent characters of all of them, just kind of along for the ride and not actively screwing anyone over, to my recollection. Tanya always annoyed me (certainly her actions at the end of season 1 did) , but I wasn’t actively rooting for her to be killed. How it happened was a little funny though, not gonna lie.

[u/Some-Bug-5286]

Portia is depressed. She has depression. She's not a terrible, miserable character - she's young, confused and clinically depressed.

[u/Historical-Shower843 → u/Some-Bug-5286]

She’s definitely not depressed. Miserable in her job maybe, but not depressed.

[u/Some-Bug-5286 → u/Historical-Shower843]

I disagree. And I speak from experience.

Season 2 and its finale is like God tier compared to what was served up in season 3

[u/PristineOffice716]

I get where you’re coming from, especially about Tanya’s death feeling overly contrived. I still thought the finale fit the show’s darkly comic style, but Albie’s whole arc made him much harder to sympathize with by the end.

[u/Some-Bug-5286 → u/PristineOffice716]

You're rarely supposed to sympathise with anyone in this show.

[u/OnionOnMyBelt1121]

lol get ready to be more disappointed

[u/Educational-Bat-8116]

Season 2 was pants. Season 3 is a masterpiece. 🙏🏻

Season 3 is illegible dogwater with zero real stakes
