I think one of the tells of a great television show is the finale, the truly great shows I think, the finale always feels like the show can walk away, and be complete. No cheap "cliffhangers", no dramatic reveals, no "tune in next year", that plague a lower class of television.
This finale was like that, though obviously they will be back next year, which I welcome, because it's easily my favorite show, (besides Gomorrah), of the last 2 years or so, and deserves a spot all time in terms of it's category. Honestly, has kind of made it's own lane, obviously a dramedy, but few in it's class.
This show really exposes a really ugly side of men, in terms of comments I've read, which assumedly exist offline ( I should just say people) The show is all about the flaws, the insecurities of all of us, and trying to show people those flaws, and we can all take comfort, take joy, and take laughter from them. This isn't about taking sides in a gender war. Or pushing stereotypes. Nevertheless, brilliant season, and finale worked in all the places it needed too. Like life, it's imperfect, and the pursuit of that is what drives most of us I think.
The point in the car scene was he just assumed, and didn't even ask, or when confronted, admit his insecurity and explain/apologize. Everyone gets insecure about that kind of thing, I'd imagine, we are all constantly mirroring each other with our phones, trying to play it cool, but secretly we believe the other to be texting someone else. You just have to communicate these things.
Loose bits:
*The marriage part didn't really get me, I knew the show wouldn't go for cheap sentiment, I thought it was nice touch, (very La La Land inspired, I'd think) of expectations and reality.
*Their conversation was all about maturity, emotional and otherwise, honesty, and forgiveness. That's the heart of the show, in terms of relationships. Pay attention.
*Love the "Morocco" scenes with Molly and Issa, (You gotta Morrocan mans body lol), their friendship is the shows emotional center, despite the men in their lives
*Of course Molly is still seeing Dro, that's to be expected. Dysfunction on that scale never ends well, or quickly.
*They bused me to the finish line
*Tiffany and Derek are insufferable
*Due North has been hilarious all season
* Of course Daniel is still there for Issa, the relationship between those two has always been very close. Ironically, when she first started seeing Daniel, she was unsure about his "status", but dude has been 100, one of the more stable and reliable people in her life, next to Molly.
I also wanted to add, look at the show, and if possible your own relationships, in terms of the degree of importance people, and probably yourself put on possession and possiveness, which really drive a lot of the show's conflicts. I think the tendency to be possessive is what fuels a lot of irrational anger and resentment, obviously, you can't treat everything like a one night stand. I try to look at everyone I meet (dating wise) as individual experiences, of people who may or may not be in my life, maybe for 6 weeks, maybe 2 nights, maybe 15 years. I think the labeling and latching on is a really fascinating subject, not that you don't meet people whom you'd love to have in your life forever, but how realistic is that?
You can't just sum people up as exes and boyfriends, these are people, flawed and imperfect always.
thats why she cant seem to find a serious relationship.
