Alyssa Edwards Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Aww This outsold season 2 for sure Kit didn't lie when he described the season as darker (and hornier at the end), he put it perfectly. Spoiler Tara's an amazing person and i'm glad they tackled the intense transphobia in the media these days. I agree that there were a lot of topics touched on this season but somehow it felt much more grounded than last season which felt more muddled amongst all the pretty Paris scenary. 1
Quiqui4eva Posted October 10 Posted October 10 The way Tao went from my most hated to my definitive favorite This was a pretty good season, though not sure if it eclipsed two for me. 1

Charlie being this broken person always going through something while Nick a perfect savior willing to stick through it all just gets boring. The bisexual jock saved the gay nerd from bullying, awakened his sexuality thanks to him, came out to the world for him, and is always putting him before everyone else and himself, all while only being a teenager. Sometimes I feel like the show is afraid of showcasing greater character flaws (when they do show them, they usually get resolved pretty quickly) in fear of any characters being branded toxic. The show is still a cute little fairytale of course, but it's important to realize that that's what it is: fantasy. idk, I wouldn't call Nick a perfect savior. He felt like a subtle, less expressive Tao this season. He came off very codependent on Charlie and insecure of himself. Not to mention the absolute struggle to curate an academic path transitioning into uni. 1
My Tears Ricochet Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I hate Charlie. Such an annoying whiny Queen. Nick deserves better 2 1 2 1 1
Jglj Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Finished the third season. I felt it was a strong showing, I thought they, as always, tackled a lot of sensitive topics really well for a teenager show. I haven't read the comics, so I'm not sure if this is the same, but one criticism I have is that, story-wise, the Charlie stuff has been a bit too long now. I think the other characters also have interesting things that can be explored, and in the season they were short B plots. Spoiler Also, clearly Olivia Coleman wasn't available/didn't want to be in this season, the way they avoid showing her character was a bit funny. Like a Christmas party in Nick's house and the mom is not featured even once was a bit funny.

A 4th season isn't guaranteed, and if it does happen I think this show will get Sex Educationed with a shortened cast and a setting change to make it cheaper.

I wonder why season 3 isn't doing that well. Too dark for the younger viewers?

I saw some complaints that season 3 feels like one long public service announcement / afterschool special. But it also feels like they did not do so much promo.

pxxxtrick Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I'm halfway through S3 and it feels so much more pushy and preachy with the topics than ever before. I'm struggling to continue watching. 2 1

S3 isn't as easy to rewatch due to the heavy topics, the first two seasons probably had a lot of rewatches because it was mostly light and fun

The target audience is teenagers who move on from things fairly quickly. There's no need for them to show Charlie and Nick's lives together beyond college. Maybe just a scene or two in the series finale showing them happily married maybe with a baby. 5 seasons would suffice. By then most of the cast will be adults.
Shelter Posted October 16 Posted October 16 It was better than S2. It felt like Sex Education S4 to me though, just so unrealistic.
publikcitizen Posted October 16 Posted October 16 4 hours ago, Hector said: Not bad. Nice to see it in the top 10 WW for another week. This show is so cheap to make. Also no shade but Joe and Kit are the only one in the cast will get a pay raise. So that shouldn't affect the budget too much for a 4th season which should be okay with Netflix to give it a green light 1

Roberto Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I'm on episode 3 and this is not it. I'm struggling to watch the episodes, tbh (the pace is kinda tedious although I appreciate the heavy topics because it makes it looks more mature). That being said, Tori has to be my favorite character. Such a Queen. 1 1 1
Starkboy Posted October 19 Posted October 19 I think season 2 was better. I don't get the "unrealistic" complaints, as if previous seasons were any more realistic. I do whatever found it a bit boring. Maybe I'm just not in its target.
Totami Legend Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Wow this is boring. It lost all the sparkle from the first 2 seasons. 1 1
