i never knew where this one was going.. thinking about how it started vs how it ended is actually insane. SO MUCH happened 😭 but somehow (almost) all of it worked for me. i grew to love characters that i thought were insufferable for the longest time and it honestly hurt saying goodbye to all of them. i started this show back when i was 10-11 years old, solely because of the fact that i had just watched the vampire diaries for the first time and became OBSESSED with ian somerhalder. well.. SPOILER!! he dies in the first season.. but at that point i didn’t even care because i knew i was watching something special. i only watched through the end of season 3 before it got taken off of whatever streaming service it was on at the time and i was DEVASTATED but i was also a child so i quickly forgot all about it. honestly im glad i never finished it back then because i think it would’ve been too much for my little brain to handle. i wouldn’t have appreciated it as much as i do now, 10 years later. i don’t think the finale could have been more perfect. full disclosure, i did know the end the whole time ive been watching it.. judd apatow’s movie This is 40 told me how it ended a few years ago and ive never been able to forget it 🥲 BUT i had no clue how it would be executed and it was nothing short of perfect. i’m really glad it was. ps: i’ll be on a cruise for the next 8 days and im not sure if serializd is included in the social media wifi package so if im super inactive that’s why. and just know i will be thinking about and grieving this show + the characters for the entire trip. pss: im already pretty drunk so if this reads like i was just typing whatever was popping in my head the second it did, that is exactly what happened 🙂‍↕️🥂
