Just finished the third and final season and there is so much to love about this show. The diverse set of situations and characters. The attention to continuity and detail. The subtle interactions and cameos between the characters from the various vignettes. Sure it can be hipster and self-absorbed af, but then again what middle class city folk in their twenties and thirties aren't these days. One aspect the show executes really well is showing that solutions to one's aspirations and relationships aren't without compromise and sacrifice. Some of it could have been better acted, but I'm assuming a good portion of it was improv. It's realistic particularly because most of the characters ultimately don't change which is true of most people in real life. On that note, I found most of them likable except for the liars - the philandering mexicana and that fat pathetic excuse for a man. But damn, the finale really got to me and was the perfectly themed vignette to capstone the entire show. I really hope they leave the show at that because we don't need another series that's been milked dry like Thirteen Reasons Why and House of Cards.
