I am genuinely obsessed with this show and I'm sad there's only four seasons.
It reminded me a lot of Freaks and Geeks, which was also brilliant.
There's so much feels throughout the entire show and the characters are all so likeable.
The casting in this show is absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything like it. The fact that Alistair Petrie and Connor Swindells (Michael and Adam) aren't really related is mindblowing to me 😅 Ncuti Gatwa (Eric) is set to be one of the best actors of his generation and he deserves all the praise he's getting. Honestly, the entire cast is so good. There's a lot of new actors in this show with little experience but they were obviously chosen because of their incredible talent.
Seasons one and two are simply brilliant. Getting to know the characters and watching them come of age is an absolute joy. The show is bloody funny and very sweet.
Season three was slightly less good in my opinion because I didn't love everyone's storyline. Still amazing, though. I also understand the high ratings of the third season because it got a little more serious, which usually means it will get received well.
*****SEASON 4 SPOILERS AHEAD*****
Season four was not as good as the others. Even though I really enjoyed it, I didn't like the development of some characters. I honestly couldn't stand Maeve in the first few episodes. I thought the writers made her seem rude, selfish and constantly annoyed.
Same goes for Jean. She was the absolute favourite character of many, but her entire personality got butchered. She suffers from PPD, which is pretty common so I do think it's good that they put this in the show, but she didn't play as big of a part in Otis' life in this season and she wasn't the confident, strong lady we know. This somehow bothered me. I did really love her conversation with Maeve near the end. Absolutely heartwarming.
I loved the new characters in the show, but I also missed a few. What happened to Lily and why didn't we get a glimpse of how Jakob and Ola are doing?
Anyway, overall this show was an absolute gem. The ending was quite perfect in my opinion and I love that everyone is quite content with where they are in life. I will always recommend this show as a must watch for anyone and I'll truly miss it.
