After watching the season final I really don't know what to make of it. Jen discovering her powers would have been too on the nose so I was wondering what the cliffhanger would be.
In "MALE" shows it's always justice, revenge, betrayal while for most "FEMALE" shows it's either parents/kids or relationship changes ( marriage, divorce, etc )
So yeah I was a little bit underwhelmed when a show that, so far had balanced the rough with the romantic; had gone such an obvious path.
The writers probably felt the same way, because they course corrected and let the "cat lady" end up dating her actual cat. But the big twist, finding his family, felt right out of a Spanish TV novella
So now I have to root for Kash & Jizz, a scrub and a pet? While there are "real" superheroes flying around, not to mention centuries of Don Juan's ( heck even the original ) Carrie can summon.
The show wouldn't be the same without Kash and Jizz but we "wingman" are going to need a bit more redemption to make the difference with a guy like Luke.
A cute show so far with a charming cast. I'm glad Jen and Carrie were back on track from last episode and we could focus on getting rid of Kash! I clocked pretty early on that he was time skipping coz it's exactly what a guy like him would do when faced with the reality that he's a shit bf.
Don't know what to make of the Jen x Jizzlord yet (why tf haven't they renamed him). He's super cute but it always feels ick to me when one person is essentially childlike in knowledge. That twist though!
Also when the situationship dude couldn't fly I wondered for a moment if Jen's power was a dampening type deal? But it's more likely he was just thrown coz she's never been rejected before.
P.S. great music choices at the party. 100% my type of playlist
That ending! Watched it in one sitting.. fantastic!

That season ending though.
This series was a delight binge watch, it's not an earth shattering artistic masterwork light but it's sweet, cute, touching, a bit crude and lewd, and sometimes, heartwarming. A bit predictable, but not enough to put me off it. It's Misfits but with a more lighthearted tone. I feel like it was very good, but also missing some thing. It could have been done better.
What I didn't like:
For me, the whole Kash vigilante side story was forced, something just didn't click and was neither funny nor interesting. I'm glad Carrie broke it off with Kash, he was way to childish and had no ambition. I also cringed hard at the Jizzlord nickname. The rest of show is decent/watchable.
My other issue is that the whole premise of the show isn't addressed in the final. I know it's so they can have a Season 2, but I felt a little disappointed by the final episode.
There are some production issues with the show. The special effects are really bad. It’s not a huge issue, especially because the show has a goofy tone to begin with, but you'll be very aware you’re watching a low-budget show.
The sound mixing is also really bad; as much as I liked the soundtrack, I felt it was poorly balanced for volume. The music is way louder than the dialog, so you end up having to constantly fiddle with the volume unless you want extremely loud music blasting you every five minutes.
It’s very watchable and I do recommend that you at least check out the first episode.
