I don't know how I can give a review for all three seasons at the same time. They're all so starkly different. I'm gonna go all over the place, here. Truly, I think Aziz is a terrible actor and everything he does seems very hollow. I don't see him embodying the emotions of his character throughout all the seasons. When he's telling jokes he looks the most comfortable. In Season 3, I became so put off by Aziz doing the trick of looking down and shaking his body to look like he was laughing at something that Lena's character's said, that I was completely taken out of what I was watching (it's when they're sitting upstairs by Lena's reading nook). The ending of season 2 with the beautiful Italian actress having to feign an undeniable attraction to Aziz was off-putting. As many others have said, it most definitely looked like Aziz wanted to make out with a beautiful woman and that's about it. The storyline completely lost me and I felt more and more frustrated while watching. Eric Wareheim, Alessandra Mastronardi and the Thanksgiving ep saved me from thinking season 2 was a total write-off. At the start of season 3, I thought I was going to see a pure queer love story with not that much drama. Whoops! I still loved it though. I binged the whole thing. I want to watch so much more of what Naomi Ackie has to offer. For me, I appreciated that it showed a queer relationship that wasn't all pain or all pleasure. So many queers stay entangled in some way or another after a break-up; it's realistic. I thought Lena Waithe seemed a little wooden in parts but I still wanted to know what she had to say... Overall, it was an at times frustrating show but I still appreciated it. If there's a season 4, maybe we could focus on Arnold?

The whole three seasons are poetry in motion. I feel absolutely blessed that I saw a fan-made video of the show and decided to check it out. Season 3 will go down as one of the best seasons of any television show. Thank you absolutely everyone that was involved!

As someone who has mental health issues, I wish the intervention and hospitalisation in the movie were done more realistically. I was waiting for Kristen's character to be in hospital but she's in there on screen only a few hours after a complete breakdown somehow not looking completely out of it on tranquilizers, somehow already balanced on her old meds instead of it taking weeks, AND she's only in there for 24 hours? If you're gonna focus a story around mental health, at least research what it's actually like. I realise this film didn't have an ending that tied up neatly with a bow but it just felt so unsatisfying. I felt like I still knew nothing of Kristen's character. Any past life event mentioned was never fully fleshed out and I generally felt confused. I love Kristen but this just seemed all over the place.
