I like the group coming back together and the Met Ball.  Then the European vacation 

Obbie ratting then out should have had more reaction. 

Sad Max is alone somewhere. 

Good for Luna getting that succes. 

Liked finally the plot ending and the teacher getting jail and called out. Having her pay and lose everything is what she deserved.

I so did not realize that this had been cancelled, so this episode finally makes sense in my head now that I know. More power to them for being able to edit it enough to make it feel like a good ending place.

Zoya's reveal dress at the Met gala was awful and had some mammy vibes.

I thought the scene with Kate getting busted was a dream sequence, because there was no way she could be that dumb after basically getting away! Clearly I was wrong. 

I was a bit confused about why Julian would go out of her way to track down and learn more about her mom's side of the family, but not include her sister in it, as it seemed from the writing that Zoya also wasn't aware that they had family in Rome. 

Why weren't Monet and Zoya's new friend on the Rome trip?

This show wasn't great, but I liked all the pretty, the fashions, and the diversity.

The show wasn’t great, but it was fun while it lasted!

That finale was a million times better than the show normally is.  Unfortunately, if the show kept going, it would have been going on as mediocre as they liked to keep it.

This is why I'm not mad at the cancellation. The writing was all over the place, and the group wasn't believable as childhood friends.

Julien and Audrey are best friends, but they barely had scenes together. Obie was off in his own world, and Max, Audrey, and Aki had throuple drama every episode.

It's a shame we never got the backstory with Julien's parents and Zoya's dad. The show made a misstep by making Julien's dad a sexual predator. There was no way to incorporate him back into the story.

I appreciated the vacation porn, fashion, and Luna getting the Oscar de La Renta campaign. It never made sense to me that Luna and Monet played second fiddle to Julien.

Oh I had no idea this was cancelled. I guess it makes sense since I heard a lot of the people who watched the original show were not a fan of the reboot.

It ended with multiple open storylines. They could have done one more season to finish everything off. I didn't particularly "enjoy" the show either, just watched it out of boredom. I only liked Kate's character, she was the only level-headed person in the show so it was kinda stupid that she fell into that trap so easily at the end.
