Noooo I forgot about Luke/Julie make it stop

 

Nothing more profound than realizing I'm the same age as Melinda Clarke was when filming the first season...

 

This was a first time 2020 quarantine watch for me. I was in Middle School during the show's initial run, so maybe because I am of the gen that was super into this that it felt so familiar to me.

Mostly great tv aside from some pretty baffling decisions (especially in Season 3).

Season 1 > Season 4 > Season 2 > Season 3

 

Season 3 sucked so bad. I have such bad memories of that one.

 

How did I just now discover this thread, omg.

 

Oh well, here we go again...

 

Yea...I saw that it's back on Hulu. I'll probably start it again in the fall. I'm excited to hear all the soundtrack gems sprinkled throughout.

 

I started this for the first time in the first few months of quarantine and then stopped like halfway through s2 for some reason. Maybe I’ll pick it back up soon.

 

It's taking me weeks to get through season 2; I think I have about 7 episodes left

 

Pretty incredible how much of an asshole Caleb gets in season 2

 

Crazy how the Cooper sister, who was sent to boarding school, is never seen once in two seasons, lol

 

And then Zach takes Seth’s place at the restaurant table with George Lucas, and we never hear from him/that plot point again? You’d think a major character meeting George Lucas would somehow create a new storyline, haha. And checking the Wiki page for season 3, it seems we never hear from Zach again

 

And then Caleb’s real daughter/Ryan’s ex (forgot her name) not showing up for his funeral? Da fuq?

 

This fucking show, haha

 

lol I only watched it like a year ago but I forgot how Zach just disappears, definitely bothered me at the time

 

They just finished the series on the rewatch podcast. Wild how many little things I forgot throughout the years.

 

I watched up through season 2 and stopped. Worth going onto 3 and 4?

 

If you lost interest during 2 then s3 might be a little slow/rough. But it really picks up in s4 and 5 might be my favorite overall.

 

I thought there's only 4 seasons?

 

Omg I thought I was in the Lost thread my bad lol

 

If you love the characters and melodrama, absolutely. If you were done, nah.

 

Season 3 is a baffling slog with truly insane choices for the worst.

season 4 is the fuck it let’s get weird season and it’s for the best. One of the show’s better seasons

 

Team Volchok

 

Season 1 is so good but also way too long. We could have gotten 5 or 6 seasons if they had spaced stuff out a little bit more

 

ya, my friends mostly hate 4 and rate 3 as decent, but i don't get it. 3 is stupid, 4 is silly - there's a huge difference between those two things and 4 is way better for it

it also helps that taylor turns into a good character in 4
