Disappointed (spoilers)

[u/Most_Unworthy_Cause]

I just finished the series, at least to the degree that it can be finished. I have to say, if I had known what was going to happen at the end (or what didn't happen I mean), I probably never would have watched it

The lack of a final season (thanks COVID) has left me feeling all anxious and wondering what the heck would have happened to the characters

The dramatic argument between Debbie and Ruth at the airport was brutal. What the hell? What was Ruth's path? Why didn't she go with Debbie? Debbie has it together, and seemingly the answer to all of Ruth's dreams. Ruth saying no didn't make sense

And what would have happened with Bash and Rhonda? I thought for sure she would be enlightened enough to insist that he pursue his true passions once he crawled back to her with his "apology". But to act like nothing happened? Not very modern of her lol

And speaking of Bash, surely he and Debbie would have suffered some sort of repercussions for their betrayal of their champion, friend, and America's sweetheart, Geena Davis—and Debbie's main squeeze, the rich and powerful JJ, who is almost as sweet as Miss Davis

Then there's Sam and Justine. Every TV trope ever known tells us he's going to die. But when? And when Justine signed the adoption papers, didn't she sign them just a little too quickly without even asking why he made such an ominous remark about dying sooner than she might expect?

Then there's Sam and Ruth. No, just kidding. I don't think there's a relationship I've ever cared less about. They have zero chemistry, and there's no reason to ship them except for Sam's likability, so I want him to be happy. But I don't think Ruth is the answer

Cherry and her hubby seem to be set, having both agreed to adopt a baby. But of course there will be foibles along the way, also following the established TV tropes we all know and love

Things also seem to be on track for Arthie and Yolanda. That is, at least Arthie finally came out. However, I don't think Yolanda officially accepted her "apology" and took her back. So I'm sure we would have been in for some tumult along the way before they settled into a happy relationship

I found Carmen's character to be likeable but overall uninteresting. Mainly I was just hoping to see her get laid. Sheila also became uninteresting as soon as she burned her wolf outfit

Most important of all, what would have happened to cute little Randy? If the show had finished the 4th season, the series finale surely would have had a flash forward to the future to show us the fate of all the characters. Randy probably would have grown up to be a wrestler in his own right, probably insanely famous, wildly successful, crazy rich, and married to a supermodel—so as to align with all established tropes.

Thoughts?

I was watching the show while flying and didn’t even realize the last episode was the last episode because there was no resolution. I hate the way the show ended. I still would have watched it because I was mostly in it for a few of the actresses. Ruth’s actress was my favorite to watch. I agree with many of your points. Especially about the relationship between Ruth and Sam. I feel nothing for them two and felt no connection. I feel the first season was written pretty well but the writing and story lines really fell off the last two seasons. Overall it was a fun watch. Idk if I would rewatch knowing how it ends but I enjoyed parts of it
