I've watched and adored these characters for years and years. Watching them grow up, grow apart, laugh, cry, and elevate themselves and each other has stuck with throughout the years. So, I was a bit disappointed when I found out there was not going to be a third film, but rather, a TV mini-series, chronicling their lives from 2013 until now. Skeptically, I started watching it, and as more cliffhangers arose and more drama ensued, I became more interested. When I got to the last episode, I was left stunned. The ending for many of the characters, especially Harper, was left without true resolve and very little promise of a beneficial future. I guess, for many of the viewers, sides were taken, from the start of the franchise - female fans expressed how they related to the female characters, and the same for the male fans. But somehow throughout the films, we were able to understand more about how to approach and resolve issues with the opposite sex through these characters and their situations. But somehow, that mark was missed in the very last episode. Twenty minutes left in the episode, and there's a huge blowout with the entire gang. Everyone cusses everyone else out, secrets surfaced, sides were taken, ties were cut, and love was lost. And it felt like we were time traveling back twenty years ago to when none of them knew how to portray their true feelings to each other. And as the time ran out of that last episode, I was hoping for an epilogue instead of a gag reel. I have never felt so cheated in a TV show in my life.
