This season has been a nightmare overall and has sort of killed the legacy of the show, but they went out on the right note. Not too much shouting, not too much drama, they brought the characters from the past back and they ended on a happy note. Exercise should be a choice we all make to feel happy and free, not to live up to anyone else's ridiculous expectations.

The finale was good and I wish they had built up Strength in Numbers or by Numbers, whatever it is, much earlier on. The time jump just for the final episode feels too sitcom finale-y, and was one of the few flaws I had with the episode.

[6.5] On series finale_ Something is better than nothing
cjonesas10 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A weak third season (finale to the series) to a semi-weak last one. I agree, whatever minuscule goals they had achieved throughout the first two seasons, they simply destroyed those blandly and uninterestingly with plots that the writers had absolutely no idea where they could go and what parts of the show's puzzle the pieces would fit in.

Each episode of this season was a horrible musical drama (even the music, aerobics and stuff surrounding it was nearly aimless) with the worst being the imaginary character in Sheila's head.

Expectations were low after seeing the first 2-3 episodes of the season and most viewers could sense that it was just dragging for a series finale. Nevertheless, that was much better than just cancelling it. They provided closure, whatever uninteresting and weak it was.

Those looking for empowerment and aerobics as a "mean and fitness tool" can use it to strengthen and heal themselves and for that alone, that is commendable.

What in the name of jeebus was that?

Having laboured through the unnecessarily complicated victim-porn side plots and backstory and suffered through the weird imaginary characters in Sheila's head in the final season we tune into the final episode to find the writers, the cast, the production crew and Apple have just said F it.

To be honest it would have been better if they had simply cancelled it. This was a studio exec saying 'you can have 50k come back with 30 minutes of footage that marketing can call an ending'.

Apple TV is really struggling at the moment. This was as rubbish an ending for a show as ever I've seen. But in fairness the show was going nowhere, it did have something, but the writers just couldn't capitalise on it. So I suppose that this is an entirely apposite ending, unrealised promise.
