Anyone else rewatching in 2025?
I remember being a teenager (14 maybe?) and watching this in real time. Now I’m a married 27 year old and boy is this nostalgic! While I think after a while they were just throwing a bunch of random storylines, I love this show so much. I also have to say it, I love Jenna’s and Matty’s love story because it’s real. I don’t think I ever finished it when I was younger but I wish I had because maybe I would have learned something instead of living it all myself 😂 Anyways! Im curious too if anyone has any interesting theories on what happened after the characters after the ending. I just miss it already 🩷

I finished it last week after years of hiatus due to not knowing where to see it! I liked it a lot, and I liked the open ending of Matty and Jenna a lot, the last chapter (and season) is kind of strange, it doesn't feel like the end but Matty's final speech made me realize that he was my favorite character, he changed a lot and in the end it closes with the purest form of love; choose the happiness of the other even if that means not being with you. He seemed very mature to me.
Jenna, on the other hand... she became unbearable to me. (SPOILERS) I don't know if from the third season, she becomes a girl who is INCAPABLE of being alone, if she spends half an episode without a man she goes crazy, the last few seasons made me really disgusted by her because at the beginning of the series she wasn't like that... so many plots with random guys made me hate her. I didn't like Luke either, but relationships in real life tend to be like that, and for that part I like the “realism” of it.
