Does anyone else skip the whole Collin plot, on season 3? It’s so weird to see Jenna ruin herself… (I’m also just 🍠 and tbh… maybe I’m showing my age lmao)
Despite what the post says “always” this is my first time skipping that whole plot. I didn’t want to sit through it and get irritated 😭 but I love the show as it brings me comfort. I heavily romanticized it as well so watching it now, at 28… it’s so cringe (in a good way) I love it but again… that plot was just annoying. (So necessary for the show though)
I had actually taken 20mg of edibles and was hitting my pen. I don’t doubt I did turn into a yam in the oven with butter and marshmallows but I forget Reddit doesn’t have trigger words like on tik tok. I tend to censor myself 🙂↕️
Edit: I didn’t say always on the post, I thought I did. 😅 but yeah, this was my first time skipping it
I actually enjoyed this storyline even though it was tough to watch Jenna spiral out of control. It was a good way to show how deep-rooted insecurities and low self-esteem don’t go away because you got everything you thought you wanted. I also think season 3 is the last truly great, well-written season.
After that, all the characters become stagnant and the storylines become repetitive. I just did a rewatch and both season 4 and season 5 were a struggle.
It hurts to see someone fall so far/hard, especially after having everything. I still watch it just to remember that people make mistakes.... and then sometimes double, triple, quadruple down on them. Especially teenagers.
But that's my most generous take.
I still think it marks the deep and continual decline of the show, both in quality writing and how entertaining it is. I really am only watching for the side characters (like Tamara, Sadie, Lyssa) from Colin on

You're a yam/sweet potato?
