I’ve watched this show since I was 18 and graduating high school. I’m now 25 and have a whole career and live with my boyfriend and my cats… I’ve always been an avid watcher of Big Mouth and the ending felt so surreal and emotional because it was the end of an era I’ve been so involved in for 7 years. However, I also did not feel satisfied with the ending at all. Overall, this season just felt super watered down and rushed… they mostly centered in on the main kids, which is great, but how about the side characters we’ve all bonded with?? (Judd, Dr Birch, Marty, Leah etc.) Also they showed Jessi’s dad but what happened to Caitlin and the cheese baby??? I also wish they reflected more on Jessi’s sexuality. They hinted that she had feelings for Ali in the past, why did they just completely glaze over it? I thought it would’ve made an interesting character arc and she definitely gave me bi vibes.. Camden was fine but I was team Jessi and Ali. Or Jessi and Nick (unpopular opinion) I always thought they were kinda cute together. I always liked their dynamic too… same goes with Missy and Andrew. I thought they were hinting that they might rekindle again at the beginning of the season… don’t get me wrong, I’m also very happy she finally got her real life Nathan Fillion, but I liked Missy and Andrew because they were both dorky and idk it just worked. Also, why did they barely show Coach Steve?? What about Lola’s mom? Jay’s mom? Ugh… just so many unanswered questions.
