But this is tough.
Even with the English subtitles.
735996, spoilers... it was okay...

Spoilers below, I watched entire season.
It’s too much of a whirlwind, one too many twists & turns kind of show for me.
I like shoes where the writing is a bit more of a slow burner.

I read a review that said it was heartbreaking... nah not really.
Everyone got out pretty clean...

Jamie was able to take wrap, brother didnt get the 15.

Jamie’s youngest brother’s friend, was able to survive... his mama’s strength able to protect her boy. Maybe they have to leave the city, but he didn’t die.

The lesbian’s sister makes it out the city, paid for by Dushane.

Jamie isn’t gonna spend much time locked up.

The woman connect is business as usual.

The only real casualties were the Jamaican cousin and the rat in the crew who deserved to go.

Like I said, nothing too major, no WOW - can’t believe they wrote X character off show.


Oh - actually - the kid in the fire. Forgot about him.

I hated the very ending...
The police have the pin up board and the whole crew is already known,
top down. So we don’t get to see any of the work needed to be done to collect that info?

Come on, I hate that.

The two addicts that were always around and involved are cops. In the final scene, they are in the room and the female one talks to their superior before she lifts the screen to reveal the Summerhouse intel.
736063, yup

736067, oh shit, I must not have been paying attention.

736006, so far i think it's far better
Posted by Mynoriti, Mon Sep-16-19 03:21 PM
i think having 10 episodes to flesh out a story arc and get to know some of these characters better has helped tremendously. I feel more invested

I saw Sully as pretty one dimensional before this season.
7 episodes in now and I find him way more interesting than Dushane.

also introducing Jamie and giving him damn near equal time instead of just making him into a season 3 Marlo is a good move.
736008, 1 episode left but this is brilliant and gut wrenching

very impressed with Dave as a newcomer to acting and the guy that plays Jamie
736012, Just finished the new Season.

I really liked it. It was well written and consistent.

Did Summerhouse not know that Modie broke out?
736345, this season was really good
Posted by CherNic, Tue Oct-15-19 06:23 PM
I appreciate Sully a lot more now. He was always more ruthless imo but he showed his softer side this season. Definitely did NOT expect the twist at the end. Hopefully they get a fourth series (forgive me if it's been renewed and I just don't know).

736347, Sully is my favorite character
Posted by makaveli, Wed Oct-16-19 10:34 AM
i haven't seen the prior seasons, I will get to them soon.
736348, Sully's less likable in the og seasons
Posted by Mynoriti, Wed Oct-16-19 11:41 AM
he's easily my favorite in this season.

you might view him differently since you're going backwards, but even though here were shades of the Sully we see now, he's more of a ruthless, reckless asshole in early seasons. I like how they've developed him.

Sully was easily the biggest villain in previous seasons. He was a murder hungry ass dude that was quick to pop off. They really showed some growth of the character (not that he still ain't quick to murder) starting with his dealings with Modie in prison (more tempered than previous seasons). But I think that was the whole point of S3, the OG Summerhouse crew were all in their mid-thirties and had grown old and maybe even a bit wary of being on the road. Compared to the Zet Tee's who were basically the younger versions of them
737914, So did the og Summerhouse show get cancelled?
Posted by makaveli, Tue Feb-04-20 12:20 PM
***SPOILER***


Dushane running away from his apartment after little dude gets thrown off the balcony is the last thing that happens before the new show?
737915, Yes, that's the last thing that happens
Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Feb-04-20 12:51 PM
Then there's a 5 or 6 year gap and the new one starts.
Yes, it got cancelled and "Summerhouse" is what they rebranded the first two seasons as when the show was finally brought back for a 3rd.
737916, ah ok, thanks
Posted by makaveli, Tue Feb-04-20 01:45 PM
looking forward to the next season.
