Suburgatory...RIP

63 Upvotes

OK Let me start out with I loved this show when it first aired. So I was over the moon when Netflix had acquired it. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth back into it. However like most delicious shows it got canceled without a true ending, I mean why couldn't they do something like The Middle did, you give a brief glimpse into what befelled our favorite characters. So after watching it all the way through again and laughing and crying I decided to flip forward and share what I think should of happen with the characters.

First everyone's favorite mean girl Dalia.

Dalia starts out selling belts and things out of her mom's store but eventually manages to land a very successful Evan. Yes I am giving that little nerd what he should of had all long someone who is crazy about him. And marriage does good for Dalia she actually becomes less vapid and shallow as she becomes a mommy of yes 3. 2 girls and one boy. She also gets back into party/wedding planning and is one of the most sought after around, while Evan succeeds in Finance.

Noah, Opus, and Jill.

They stay the same, I always found them flat and not truly important to the story.

Sheila, Fred and Victor

Still married but now instead of football games goes to egames for Victor. He took his geek out and Sheila and Fred followed along.

George and Dallas

After telling Dallas he was free and Dallas getting mad at him and storming out. What we as viewers didn't see was him racing out and catching her as she put her keys in her car. Of course he kisses her and says yes I am free but free from my past and all the hang ups I had. Dallas unfortunately says maybe it's too late and drives off only to stop at the gate and start crying over the steering wheel, she realizes that she is done but with all the insecurities and baggage she has carried. She gets out of the car and walks not runs for she is a lady back to George. They get married 6 months later and George builds a big old dream house for them, with room for all the grandkids.

Tessa and Ryan

Yes after almost having sex in the middle of the street, Ryan breaks it off with icky June. Tessa and him decide to just see how things go and he heads back to Florida and she finishes High School. They see each other sporadically throughout the next 5 years but decide they truly can not be with others. So they of course get married. In a surprising twist they stay in Chatswin and have to identical twins. Ryan has a car dealership with his dad who decided being a stay at home guy was not for him and Tessa shock of shocks went to Colombia and become a lawyer and a real published author (take that Jill). And who lives next to them...

Lisa and Malik

Still married. Still crazy in love. But with 5 children and Lisa is a stay at home mom but not like Sheila. She is sweet and encouraging in every way her mom was not. And Malik is doctor.

They all get together as often as they can and evan Dalia and Tessa had worked most of their issues out. It's no longer hellish to Tessa but a little more heavenish.

George kind of sucked

63 Upvotes

He consistently framed his preferences or selfish desires as what was best for Tessa, and at the very least was a major hypocrite.

He moved her from the city to distance her from sex…then went into the city for sex (S1E8). Then he pursued Tessa’s teacher (S1E9)! He prematurely brought a different disruptive girlfriend into their house (S1E21).

By the end of season 2, he had so prioritized his relationship with Dallas that he proceeded with plans to move in together, without so much as discussing with Tessa! And when she expressed disapproval—reasonably, considering her relationship with Dalia—George treated it like a dominance competition.

He also disliked the influence the suburbs had on Tessa without genuinely reflecting that it might have been a been a mistake to bring her there (S1E20). The suburbs clearly incur financial costs that could otherwise be going to actually helpful resources for Tessa.

Also, from the perspective of Dallas or Dalia, his relationship with the latter was sweet. From the perspective of Tessa, considering everything Dalia said and did to her? Outrageous.

I know I’m being nitpicky but I feel like the beginning of season 3 sort of plucked away what could have been important opportunity for growth. Instead of getting credit for being “the one who stays,” he should’ve been forced to earn Tessa back by showing that she’s his priority. Not just his backup once Dallas leaves him.

And the beginning of season 3 almost frames Tessa as the bad guy for going to live with her mother, even though it just made sense after George repeatedly disregarded her feelings about major living arrangement decisions. Tessa was nothing like Alex—George was.

When Suburgatory drops on Netflix US next week, please watch through all episodes and rate with 2 thumbs up to increase the chances for a revival

I know it's a long shot, but doesn't hurt to try. You can also set a reminder on Netflix. Also, whoever is running the Suburgatory Facebook page has been consistently posting birthday messages for each cast member. I'm not sure if that means anything, but I thought that was interesting. The cast has also promoted the show on social media now that it's streaming.

I’m obsessed with this show

60 Upvotes

I just finished it nearly 10 minutes ago and I’ve concluded, it’s the perfect show. I just discovered it. I wasn’t watching much tv back when it aired as it was a busy time in my life. I hadn’t ever heard of it until Netflix picked it up and I randomly found it. It’s hysterical. It’s just so outlandish but clever and heartwarming. But to say I’m disappointed in the abrupt ending is an understatement. I understand it was an unexpected cancellation but I just can leave it there. I need someone, ANYONE, to tell me they suffered how I currently am in this moment.

I wasn't able to watch season 3 when it originally aired, so I just finally caught up. George really needs Noah to counterbalance him. As much as I love Chris Parnell (Fred) it just wasn't the same

PO'd about the series finale

50 Upvotes

I've watched the entirety of Suburgatory three times now, and I still can't wrap my head around why the writers ended it that way. I mean, I understand the nonrenewal of season 4 took them by surprise, so they had to rush a series finale episode together in only a week or two, but still. Tessa was over Ryan, she had finally moved on and learned that he was way too dumb and a douche for her. What makes me even more heated is that the series pulled a 180 on George's and Dallas' relationship; opposite of Tessa's and Ryan's, George and Dallas were obviously good for each other, and the way things were leading up made it seem like they'd end up together, but the finale plot twisted us with a very disheartening ending of their relationship. The series is a 9/10. But the series finale with a lack of closure and a complete flip on George's and Tessa's character development is a 3/10.

I know it’s not a new disease, I just thought it was an interesting coincidence.

Where did they get Kroger brand charcoal briquettes?

There is not a Kroger or banner store in New York (unless you count the NYC Murray’s Cheese locations, but those were not yet owned by Kroger at the time), so how did they end up with Kroger brand barbecue items? First time watcher and hope this is fleshed out going forward.

This show is really something. Wasn't sure about it in season 1. Dalia really grew on me in Season 2. I've been loving being sent back to the 2010s.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to finish the series, but the first episode of season 3 was actually really sweet. Im glad im watching as an adult and a parent.

Im on season 3×02. Man, the Shay parents suck.

I used to watch suburgatory when it was on air and over the years (after cancellation), I felt CRAZY trying to remind people about this show. I feel like it has so many elements of the viral sitcoms that make it deserve a place in more lists of great shows of the 2010s. Since like 2022, I’ve been looking for somewhere to rewatch it and was so excited to see it’s streaming on Roku channel!!! Extremely memorable elements are charming Ms. Jane Levy, DALIA ROYCE’S DEADPAN, Jeremy Sisto’s 1990s iconship, Dallas being amazing, Alan Tudyk’s humor and so much more. Like come on, we have MS. ANA GASTEYER AND MR. CHRIS PARNELL playing a suburban married couple who deeply love each other and I had completely forgotten about Allie Grant as their daughter (can we get a weeds shoutout ???). Special mention to Rex Lee as the hilarious Mr. Wolfe. I just feel like the show has so many elements to succeed and never has received the flowers it deserves. I’m currently on season 2 episode 20 and already so emo knowing it’s going to end soon.

I just finished my binge rewatch of Suburgatory. I can't be the only one that thinks Dallas was the worst for George. She was awful to him. She wants him, she doesn't want him, she wants him, she doesn't want him. Poor guy gets jerked back and forth so often I am amazed he doesn't have whiplash. Dude deserves better. Probably wouldn't find that in Chatswin though.

I am on SS3 right now, and yes, it has dulled a bit, but I guess had they renewed it further, things could've turned around. It's just a nice chill and laid back feel and I love it.
