So what do we think of the scene of Pen and Colin having sex during the mirror scène?

My fiance and I were ehhh.. not impressed 😅

[kick_chop_slam]

It was kind of bland but in their defense I believe the couple is supposed to be. They be doing missionary staring intensely into each other's eyes. I only didn't understand why they didn't just use the bed, like, the house was furnished already?

Apparently there were a whole bunch of extra scenes cut, so it prob makes sense if they went vanilla for her first time and got spicier in the cut scenes

Now that i don’t understand. I had to watch all of those benedict scenes that i didn’t care about AT ALL but they cut the main couple?

I found the second half quite boring and anticlimactic. The last episode, I ended up doomscrolling on my phone for most of it.

I said it in the last post but they would have benefitted from 10 episodes. They tried to cram too much into the 4 episodes and it didn’t work.

We got very little Pen/Colin and I hate that he was mad at her until the last like 10 minutes of the season after finding out. I HATED that they made them get married while he was still pissed at her and that they didn’t even spend their wedding night together.

I’m so curious if those rumours about them cutting a lot of their steamy scenes are true. I tend to believe it seeing how Luke/Nic were promotion P2. Too many unnecessary Benedict threesome scenes imo.

Anyways I really hope we get to see more Pen/Colin in s4. I adore Nic and have come to really like Luke. They need the old showrunner back though.

I so agree with the angry wedding. Like, is it so much to ask for some romance in my romance series?

i loved the bisexual benedict confirmation but one glimpse of the threesome and then a mention that it was still going on would have been fine. i wonder why they chose to keep his scenes vs. theirs. did people think the polin scenes weren't as good???

i was never a big fan of the costuming on this show tbh but this season really was ridiculous

and the heavy makeup on everyone?? full acrylic nail sets???? why

[teddy_sinclair]

it was such a mess

i saw people saying that nicola was filming 'big mood' at the same time, hence her acrylic set, but you're telling me they couldn't figure out a way around that? it was so distracting

[ashdevilrun23]

when she had her claws in Colin’s chest hair the last episode i was like really REALLY, might as well show her going to the nail shop at this point

[megzzy]

So much highlighter, and Pen’s bright red lipstick at the final ball?!

So many odd choices. I don’t expect it to be super accurate but they could have put a little more effort in lol

i have so many thoughts on this season, but i will say it'll be interesting to see how production responds to a lot of the criticism and backlash this season has received

otherwise, i do think you'll see interest fizzle (sadly), especially with a two-year gap
