Stars: 5/5 ⭐️ Oh what a way to finish a show. The third season of the masterclass of a show was such a perfect ending to a wonderfully humorous show. So, Nick break down: Difficult People follows Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner's, alter egos, Julie Kessler and Billy Epstein as they try to become famous in NYC. However, this season, the characters have their sights set on other things besides being famous, most notably: What do they want their future like, since busting their asses to try to be comedians has been hell for them. Julie contemplates possibly becoming a home body, and selling little "bags of desires" (or something) on Etsy, as it's more stable for her, and she actually feels happy. While Billy on the other hand wants to get out of the city since he doesn't find anything good about it anymore, and wants to try his hand in LA, to see if he can make it as an actor. The show, I thin, really examines how fucked up Billy and Julie are in their own respects when it comes to dating, and mental help, and career aspirations which at the same time is both hilarious and heartwarming, as they might be difficult people, but they are in fact people first. The two most interesting is Julie's plan to continue trying to make it in comedy, even though she isn't exactly happy with it, but she feels like she needs to, which I think is quite the sentiment of many people today who believe that they have to take on jobs that make them unhappy in the hopes of getting something, may that be a job, or something else that brings them happiness. The other which I thought was quite revealing about Billy, was him deciding to just leave his boyfriend in NYC, without saying goodbye properly to leave to LA, because he didn't want it to be a goodbye between him and his boyfriend, which showing toxicity in love an interesting and intriguing route. Just like season 2, there are a good amount of call backs to previous episodes throughout the season, and with this season there is more of a coherent storyline, as it seems the show knew there wasn't going to be a season 4, and so they had to wrap up all the character arcs. There are again so many cameos by people, which really adds an extra layer of humor on top of the show. Again, as I said in my season two review, Difficult People is a stand-out season with hilarious plots, great cameos, and an overall great time, and the third season is just as great, with a bittersweet ending showing everyone still together.
