Okay, let's talk about The Bold Type. Specifically, season five. And even more specifically… the number of episodes. Buckle up!
So, How Many Episodes Are There?
Ready for the grand reveal? Drumroll, please! Season five graced our screens with a whopping… six episodes.
Yes, you read that right. Six. Not sixty. Not sixteen. Just six little episodes to wrap up all the drama at Scarlet.
My (Possibly Unpopular) Opinion
Now, here's where things might get a little controversial. I actually… didn't hate the shorter season. Gasp!
I know, I know. Hear me out before you @ me. Sometimes, less is more, right? Think of it like that fancy, expensive chocolate. A little bite is satisfying enough. Too much, and you feel a bit sick.
Six episodes felt… focused. Like they knew exactly what they wanted to wrap up and didn't have time for filler. Every scene felt important, almost like a montage of memories.
Was It Enough?
Okay, okay, I'll admit. Six episodes felt short. I think everyone can agree to that.
We were all dying for more Jane, Sutton, and Kat shenanigans. More Scarlet workplace drama. More witty banter. We deserved more time with these characters!
It felt a little rushed, right? Some plotlines felt a tad too convenient. Relationships resolved themselves a little too neatly. Hello, did we even get enough time to process Richard and Sutton?
What They Could Have Done
Imagine a world where season five was, say, ten episodes? We could have seen Jane truly thrive as editor-in-chief.
Sutton's career could have taken even more unexpected turns. And Kat? Girl could have launched a whole media empire!
Plus, we could have gotten more of those amazing fashion moments. Let's be honest, the outfits were half the reason we watched.
The Big Question: Closure?
Ultimately, did six episodes give us enough closure? That's the million-dollar question. Some would say no.
Did we get to see the girls happy? For the most part, yes. Did everyone end up exactly where we thought they would? Maybe not.
But that's life, isn't it? Sometimes things don't go according to plan. And maybe that's the lesson The Bold Type was trying to teach us all along.
Final Thoughts (and Maybe Another Unpopular Opinion)
So, while six episodes of season five felt short, I appreciate the focus. And the attempt at a satisfying ending.
Maybe it wasn't perfect. But it was a fun ride. The show gave us characters to root for. Relationships to swoon over. And a whole lot of fashion inspiration. And that is all that matters.
And hey, we can always re-watch the first four seasons, right? It is always the perfect binge-watching session.
Maybe, just maybe, fewer episodes helped ensure The Bold Type ended on a relatively high note, rather than dragging on and losing its spark. Who knows!
