life, love and hijinks
Overall: similar to season 1 and 2, this had the mockumentary feel where Zik, the main protagonist, talked to the camera directly interspersed with other scenes. The first season was a crack comedy with a few poignant moments, I rated it a 9. The second season was a bit more serious and didn't hook me as much so I gave it an 8. This season had a ton of funny parts but also had serious plotlines as well. I think for having probably little to no budget, they did a nice job with the production. Watched on YouTube (Fourson Production).Content Warnings: non con video taking/posting, drug addiction, pet death
What I Liked:
- some favorite characters returned, his friend Radar from season 1 and also Barbra is back!!!
- many hilarious moments during this season
- sweet moments
- caring/supportive friend group
Room For Improvement:
- a brief montage from the last season (or 2) might be helpful to remind viewers what has happened previously
- I wasn't into the running gag about the one character's sexuality
- wished they'd subtitle the bloopers at the end
- hoping for a season 4 because that was kind of open/cliffhanger
- I didn't deduct points, but I think the very irregular airing schedule hurts their views and it can be difficult to remember what happened earlier in the season

I found it weaker than previous season
Despite season 1&2, this season suffers poor stories. When I start this season, I anticipated a scenario akin to season 1 which had depicted a love struggle between two gay and straight men. The epilogue story in episode 16 was also vague and not completed. The episode 12 and 13 are more comprehensive and communicable. However the actings are good. The male leads are adorable and nice. I believe the director should pay attention to the fact that for an international audience which can only follow the vibe of the story via subtitle, the space of drama is so cacophonous and difficult to trace. The pace is fast.Was this review helpful to you?
