I always point out Bunk’d on the list of shows with a terrible finale (since S3 was supposed to be the last but it effectively did kill the quality of the show) but having watched the final episodes of Bunk’d that aired last night, I can now actually reaffirm that its ending is shit.

Because oh my god is it shit.

#Bunk’d #Jessie #disney channel #disney sitcom #Disney #lou hockhauser #Camp kikiwaka #I think I owe The Lion Guard and Jake and the Never Land Pirates an apology for their finales #Don’t get me wrong they’re still absolute garbage but I don’t think I felt as burnt out and empty with those finales as I did with this one #Lou gets a random-ass love interest in the last 2 episodes and they pull a soap-opera style fake-out break up #which is like #I have no reason to care this late into the game #but they also rehash the plotline of the characters possibly separating and Lou wondering if she should stay a camp director #As if we haven’t had that plotline used in the last 4 seasons (including the season that was SUPPOSED to be the end)#Again no reason to give a shit #Especially since the status quo remains with Lou staying at the camp #The Ross kids are barely acknowledged or mentioned despite the show originally centering around them #And rather emotional closure that wraps up the loose ends with the series-original characters that were written off the show #and got no closure #instead they pull a Descendants with a dance party ending that doesn’t even fully fade to black by the end #Like what the fuck #My expectations for the series were low because any chance at a ‘good ending’ were thrown out the window with every renewal this show got #But oh my god this finale actually lowered my already low expectations #For years I’ve affirmed that Bunk’d is the perfect example as to why shows should just stay dead after they’ve ended #because if they don’t they can just become a rotting shell of what they’ve used to be and lose any and all quality beyond salvation #which is exactly what happened #And by consequence I am only happy BECAUSE the show ended and not in HOW it ended #But yeah the Jessie franchise is dead and so is Bunk’d lol
