WHICH ONE! AMAZING! THE SERIES!!! And I said that they would stay together anyway, that there was no point separating the last episode for a bad ending, that the series, which already began with their breakup, could not end on a bad note! I'm just shaking with joy, they were able to close all the arches at all (even with Nils's orientation and the relationship of two girlfriends), finally Ville and August talked and August SINCERELY apologized for everything, and Ville apologized for his brother. I have been in favor of handing the title to Augustus all this season, because first of all it will benefit Villa, because all the stress he was going through was precisely because of the responsibility that he did not want! The scene by the lake was just heartbreaking (in a good way) - so beautiful and serious dialogue, the boys, as always, played beyond praise, it was impossible to break away! At the same time, I want to say so much more, but at the same time there are no words)) In short, I want to congratulate us - after three seasons of the infernal drama, we have a HAPPY ENDING! Long live WILLMON ENDGAME!!!
@K2isOn: UPD: after watching the documentary, it turned out that the scene on the lake is the last filmed scene of the series, as well as the last joint scene of Edwin and Omar. Now it's clear why she was so adorable. I'm crying all over again.
UPD 2: In a new interview, Omar said that the whole conversation between Simon and Villa near the lake WAS an IMPROVISATION. I'm going to jump off the cliff😭
I didn't expect a Happy Ending. But it was excellent. The best of the series 😍😍😍 Europeans are able to shoot - naturally, beautifully and with taste 🤍 I will miss the guys, especially Will!!!
I'm very happy about the happy ending, Wilmon forever and all that, but I want to write about how ironic it is that at the end of August, in theory, I got what I wanted all this time (he will be the crown Prince), but right the day before that, his friends made him wonder if he needed it at all)))
Yes, yes, and YES again!It is not possible to come up with a better ending for this series.Willie has finally chosen himself, his needs, needs and desires.From the very beginning, it was clear that he did not need the crown, he wanted to be an ordinary teenager without the burden of responsibility.Simon was his first push to understand what he wants for himself in the future.And how great it is that he found the strength to admit to himself and his mother that going on about his duty to the monarchy is not something that will bring him happiness.
@ryuryuryu: but August had a frog toy hung up as a medal. Everything is as it was said, if you want an heir to the crown, Mom, here he is - take August.
Thanks to everyone involved for such an end! I want to draw your attention to what a sunny juicy picture turned out at the final, the weather is right on the subject :) I expected the worst, I thought there would be an open ending and I would be sad for several days. But no, the series left great impressions, the actors, despite their youth, played perfectly
I don't know how Lisa did it, but it was PERFECT!!! She cried for half a series because she refused to believe that they would not be together. But I'm thrilled with how all the storylines have been closed: that Villa never wanted to be king, and now, fortunately, he won't have to. A separate love: Felice and Sarah's friendship, a very cool storyline. What a finale for Villa and Simon 😍😭💔💞 It's sad that the series is over, but it's great that it's there!!!
God, thanks for the footage from past seasons in the finale! I'm crying with happiness, from the glass, from the fact that this wonderful series is over, I remember how at the age of 21, immediately after the release, I started watching how happy I was, how the series sunk into my soul, the actors and their game, music, picture, PLOT - everything is perfect here! I am sure that I will review it more than once.
My God, it's so good that the series ended so beautifully!! Wilmon endgame! Hooray, comrades! It's even a little sad for August that now he didn't get into this bondage, but there's nowhere to go... What a good series!
I set up a crying factory for the whole series. Thank you-thank you-thank you for ending the way it ended. God, how glad I am that the boys are happy, and how sad I am that this is the end of this story.
God, thank you for this heartbreaking story for 3 seasons! It was amazing.😭😭 The best happy ending, everyone deserves it. Thank you so much for the closed arches🥹 Willmon endgame!! 🫂🫀
Well, what a happy ending, it was so unexpected, my soul is warmed: this is the final sun, summer, love, friendship, happiness 😭💔 how good that the final tears were finally from joy for all the heroes, and not as usual)) I gave my heart to Villa and wish him only happiness
Honestly, I was disappointed with the series, and the finale was not impressed. So. they spent the whole season leading up to the fact that Villa and Simon would break up, but then bam and everything became fine with a wave of a magic wand! Well, it doesn't happen that way. I didn't believe it at all, and frankly, they really should have broken up and met there at 25 years old. And the fact that Villa allegedly refused the crown is also nonsense. Just once again told mom "I don't want to" and everyone listened to him?. In general, I don't even know what to think now. This is the rare case when I would like to cheer on a happy ending, but everything here was asking for a breakup and sadness.
Allow me to object. They were leading not to the fact that they would break up, but to the fact that Villa would finally decide to leave the crown. And for this important decision, he had to survive the real threat of separation. That's why parting was shown to be so painful for him when he was most vulnerable. But among other things, it was thanks to parting with Simon that he had to realize how his family and the whole succession situation affected him, what he was becoming, and that he simply had no future in this state. (In the second season, when they were discussing the book and preparing a presentation, they made a clear hint of suicide in case of following strict rules that do not correspond to their own ideas)
All 18 episodes showed that Wilhelm did not want to become a prince/king, they said a lot of times how important choice is, not who you were born with, why you decided that this was nonsense. It is very logical for him to give up the throne. Yes, he would be great as a monarch, but it's just not his. The message of the series is about fighting for your ideals, no matter who you are, where you are and what circumstances you have, you can change it if you want.
I will still stand by my opinion. The fact that it is too early for Villa to put on a crown is obvious and without any hints. Ten years later, one could think about becoming a king and let him decide then, but now these are the decisions of a boy in puberty, who is more concerned about the drama with his first boyfriend in his life. Well, I still think it would be better for them to break up. For me, their love was not so strong.
But he doesn't have ten years to think about it, the queen said, from 18 you start working for the monarchy, we will train you in a school for crown princes over the summer.
What are you talking about 😅 I very much doubt that the queen will give up the throne in favor of an 18-year-old emotionally unstable and hormone-dependent youngster (well, only if she doesn't stretch her legs earlier). And August is not far from the Villa.
No one is saying that she will refuse. This does not negate the fact that he would have started working as a member of the royal family and performing certain duties. Which, as we understood for the series, he does not want 🤷♂️
Of course, it's teenage idealism to decide that after the phrase "I won't be king" everything will be fine and all the problems with publicity will also go away, of course. In addition to the fact that Simon will obviously be flown by the monarchists for leading the prince astray, in any case, there will always be press attention and family ties (I really don't know if he will be able to go to any socialist demonstration without it making a fuss in the press, I think they will actively drip on his nerves so that he commits less public nonsense, even without claiming the throne). In short, this is great for the season finale, but if Simon had troubles with hype, etc., then these troubles will not go anywhere anyway, which obviously will not affect their relationship in the best way. And he will still have to learn to be careful on social media and accept that there will be a lot of haters.
And August there seems to have already understood what this threatens him with and is not very happy with the prospects of a monarch's life, with such a look he saw off Villa's escape from the car. But it is easier for him to console himself with the fact that it is very honorable, etc.
In short, it would be very interesting for me to see the sequel in the real world, so to speak
I was very upset by the ending. I remember how wildly delighted I was with the Wilhelm and Simon couple in the first and second seasons, how nervous and heartbroken I was for each of their problems and misunderstandings, how I reviewed individual scenes twenty times. I thought the finale of the second season with Villa's speech was just great: it seemed that this was what they had been waiting for for so long, and now at least the first couple of episodes they would be in complete euphoria from their newfound freedom. But I didn't understand at all why the drama started so early: it felt like Wilhelm had taken a huge and important step to be with Simon, but Simon wasn't ready to sacrifice a single bit of his former life to be with Villa.
I didn't appreciate Simon's "problem", which was blown up to universal proportions, not to post some contradictory things on Instagram and be careful for a while, because all attention is focused on you and the royal family. I understand that it's really difficult when you get so much negativity as a teenager, but at some points it seemed to me that Simon didn't want to realize who he was dating and how his behavior affected Villa. And he also doesn't understand how much easier it will be for him if he doesn't read all these aggressive things from and instead takes care of his relationship, which he seems to have dreamed of so much. It was very selfish and weird. It was also strange when Wilhelm's mom started having health problems, but they still spent most of the time discussing how Simon felt bad that he couldn't post anything and not read the comment. I didn't notice Simon's support in this matter. It turned out that Wilhelm had a lot of things piled on him, and sometimes objectively more serious than Simon, but Simon was almost always the center of attention and support. Wilhelm was always apologizing for some of his emotions and weaknesses.
@lil_sebastian: A separate kind of art is to part with the most lonely and broken Villa on his birthday right after his family talked about Eric all day and left him alone with all his worries. I'm sure it could have been done on any other day and not finish off a loved one even more.
I noticed that Netflix generally likes to add some inexplicable drama to their shows to make it supposedly more interesting to watch: they did the same thing in the same Heartstopper, for example. But still, in my opinion, there were much more interesting complex and dramatic moments that could be promoted this season between Simon and Villa. I don't know, it didn't capture me and didn't make me worry about the characters even more, as in the first seasons, rather, it irritated and left me completely frustrated. This season seems to have a completely different vibe than the first two. There was a lot of drama in them too, but it was logical, reasonable, justified on both sides, and sometimes there was some kind of game. I found myself worrying more about Felice and Sarah's friendship or the arch of Augustus.
In general, I still have the most contradictory emotions from watching. It was as if they had been leading Wilhelm and Simon to break up all season, and their problems were not only that Villa was still part of the royal family — they were much, much deeper. These were problems with communication, support, willingness to compromise for the sake of a loved one, taking care of him at a difficult moment to the detriment of himself. And then at the end of the last episode, after all this maelstrom of very difficult relational problems, they reduced everything to the fact that their main problem was Villa's involvement in the kingdom, and since this area is gone, then there are no more problems. That's not so. This is illogical and strange.
@lil_sebastian: I keep thinking that I would be very glad if the series ended on the second season. At that moment, Simon and Ville were a great couple, despite all their problems, because these were the logical, justified problems of two teenagers who found themselves in such a difficult situation. They were both afraid of their newfound feelings, did not know how to behave, could not do anything about the power of their love and were ready to make any sacrifices for her, sometimes even irrational. They didn't know how to combine the desire to be ordinary teenagers and be the Crown Prince/date him, how to deal with the leaked video. Nevertheless, despite the difficulties, they always met each other halfway, agreed to compromises for the sake of this love, could give in to another, could delve into the feelings of a loved one, even if their own were overwhelmed and not allowed to think rationally. It was really an all-consuming love, stronger than all obstacles, anger and a complex context. It was a love that transcended all external and internal boundaries.
So much has been done this season that I wanted not just a happy ending, but a solution to difficulties and contradictions. Why did they lose touch right now, because it was just as difficult before? Why did it become so hard to compromise and forget about your feelings for the sake of a loved one in greater trouble, because this used to happen? Why did it become easier to break up than to fight for a relationship that has now even become clearer, more official, having gone through many important sacrifices and difficulties, as they both dreamed of? There were no answers to these questions, only a beautiful scene at the end. The only good thing is that Villa gave up the throne not for the sake of a relationship, but for himself. This is one of my favorite series and one of my favorite couples, and I would like nothing more than to be happy for their happy ending. But after the events of the last season, I can't feel it, unfortunately. So far, only such thoughts.
@lil_sebastian: The trouble is not just his involvement in the kingdom, but what this involvement does to him. If he had been happy to become a prince, if the royal team had been more efficient in solving the problems that fell on the boys, the plot would have been completely different, the relationship would have been different. But he's not happy, that's what the whole batch is about.
Why should Simon give up his desires and goals if this is an outright golden cage? Was he supposed to step in there voluntarily? The whole episode with his stay at the birthday party is designed to show how alien he looks there. It was not for nothing that Villa's father was shown to be so submissive and weak-willed. This fate would have awaited Simon if he had agreed to their terms and relations with the prince. And the whole drama around the Villa is shown for the same purpose, living in a place where nothing pleases you, but only keeps you in constant tension and stress, will not lead to anything good. And the problems with communication and support are just the same more from the Villa.
It was not easier to break up, it was hard for him to break up, Simon just went out this season. Ville dragged him away with him. And he made the decision to break up for his own good. And for your own, which, by the way, is right, to think first of all for yourself and understand what sacrifices you are ready to make and which you are not. Which is better, two unhappy teenagers or two happy ones? On both paths, they will have their own consequences from the choice. But, in my opinion, it is easier to solve problems when you are together, and not against each other.
@lil_sebastian: I reviewed the moment you wrote about (it's from the beginning of the third series, if anything). When Villa is already on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to his mother's illness, and Simon reads the comments all the time and explains this by saying that it is difficult for him to bear so much negativity. It is understandable, he has never had such an experience of publicity and he does not know how to deal with it. What Villa finally informs him, not via phone / SMS, but personally, that this is the price of life in his family, everyone will always discuss them in a bad light. From Simon's reaction, you can see that it is beginning to dawn on him (and it will finally come when the security service is finally sent to talk to him). And then he says that he hopes that the queen will recover, and is very worried about Villa at this moment. So saying that he didn't support him is somehow not ok. Maybe I'm watching some kind of extended version where they take care of each other, and not just quarrel) 🤔
OH GOOOOOOOOOOD!!! I was crying in the middle of the episode! it also felt like the episode was coming to an end (37 minutes was somewhere, the approximate end of the standard timekeeping), so in general the decay was complete. Only when I saw that this was the middle, some hope for the plot to be taxied nevertheless dawned. In general, as for the final, the process is still processing, as they say. But it was necessary to shout, because after such a tough season, there was simply no more strength left. I only have the strength to make sure that "well, well, well, really endgame" and throw out my exhale </3 But in general, it's a tinny thing that the emotional meat grinder has been all season! The happy ending still needs to be realized...
They made a happy ending on my knee and my mother immediately forgave and let me go...It's hard to believe. The only thing that upset me was the scene with the graduates to Simon's song. And of course, Villa's signature look at the camera, finally with a smile. In general, this season was somehow disappointing, the drama was so turned on and so unleashed in a second. It feels like 1 more episode was missing. But August will show the whole of Sweden where crayfish hibernate))))
I really can't believe this is the end of their story.. a wonderful series with a wonderful cast , I've been sitting and crying since the end for 30 minutes. I've become attached to this series once and for all, I can't imagine how I can continue to live without constantly waiting for a new season.. I was with these guys throughout the entire series, it breaks my heart. I will review it, and more than once.
when I started watching the series, I thought it would be a regular series about teenagers, but here it is, how did it happen that I cried half the series. It turned out well!<3
I didn't think I'd need handkerchiefs. We finished very touchingly, I wanted to write that this does not happen, but then I remembered that there were cases in history when kings chose their personal lives rather than the throne. I'm sorry about August. At least, unlucky in love - lucky in cards, hehe.
Well, this is already a fairy tale)) I was happy for the kids, but this is your absolute unrealistic ending, of course. It catches the eye. It's really hard to imagine a more naive denouement. It seems that all season we have been going in the direction of what guys are different and that because of this striking difference in views it is impossible for them to be together. It is possible only if the Villa renounces its monarchical origin and purpose. That is, from a significant part of yourself, well, it's a capital one. If you think about it that way. He said that he was abdicating the throne solely for himself, and in the same second AS he accelerated after Simon's car. I was screaming so hard at that moment, just out loud. Well, yes, for myself-for myself)) In no case is it to maintain a relationship with a person who does not fully accept you👍 And another moment: did you ask August? August of the sample of the first, even the second season, would immediately have answered in the affirmative to the opportunity to become Crown Prince. August of the sample of the end of the third season was clearly not happy about this prospect. In general, August is super-duper💞 I admire his height as a character, he is incredibly cool for the role of the monarch. I understand that it is difficult for people to understand complex characters)) But it still makes me sad how much he is hated in the fandom, as if no one has made mistakes in life themselves. And he also sincerely repented millions of times and how much money he will pay. And somehow, with all this, the only one left without an obvious happy ending at all🫠
Well, as for the fact that he refused the crown "not for himself", it is still controversial, if only because the opening scene of the entire series is literally Villa, who gets this whole crown across his throat. It is clear that he is a teenager, and this plot can be presented in any way — both as the fact that he accepts the crown, and as the fact that he is still maturing to give it up for real. There is also such a nuance that we have only 3 seasons to judge - there was/ is not even an elementary opportunity for the viewer to show a grown—up Villa, who would confirm that he supports the decision he made at the age of 17 anyway. That is, what is the main claim — that he has youthful maximalism? But we literally don't have the opportunity to see him (yet, anyway) at any other mature age. So we only have a year of the prince's life before our eyes and, nevertheless, yes, a story with the premise that you can choose who you become regardless of who you were born - which is what Villa comes to in 3 seasons, and Simon, in fact, is his trigger in this matter a litmus test, if you like, which simply reinforced the contrasts of life, and Villa was motivated to really make decisions about his future, and not sit in a golden cage for another 5 years with the hope that maybe he would endure-he would love. In general, if his character was still prescribed as a person to whom it does not suit, the timeline would not have changed anything significantly (17 would have been Villa, or 25), but since we found Villa as a teenager, then everything is presented as it was originally shown — Villa, who from the first frame did not I wanted to be a part of the royal court.
The season consists of sucked-out problems and a fan service. A new headmistress came with her own strict rules - we swam, we know. Simon fell from the moon, Villa endlessly yells and manipulates others. August and Sarah were hardly shown. And the ending is neither a happy ending, because this couple with Simon's conditions will not have any happy ending. If they had gone in different directions, there would have been at least some logic, because all 3 seasons show us that they are from different worlds, and so "the love of my life" lol, he was not ready to wait for you for 2 years, and you renounce everything for him and like mad at mom and dad Attacking…
And the whole season was spent on the disassembly of Villa and Simon, first on their fifth-graders relationship, then on endless shouting and disassembly and literally NONE of the characters were revealed anymore 🫠🫠 they threw in something about August and Eric and that's it
And I also wonder why everyone is so angry and hates August and Sarah for literally all seasons. That 's why they can 't be happy together either . At the moment when Villa (no offense, just the facts) literally yells at everyone, manipulates, threatened Augustine with a gun/ attacked him from behind, Simon is also far from a saint. Why does everyone turn a blind eye to this, as if it's super ok and everything is possible for them and is forgiven by default, and the only ones who have to apologize endlessly are Sarah and August🫠
Yes!! Literally at the beginning of the season, will said that August was to blame for the fact that will threatened him with a gun............... it's trash
@mousexenia: That's it! What is the fault of poor Sarah and why she was canceled-the whole world was hounded, I was already, to be honest, lost. As far as I remember, she didn't threaten anyone with a gun and didn't kick anyone in the back. I understand Ville as a character, but he crossed all possible boundaries so often that I could only sit and silently freak out.
@mousexenia: You know, the funny thing about that scene is that in the very first episode, August told Villa with such confidence that you can kill anyone and get away with it, and then he was like, You're going to answer for it! Huh, I love it
A great ending that leaves behind warm feelings) Personally, I don't care if it's too fabulous, imho this is not the kind of series format where they would arrange a sad ending where the main couple diverges. An option where Villa refuses nothing, and Simon goes into the shadows with him and lives according to the principle of "don't go there, then don't do" a happy ending and doesn't smell, so there was only one possible ending, and they arranged it) I cried the most on the scenes of Sarah and Felice, parting with friends is very hard and painful, I'm very glad that they eventually reconciled and left together. Of course, if there were more episodes and seasons, maybe something would have been revealed better, something else would have been added, and it would be great to see how they live now, how they cope with their new life, especially Villa, but knowing the way Netflix throws siriki in the middle, we can only be glad that they were given finish it. Thanks to them for this story 💔
It also seemed to me that the whole topic of class inequality was pushed through from time to time very clumsily. Is it really that teenagers have so much to talk about with each other than to interrogate obviously less well-off guys about whether they have ever been to the USA?))) Minor characters are poorly revealed, this is a fact. The role of Felice was largely reduced to the role of the main character, and it's sad. On the one hand, I was happy for Stella and Frederica, but on the other, judging by their micro-disclosure this season, they are not the most pleasant girls. Something like that🥲 But I was very (!) pleased with the friendship of Vincent, Nils and Augustus, healthy, supportive and so sweet.
I don't understand the attacks on the happy ending at all. Simon showed such courage, defending his principles to the end, and thus showed that you can choose yourself, even if it is a difficult choice (although he could happily run into the arms of a prince and live happily in a beautiful cold castle). A very strong-minded character. The way he fiercely defended his boundaries and disobeyed gave Villa the courage to do the same, choose himself and finally free himself, take control of his anxiety and explain everything without scandals. The perfect ending.
the young monarchs ended the way they should have, the Wilmons have an endgame and that's all that matters . I'm sad to say goodbye, but thank you for completing everything very logically and beautifully, without stretching it and without losing meaning. I will really miss the characters and the emotions they gave me.
The ending is of course a happy end, and having learned about it at the beginning of the first season, I would be incredibly pleased. But damn. How much of Wilhelm became brave, overstepped himself, sacrificed, and Simon did not grow in any way, just endlessly complained about everything. As if William deserved more, I just felt sorry for him throughout the season. Perhaps there was no need for so much drama or so much stretching, a measure is needed in everything, it is difficult to imagine how William does things, achieves, and they seem to give him consent by force. Of the rest, I would like to mention August, the excellent post of the character, as well as the friendship of Sarah and Felice. I was touched by the end of school, how cute it is that parents are standing with photos of their children, the party scene and August's forgiveness in front of Willie. Nevertheless, the story has sunk into my heart, despite the questions to the characters and the script. Thank you for such a fairy tale❤
I revised the ending, and now, of course, when you don't have to worry about the characters, it's much easier to do it) — although the moment with the song still makes you cry (especially this reference to the scene on the football field, which is just the top 3 most powerful scenes of the series). Honestly, yes, the finale has this fleur of fabulousness + it was given too "just"/ quickly relative to the dramatic intensity that unfolded all season. But, in general, I probably, from the point of view of the plot, see the point in this — in increasing the tension around Villa for him to finally make a fundamental decision, which he went to all three seasons. The gloom of season 3 in his arch literally pushed him to a decision, and without it, probably, a similar rejection of the crown would not have looked as organic — because why, if everything seems to be, if not good, then at least tolerable. And being forced to endure is not among the main values of the series. It was written above that the season seemed to lack 1 episode — and I think I agree with this, an additional episode — or an increase in the timing of ~ 20 minutes might have helped to present the ending a little more balanced, without such a strong contrast to the dramatic drama of 5.5 episodes later. But then again, maybe that's why the finale works, because without that intensity it might not have happened at this point yet.
@Clap_Again: but in general, Young Royals is like a beloved naughty child for me — he definitely has joints (and a lot), but love for him prevails and I want to protect him. In the end, this ending really feels like the one that both we and they deserve — as part of that project, which now will not go anywhere from cinematic history and which literally means that being yourself wins and love, as usual, also wins. I was just wondering under the last series, they say, the screenwriters wanted to make a series, how the characters tried-tried and nothing worked out — and here's the direct answer to my question, that no, the characters tried, it was hard for them, but they It worked out. Because besides the fact that being yourself and love are important, but your decisions entail consequences, and, as they said in the documentary about Villa, no, sometimes you can't take both, and this is the very detonator that finally forces you to decide with their true priorities. That's exactly what happens every time we have to choose.
@аngelina: I had a hope for an August spin-off, to be honest, after this finale, it would be great) Then, by the way, the breakup with Sarah would be explained by not dragging Simon and Villa into the new series, but taking only August separately. (Although I would have watched the spin-off purely about Hillershka with any other students in the school saved from closure :))
It is necessary to show certain difficulties all season, more or less bring them to a solution at the end, make a realistic, logical bittersweet ending, where everyone seems to begin a difficult healing process... and make a fabulous fanservice ending that magically solves all problems. Is it only decisive? How will this solve the problem with Internet bullying? What does it mean "I didn't give up on us, but on the royal family"? What is it? A season ago, Villa offered to give up the throne, and this option was not considered, how did it suddenly help wonderfully now? How is this particular rebellion any different from the past? And why did Villa have to decide, do, and give something back again, as always? And only give Simon ultimatums and throw them at the most difficult moments? In general, this is something from the category of "happily ever after", but in no case should you think about how it actually can be. I liked their couple in the first, a little in the second season, but in the end, Simon is the main disappointment of the series for me.
I liked the scene of Villa and August. I didn't like that it was postponed for two seasons, forcing one to boil in his own wine, the other in a rage.
August is interesting in general and its development (except for the undisclosed moment, whether with an eating disorder or something else), really suddenly turned out to be the most interesting character.
And the scene is the cutest with Nils's cuming-out and the reaction of the gang)
And the final five minutes slapped on the knee - well, that's it. I do not believe.
@Me-wow: I fully subscribe to your words. Only Villa has to give and risk everything, and "love is difficult and difficult" only Simon. And they noticed correctly about bullying, the fact that Villa will not be king does not mean that he is now an ordinary kid from the district. He also remained a member of the royal family and a media personality. And there's nothing stopping people from continuing to shit on him or his boyfriend. So what difference would it have made if Ville had become king and continued to date Simon? The effect is the same. They made a fairy tale, unfortunately, far from reality
Well, he doesn't want to be a king, being a prince he did everything from under the stick, he doesn't need it. In no episode has he ever shown that he would like to become one. I even discussed this issue with Boris, why he can't be a prince, what's difficult there, to cut the ribbons... But he can't, and that's it. Why should he become king if he doesn't want to? Just because you were born into a royal family? So they try to teach us the whole series that if you can't choose who to be, then you can at least choose how to live.
Yes, why does everyone want Simon to be a simple object of love for Villa, a pet, and not a living person? Simon refused the royal family, because the monarchy is an obstacle between them. The environment itself is devastating for both of them. He said that he could love the Villa, but was not obliged to love the monarchy with its internal laws, prohibitions, traditions. Yes, he chose the wrong moment to break up, but even Ville understood why he did it, which he shares with Felice. All season, Simon has been on the path of giving up himself for Villa. He was just doing and giving, but when he saw what it could lead to, how painful it was for him to see Villa like this, he honestly admitted that he couldn't stand it. He did not give an ultimatum: Either me or the throne. He said that he did not want Villa to be hurt, because of his presence, the situation was tense.
Did Villa offer to give up the throne in the second season? He only said that Augustus was his backup, and if Simon claimed him, he would lose the opportunity to give up the throne. That he would like to give up the throne for him, but it's still up to Simon to decide. Ville just shared his feelings, in the second season he was sure that Simon would never want to meet him again, and this confession was the last desperate step.
@Korben-baby: Well, to be honest, I don't see what Simon has given up on this season. They started bullying him on Instagram - did he close it? No, he was looking at his audience of thousands. He wanted to write a song with the words revolution and he posted the song. He wanted to go to the demonstration and even guessed that he would be recognized, and he went to the demonstration. He wanted to take a picture and then post it at his place, and he posted it. Only then was he asked to delete the insta, but this is a conflict sucked out of the finger. All media personalities have 2 accounts each, public and personal. I made a new closed one and there are no problems. He wanted to break up with Villa in his dr when he was crying, and he did it. Where did he make any concessions? Another moment when they discussed moving with Sarah and his friends, he again chose the city that he likes, and not Sarah, too, and without the opportunity to see his friends. Every time Simon chose himself, and this is a fact. Yes, their house was broken into, but it's not Villa's fault either. Simon did not issue an ultimatum, but he did not even deny that he was a communist. It's important to have your own principles, but damn it, either make out with the prince or go openly to a demonstration. Well, except that Simon went to the palace to the Villa on the dr, but this is like a base for any guy, and not a rejection of himself. Simon is far from the worst person in the world, but they wrote earlier that he and Villa would fight again in a month and again nothing would work out.
It's so interesting how different people see the situation so differently. I can see that of the two of them, Villa is more often focused only on himself and his problems, what others will think of him. He seeks support from Simon and Felice, too, but in return is not interested in what they are facing. It's the same with parents. This is normal, it is the cost of upbringing in the environment in which he grew up. And before that, his decisions were impulsive and did not take into account the opinions of other parties. He was manipulative and intemperate. But I hope now that he has freed himself from what weighed on him so much, he will finally learn to be a good friend/boyfriend/son, and understand that other people can also have their own worries, that the whole world does not revolve around the monarchy and their reputation. Simon played him every season until Villa finally learned to say what he wanted and ask what others wanted. I learned it the third time) Well, in general, both are good, but this is under-growth and this is their first serious relationship. They will learn to hear each other and everything will be fine with them!
Yes, I noticed that too. Villa is being selfish towards others! I've been thinking about it all season. Even at the end, Simon asks him, "did you give up the throne FOR ME??" and Villa replies, "no, for yourself..." well fucked up))))
@IzzyMini: Is he selfish? Or he behaves exactly as a seventeen-year-old teenager who fell in love and whose brother died should behave, plus the eternal setups from August + the influence of the lifestyle of the royal family + a sudden pile of responsibility that he did not ask for. And all this in six months. He had been told all his life that he was second in line to the throne, and that all his desires, needs and fears would wait. The only important thing is that he is the future king, and everything else should take a back seat. The fact that he is not completely bent, but fights and destroys everything and everything in this situation is generally super (yes, unfortunately, it hurts and affects others). But he's NOT selfish. He is really focused on himself because of external circumstances more than others, but he does not think about himself and how to arrange everything better in his favor, no, on the contrary, he thinks about Simon, all the time thinks about his duty to his brother, thinks about his mother and his responsibility to his family and the crown, He even helps Augustus when he doesn't know about his meanness yet. And the bullshit comes out of it at critical moments, and this is perfectly demonstrated.
About the last sentence. Simon has been telling him since the first season that he has to figure out for himself what he wants. Simon knows how to defend what is important to him, and expects the same from Villa, he is ready to make any decision that Villa will make first of all for himself. Not under pressure from the outside, but by himself, and for himself. Simon knows and sees how the current environment affects Villa and his decisions, that he constantly commits actions not in his favor. That's why it's so important that Ville chooses something for himself at last. And so Simon clarifies, "Did you do this for me?"" So Villa is telling him exactly what he has to, and that's the right thing to do.
@Korben-baby: I don't think Will helped August... He catches kringe from it all the time or is wildly furious. And he asked to dig up information in order to pin him down in front of everyone and help Simon out
@ryuryuryu: I got the impression that Augustus was helped after all by Wilhelm's suggestion. Even if he wanted to find out everything just for his own plans, things still moved forward after his request to deal with the issue.
But let's say if Villa really did not ask to resolve the issue with finances, it turns out that the court calculated the moves and considered August's status even before Villa's outright riots (but then they would have known about the financial condition of his family, wouldn't they). It's interesting. But maybe you're right, there was no direct request from Villa to help and pay for August's studies.
Oh, you know what a paradox I noticed) there are those who write that Villa has youthful maximalism, and even if he doesn't want to be king now, he will want to later (and at this age, they say, it's not the time for him to decide): So for some reason the same question does not come up about August) he is generally also close in age to Villa, but his love for the monarchy is not questioned because of this (as they do the same with Villa's dislike of the same monarchy). Theoretically, both real people and characters could change their views over time — I do not argue with this; but this is true, however, exactly to the same extent as the opposite is true: that some views and interests may not change.
and as for this particular story, even though I recognize the flaws in the presentation of the plot (where Fleur is a little fabulous, and the transition to a happy ending is harsh) - here I also pay attention to the fact that this very HE was laid down for boys initially, regardless of the number of seasons (take even information about the fact that the ending of the 2nd season could be in the first, if YR had only one season). Therefore, you can say "I don't believe" as much as you like that Villa was released by her mother this particular time, or that now she and Simon will be fine with all their differences, etc. but there would be, say, season 4 - even with another disagreement from her mother, pressure from the royal court or a showdown with Simon — it wouldn't have changed the essence of the matter. Unless there could just be more opportunity to reveal, and how the mother finally fully accepts the son's position, and how the boys begin to get better at supporting and hearing each other — in the end, we often forget that, however, they are teenagers — and this does not necessarily mean that nothing they will not work (especially when specifically here HE is laid at the root of the creation of history)).
@Clap_Again: I don't know about others, my main problem with this HE is that if it was conceived, it should have been brought to him this season, and the previous five and a half episodes showed us the opposite. For example, they would show how they discussed the issue of publicity at least once as something that unites them, and not just Simon's eternal nagging. Or how after these situations where they yell at each other and dump, they at least talked about it a little bit with each other, because they did it with others. In order not to push through the whole season the idea that it shouldn't be so difficult, and if it is, then something is wrong and we worked on it, and did not start another escape of Simon. And here the Villa is like this "I'm tired, I'm a fly swatter", and then what? He is still a member of this family and lives in the castle. He has not ceased to be wealthy and privileged, he has not ceased to be a recognizable person. Simon has not stopped treating the royal family as a relic of the past, and the conflict of interests has not been resolved. Villa's escape doesn't solve anything.
That's why these last five minutes don't fit in with the rest of the season and the issues raised there. If they were carefully glued to the end of the second, or even the first, it would look much more logical, but after that such a finale is foreign and meaningless. Well, in my opinion.
We really were left with a lot of understatement, it would be worth increasing the timing, but what do we have. Apparently, it was more important for the authors to give more drama to the end, to wind up the audience's emotions.
Yes, he will remain a part of the royal family, but now he will not be so limited in his actions. And their conflict of interest plays a key role in their relationship, they clung to each other because of it. This brings them closer together than it repels them. Opposites attract, if you will. Yes, there may be an element of unreality and fabulousness in this, but that's what the story inspires. If they were divorced, everyone would say, well, why, it's too tragic, let them stay together in spite of everything. And they didn't, again discontent, which is too fabulous. Well, it's not fabulous. They quarrel, but they continue to sort things out somehow, and this is the development of the relationship. It's stupid to split up just because they're from different worlds. Yes, it's more difficult than when people are from the same circle. They understand it themselves, they understand that everything goes wrong with them all the time, because they have different views. But they learn from each other. The main thing is that they realize it themselves. The rest will follow, after all, they are still too young to behave like adults, they can make mistakes and get bumps.
The show is based on Villa's transformation from a nervous child into a confident person in his words and actions. He decides and does what he does. And what it will lead to is left to our imagination. This is the open ending.
But damn, he looks so disheveled, happy and free in the car with Simon, he finally looks at the camera not like a hunted animal, but smiling, as if to say, trust me, I'll handle everything. It's hard to imagine another ending for him.
@Me-wow: as for summing up to HAE during the season — honestly, I myself would not give up more lampiness between Villa and Simon this season) (whether it's more scenes of mutual understanding, support, etc.). But thinking about how the season was built as a result led me to the conclusion (I already wrote somewhere above) that this was justified by the scripted need to bring Villa to the final decision to give up the crown (well, and also, probably, the desire to rattle the nerves of the audience, what's there)). In the end, I agree, the contrast really came out quite strong — but at the same time, it is the intensity of the spiraling drama that forces Villa to determine his values here and now, rather than settle for half measures - and this is what gives him a happy ending. That is, I definitely see the logic here, although I also understand the main general claim to the sudden HE. (We have already written, but it seems that this is a real question /timekeeping jamb, but there is nothing you can do here either.)
I didn't quite understand about Villa's escape, though, because, in my opinion, there was no escape (there was a chase:D but this is different)), it was about the decision that was made, after which Villa calmly got out of the car. Therefore, it was "escape" that would probably have solved less, because it would have been committed on a hot head, and in that scene, it seems to me, the Villa is shown in a completely balanced state :)
And plus to Corben's remark-baby about Villa's look at the end) here, no matter how unsuccessfully the plot was built somewhere - for me, too, you can't throw out the words from the song (look): I see that this look is exactly about Villa's confidence that he will cope with everything and everything will be fine.
@Korben-baby: :DD well, I was still worried in that scene that there might be ankhe, so I was rather not embarrassed, but anxious))) and my brain was urgently generating possible plot branches like "well, what, it really won't stop? as if Villa couldn't call him or come to his house and talk anyway" - and at the same time, I was panicking that maybe now they would show that, yes, he was happy without a crown, but they were still divorced with Simon — oh, and my heart was walking it's on fucking thin ice))) (and then, after all, this chase was also shown as something directly defining, that if it does not catch up / does not stop, then there really is no hope for everything, so I had a massacre inside for the fact that "well, then there will be another scene, another frame, it cannot be So that's it, please")) )
@Korben-baby: Not only that they are opposites. Their relationship also works well because they give each other exactly what they need. Villa constantly decides something, gets Simon and loves him just like that, which is important for that, because he always had to prove something to someone in order to be accepted. And Simon constantly seems to give him an incentive, which is important for Villa, because being a prince, everyone likes him anyway, to remember at least the beginning, where the guys in front of him are both this way and that, and he says that they can have their own opinion. and so Simon has his own opinion, and Villa still needs to win his love and show that he is capable of acting, and with him he can prove himself as a person. Simon has already let him go, wrote a farewell song, thought about where they could move to, but then Villa runs after his car and says she wants to be with him, and they leave together, my face at this second is just AAAAAAAAAAA
@Clap_Again: What I like the most is that Villa comes to Hillershka in a cool sports car so strict, sullen and forced. And he leaves of his own free will in Sarah's old Volvo - in love, happy and free! I can't think of a better one
@Korben-baby: oh what a cool parallel) so, while I was reviewing the series before season 3, I traditionally screamed at how Villa was fighting to stay in Hillershka, this parallel with his initial resistance is pure gold for me time after time)) but I didn't remember about the first car at all, thank you, my evening got a little better :P
Did you notice that the first episode of the first season ended with Willie looking directly into the camera, and the last episode of the third season ended like this too!!
In general, I began to review and notice in the last episode of the series references to the very first one 🤤
@ld02220: There are so many more discoveries waiting for you) Villa breaks through the fourth wall at the beginning of all the first episodes and at the end of all the last of each of the seasons. I'm afraid to count how many I've already reviewed. It's hard to leave this story.
The ending is 10/10. It seems like all the lines are closed. It was beautiful and sad. I burst into tears even from the realization that I was parting with my beloved boys
Ville (following Simon) left the monarchy. But still, there was no official abdication of the throne, and considering that his mother is recovering, she will still have the throne, and not Augustus ;)) In general, August would have to undergo a course of psychotherapy before becoming a receiver. By the way, I would watch the spinoff series about Augustus the King, because the mental problems there are worse than Villa's))
I was already ready for Simon and Villa to break up, moreover, it seemed to me that this was the best outcome for them... But Villa's decision turned everything upside down, and now I'm already sitting and enjoying the guys' happy ending. 😁🥰️
A sudden discovery: Did you know that the choirmaster is played by Natalia Edvall, who actually works as a choirmaster and music teacher in her life. She studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and then moved to Sweden. and I keep wondering why she has such an accent))))
I roared the whole episode, I remembered my first love and the pain of parting ... even though I am now married and have a child. Ha, interesting feelings)))
What an amazing series 🔥 it's necessary to shoot teenage (also inter-class) love SO beautifully and plausibly, there are just no words - 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 With each release of a new season, I started watching from the first and I think I'll review it completely more than once now. This is definitely the best series from the bl series. Although everything ended well with Villa and Simon, I just don't think that the queen would have been able to let the Crown Prince go so easily, somehow I can't believe it, but it will go for the movie, of course, for the sake of the beautiful happy last shots, I want to separately note the musical accompaniment - it's a cannon bomb just oh, in short, I'm under The impression is both after the first season and after the last. And of course a shot with Villa and a look at the camera at the end - in 💗
What a sweet moment with Felice... I love respect for other people's borders in TV series. By the end of the season, all the characters had revealed themselves for the better. In any situation, the main thing is to remain human.
How beautifully they have been finalised
I'm standing up for the closed arches separately!
What a fucking shot!
shook my nerves
, I love them very much.😭💔
I'm crying with happiness, from the glass, from the fact that this wonderful series is over, I
remember how at the age of 21, immediately after the release, I started watching how happy I was, how the series sunk into my soul, the actors and their game, music, picture, PLOT - everything is perfect here!
I am sure that I will review it more than once.
It's even a little sad for August that now he didn't get into this bondage, but there's nowhere to go...
What a good series!
It was amazing.😭😭
The best happy ending, everyone deserves it.
Thank you so much for the closed arches🥹
Willmon endgame!! 🫂🫀
I gave my heart to Villa and wish him only happiness
All 18 episodes showed that Wilhelm did not want to become a prince/king, they said a lot of times how important choice is, not who you were born with, why you decided that this was nonsense. It is very logical for him to give up the throne. Yes, he would be great as a monarch, but it's just not his.
The message of the series is about fighting for your ideals, no matter who you are, where you are and what circumstances you have, you can change it if you want.
I very much doubt that the queen will give up the throne in favor of an 18-year-old emotionally unstable and hormone-dependent youngster (well, only if she doesn't stretch her legs earlier). And August is not far from the Villa.
So the finale remains a fairy tale
And August there seems to have already understood what this threatens him with and is not very happy with the prospects of a monarch's life, with such a look he saw off Villa's escape from the car. But it is easier for him to console himself with the fact that it is very honorable, etc.
In short, it would be very interesting for me to see the sequel in the real world, so to speak
I didn't appreciate Simon's "problem", which was blown up to universal proportions, not to post some contradictory things on Instagram and be careful for a while, because all attention is focused on you and the royal family. I understand that it's really difficult when you get so much negativity as a teenager, but at some points it seemed to me that Simon didn't want to realize who he was dating and how his behavior affected Villa. And he also doesn't understand how much easier it will be for him if he doesn't read all these aggressive things from and instead takes care of his relationship, which he seems to have dreamed of so much. It was very selfish and weird. It was also strange when Wilhelm's mom started having health problems, but they still spent most of the time discussing how Simon felt bad that he couldn't post anything and not read the comment. I didn't notice Simon's support in this matter. It turned out that Wilhelm had a lot of things piled on him, and sometimes objectively more serious than Simon, but Simon was almost always the center of attention and support. Wilhelm was always apologizing for some of his emotions and weaknesses.
I noticed that Netflix generally likes to add some inexplicable drama to their shows to make it supposedly more interesting to watch: they did the same thing in the same Heartstopper, for example. But still, in my opinion, there were much more interesting complex and dramatic moments that could be promoted this season between Simon and Villa. I don't know, it didn't capture me and didn't make me worry about the characters even more, as in the first seasons, rather, it irritated and left me completely frustrated. This season seems to have a completely different vibe than the first two. There was a lot of drama in them too, but it was logical, reasonable, justified on both sides, and sometimes there was some kind of game. I found myself worrying more about Felice and Sarah's friendship or the arch of Augustus.
In general, I still have the most contradictory emotions from watching. It was as if they had been leading Wilhelm and Simon to break up all season, and their problems were not only that Villa was still part of the royal family — they were much, much deeper. These were problems with communication, support, willingness to compromise for the sake of a loved one, taking care of him at a difficult moment to the detriment of himself. And then at the end of the last episode, after all this maelstrom of very difficult relational problems, they reduced everything to the fact that their main problem was Villa's involvement in the kingdom, and since this area is gone, then there are no more problems. That's not so. This is illogical and strange.
So much has been done this season that I wanted not just a happy ending, but a solution to difficulties and contradictions. Why did they lose touch right now, because it was just as difficult before? Why did it become so hard to compromise and forget about your feelings for the sake of a loved one in greater trouble, because this used to happen? Why did it become easier to break up than to fight for a relationship that has now even become clearer, more official, having gone through many important sacrifices and difficulties, as they both dreamed of? There were no answers to these questions, only a beautiful scene at the end. The only good thing is that Villa gave up the throne not for the sake of a relationship, but for himself. This is one of my favorite series and one of my favorite couples, and I would like nothing more than to be happy for their happy ending. But after the events of the last season, I can't feel it, unfortunately. So far, only such thoughts.
Why should Simon give up his desires and goals if this is an outright golden cage? Was he supposed to step in there voluntarily?
The whole episode with his stay at the birthday party is designed to show how alien he looks there. It was not for nothing that Villa's father was shown to be so submissive and weak-willed. This fate would have awaited Simon if he had agreed to their terms and relations with the prince.
And the whole drama around the Villa is shown for the same purpose, living in a place where nothing pleases you, but only keeps you in constant tension and stress, will not lead to anything good. And the problems with communication and support are just the same more from the Villa.
It was not easier to break up, it was hard for him to break up, Simon just went out this season. Ville dragged him away with him. And he made the decision to break up for his own good. And for your own, which, by the way, is right, to think first of all for yourself and understand what sacrifices you are ready to make and which you are not. Which is better, two unhappy teenagers or two happy ones? On both paths, they will have their own consequences from the choice. But, in my opinion, it is easier to solve problems when you are together, and not against each other.
So saying that he didn't support him is somehow not ok. Maybe I'm watching some kind of extended version where they take care of each other, and not just quarrel) 🤔
In general, as for the final, the process is still processing, as they say. But it was necessary to shout, because after such a tough season, there was simply no more strength left. I only have the strength to make sure that "well, well, well, really endgame" and throw out my exhale </3
But in general, it's a tinny thing that the emotional meat grinder has been all season! The happy ending still needs to be realized...
The only thing that upset me was the scene with the graduates to Simon's song. And of course, Villa's signature look at the camera, finally with a smile.
In general, this season was somehow disappointing, the drama was so turned on and so unleashed in a second. It feels like 1 more episode was missing.
But August will show the whole of Sweden where crayfish hibernate))))
, I've been sitting and crying since the end for 30 minutes. I've become attached to this series once and for all, I can't imagine how I can continue to live without constantly waiting for a new season.. I was with these guys throughout the entire series, it breaks my heart. I will review it, and more than once.
I'm sorry about August. At least, unlucky in love - lucky in cards, hehe.
It seems that all season we have been going in the direction of what guys are different and that because of this striking difference in views it is impossible for them to be together.
It is possible only if the Villa renounces its monarchical origin and purpose. That is, from a significant part of yourself, well, it's a capital one. If you think about it that way. He said that he was abdicating the throne solely for himself, and in the same second AS he accelerated after Simon's car. I was screaming so hard at that moment, just out loud. Well, yes, for myself-for myself)) In no case is it to maintain a relationship with a person who does not fully accept you👍
And another moment: did you ask August? August of the sample of the first, even the second season, would immediately have answered in the affirmative to the opportunity to become Crown Prince. August of the sample of the end of the third season was clearly not happy about this prospect.
In general, August is super-duper💞 I admire his height as a character, he is incredibly cool for the role of the monarch. I understand that it is difficult for people to understand complex characters)) But it still makes me sad how much he is hated in the fandom, as if no one has made mistakes in life themselves. And he also sincerely repented millions of times and how much money he will pay. And somehow, with all this, the only one left without an obvious happy ending at all🫠
There is also such a nuance that we have only 3 seasons to judge - there was/ is not even an elementary opportunity for the viewer to show a grown—up Villa, who would confirm that he supports the decision he made at the age of 17 anyway. That is, what is the main claim — that he has youthful maximalism? But we literally don't have the opportunity to see him (yet, anyway) at any other mature age. So we only have a year of the prince's life before our eyes and, nevertheless, yes, a story with the premise that you can choose who you become regardless of who you were born - which is what Villa comes to in 3 seasons, and Simon, in fact, is his trigger in this matter a litmus test, if you like, which simply reinforced the contrasts of life, and Villa was motivated to really make decisions about his future, and not sit in a golden cage for another 5 years with the hope that maybe he would endure-he would love. In general, if his character was still prescribed as a person to whom it does not suit, the timeline would not have changed anything significantly (17 would have been Villa, or 25), but since we found Villa as a teenager, then everything is presented as it was originally shown — Villa, who from the first frame did not I wanted to be a part of the royal court.
Perhaps you could forget the end of the second season, where Simon confesses and says that he is ready to wait and even keep everything a secret
Huh, I love it
Personally, I don't care if it's too fabulous, imho this is not the kind of series format where they would arrange a sad ending where the main couple diverges.
An option where Villa refuses nothing, and Simon goes into the shadows with him and lives according to the principle of "don't go there, then don't do" a happy ending and doesn't smell, so there was only one possible ending, and they arranged it)
I cried the most on the scenes of Sarah and Felice, parting with friends is very hard and painful, I'm very glad that they eventually reconciled and left together.
Of course, if there were more episodes and seasons, maybe something would have been revealed better, something else would have been added, and it would be great to see how they live now, how they cope with their new life, especially Villa, but knowing the way Netflix throws siriki in the middle, we can only be glad that they were given finish it.
Thanks to them for this story 💔
But I was very (!) pleased with the friendship of Vincent, Nils and Augustus, healthy, supportive and so sweet.
A nice hint)
. I'm sad to say goodbye, but thank you for completing everything very logically and beautifully, without stretching it and without losing meaning. I will really miss the characters and the emotions they gave me.
Nevertheless, the story has sunk into my heart, despite the questions to the characters and the script. Thank you for such a fairy tale❤
Honestly, yes, the finale has this fleur of fabulousness + it was given too "just"/ quickly relative to the dramatic intensity that unfolded all season. But, in general, I probably, from the point of view of the plot, see the point in this — in increasing the tension around Villa for him to finally make a fundamental decision, which he went to all three seasons. The gloom of season 3 in his arch literally pushed him to a decision, and without it, probably, a similar rejection of the crown would not have looked as organic — because why, if everything seems to be, if not good, then at least tolerable. And being forced to endure is not among the main values of the series.
It was written above that the season seemed to lack 1 episode — and I think I agree with this, an additional episode — or an increase in the timing of ~ 20 minutes might have helped to present the ending a little more balanced, without such a strong contrast to the dramatic drama of 5.5 episodes later. But then again, maybe that's why the finale works, because without that intensity it might not have happened at this point yet.
In the end, this ending really feels like the one that both we and they deserve — as part of that project, which now will not go anywhere from cinematic history and which literally means that being yourself wins and love, as usual, also wins.
I was just wondering under the last series, they say, the screenwriters wanted to make a series, how the characters tried-tried and nothing worked out — and here's the direct answer to my question, that no, the characters tried, it was hard for them, but they It worked out. Because besides the fact that being yourself and love are important, but your decisions entail consequences, and, as they said in the documentary about Villa, no, sometimes you can't take both, and this is the very detonator that finally forces you to decide with their true priorities. That's exactly what happens every time we have to choose.
It's a pity that he and Sarah didn't work out.
(Although I would have watched the spin-off purely about Hillershka with any other students in the school saved from closure :))
I liked the scene of Villa and August. I didn't like that it was postponed for two seasons, forcing one to boil in his own wine, the other in a rage.
August is interesting in general and its development (except for the undisclosed moment, whether with an eating disorder or something else), really suddenly turned out to be the most interesting character.
And the scene is the cutest with Nils's cuming-out and the reaction of the gang)
And the final five minutes slapped on the knee - well, that's it. I do not believe.
And they noticed correctly about bullying, the fact that Villa will not be king does not mean that he is now an ordinary kid from the district. He also remained a member of the royal family and a media personality. And there's nothing stopping people from continuing to shit on him or his boyfriend. So what difference would it have made if Ville had become king and continued to date Simon? The effect is the same.
They made a fairy tale, unfortunately, far from reality
Simon refused the royal family, because the monarchy is an obstacle between them. The environment itself is devastating for both of them. He said that he could love the Villa, but was not obliged to love the monarchy with its internal laws, prohibitions, traditions. Yes, he chose the wrong moment to break up, but even Ville understood why he did it, which he shares with Felice.
All season, Simon has been on the path of giving up himself for Villa. He was just doing and giving, but when he saw what it could lead to, how painful it was for him to see Villa like this, he honestly admitted that he couldn't stand it. He did not give an ultimatum: Either me or the throne. He said that he did not want Villa to be hurt, because of his presence, the situation was tense.
Did Villa offer to give up the throne in the second season? He only said that Augustus was his backup, and if Simon claimed him, he would lose the opportunity to give up the throne. That he would like to give up the throne for him, but it's still up to Simon to decide. Ville just shared his feelings, in the second season he was sure that Simon would never want to meet him again, and this confession was the last desperate step.
Simon is far from the worst person in the world, but they wrote earlier that he and Villa would fight again in a month and again nothing would work out.
I can see that of the two of them, Villa is more often focused only on himself and his problems, what others will think of him. He seeks support from Simon and Felice, too, but in return is not interested in what they are facing. It's the same with parents. This is normal, it is the cost of upbringing in the environment in which he grew up. And before that, his decisions were impulsive and did not take into account the opinions of other parties. He was manipulative and intemperate. But I hope now that he has freed himself from what weighed on him so much, he will finally learn to be a good friend/boyfriend/son, and understand that other people can also have their own worries, that the whole world does not revolve around the monarchy and their reputation.
Simon played him every season until Villa finally learned to say what he wanted and ask what others wanted. I learned it the third time)
Well, in general, both are good, but this is under-growth and this is their first serious relationship. They will learn to hear each other and everything will be fine with them!
Or he behaves exactly as a seventeen-year-old teenager who fell in love and whose brother died should behave, plus the eternal setups from August + the influence of the lifestyle of the royal family + a sudden pile of responsibility that he did not ask for. And all this in six months.
He had been told all his life that he was second in line to the throne, and that all his desires, needs and fears would wait. The only important thing is that he is the future king, and everything else should take a back seat. The fact that he is not completely bent, but fights and destroys everything and everything in this situation is generally super (yes, unfortunately, it hurts and affects others). But he's NOT selfish.
He is really focused on himself because of external circumstances more than others, but he does not think about himself and how to arrange everything better in his favor, no, on the contrary, he thinks about Simon, all the time thinks about his duty to his brother, thinks about his mother and his responsibility to his family and the crown, He even helps Augustus when he doesn't know about his meanness yet. And the bullshit comes out of it at critical moments, and this is perfectly demonstrated.
About the last sentence. Simon has been telling him since the first season that he has to figure out for himself what he wants. Simon knows how to defend what is important to him, and expects the same from Villa, he is ready to make any decision that Villa will make first of all for himself. Not under pressure from the outside, but by himself, and for himself. Simon knows and sees how the current environment affects Villa and his decisions, that he constantly commits actions not in his favor. That's why it's so important that Ville chooses something for himself at last. And so Simon clarifies, "Did you do this for me?""
So Villa is telling him exactly what he has to, and that's the right thing to do.
But let's say if Villa really did not ask to resolve the issue with finances, it turns out that the court calculated the moves and considered August's status even before Villa's outright riots (but then they would have known about the financial condition of his family, wouldn't they). It's interesting.
But maybe you're right, there was no direct request from Villa to help and pay for August's studies.
So for some reason the same question does not come up about August) he is generally also close in age to Villa, but his love for the monarchy is not questioned because of this (as they do the same with Villa's dislike of the same monarchy).
Theoretically, both real people and characters could change their views over time — I do not argue with this; but this is true, however, exactly to the same extent as the opposite is true: that some views and interests may not change.
Therefore, you can say "I don't believe" as much as you like that Villa was released by her mother this particular time, or that now she and Simon will be fine with all their differences, etc. but there would be, say, season 4 - even with another disagreement from her mother, pressure from the royal court or a showdown with Simon — it wouldn't have changed the essence of the matter. Unless there could just be more opportunity to reveal, and how the mother finally fully accepts the son's position, and how the boys begin to get better at supporting and hearing each other — in the end, we often forget that, however, they are teenagers — and this does not necessarily mean that nothing they will not work (especially when specifically here HE is laid at the root of the creation of history)).
And here the Villa is like this "I'm tired, I'm a fly swatter", and then what? He is still a member of this family and lives in the castle. He has not ceased to be wealthy and privileged, he has not ceased to be a recognizable person. Simon has not stopped treating the royal family as a relic of the past, and the conflict of interests has not been resolved. Villa's escape doesn't solve anything.
That's why these last five minutes don't fit in with the rest of the season and the issues raised there. If they were carefully glued to the end of the second, or even the first, it would look much more logical, but after that such a finale is foreign and meaningless. Well, in my opinion.
Yes, he will remain a part of the royal family, but now he will not be so limited in his actions. And their conflict of interest plays a key role in their relationship, they clung to each other because of it. This brings them closer together than it repels them. Opposites attract, if you will. Yes, there may be an element of unreality and fabulousness in this, but that's what the story inspires. If they were divorced, everyone would say, well, why, it's too tragic, let them stay together in spite of everything. And they didn't, again discontent, which is too fabulous. Well, it's not fabulous. They quarrel, but they continue to sort things out somehow, and this is the development of the relationship. It's stupid to split up just because they're from different worlds. Yes, it's more difficult than when people are from the same circle.
They understand it themselves, they understand that everything goes wrong with them all the time, because they have different views. But they learn from each other. The main thing is that they realize it themselves. The rest will follow, after all, they are still too young to behave like adults, they can make mistakes and get bumps.
The show is based on Villa's transformation from a nervous child into a confident person in his words and actions. He decides and does what he does. And what it will lead to is left to our imagination. This is the open ending.
But damn, he looks so disheveled, happy and free in the car with Simon, he finally looks at the camera not like a hunted animal, but smiling, as if to say, trust me, I'll handle everything.
It's hard to imagine another ending for him.
But thinking about how the season was built as a result led me to the conclusion (I already wrote somewhere above) that this was justified by the scripted need to bring Villa to the final decision to give up the crown (well, and also, probably, the desire to rattle the nerves of the audience, what's there)).
In the end, I agree, the contrast really came out quite strong — but at the same time, it is the intensity of the spiraling drama that forces Villa to determine his values here and now, rather than settle for half measures - and this is what gives him a happy ending. That is, I definitely see the logic here, although I also understand the main general claim to the sudden HE. (We have already written, but it seems that this is a real question /timekeeping jamb, but there is nothing you can do here either.)
I didn't quite understand about Villa's escape, though, because, in my opinion, there was no escape (there was a chase:D but this is different)), it was about the decision that was made, after which Villa calmly got out of the car. Therefore, it was "escape" that would probably have solved less, because it would have been committed on a hot head, and in that scene, it seems to me, the Villa is shown in a completely balanced state :)
And plus to Corben's remark-baby about Villa's look at the end) here, no matter how unsuccessfully the plot was built somewhere - for me, too, you can't throw out the words from the song (look): I see that this look is exactly about Villa's confidence that he will cope with everything and everything will be fine.
and the end :D
(and then, after all, this chase was also shown as something directly defining, that if it does not catch up / does not stop, then there really is no hope for everything, so I had a massacre inside for the fact that "well, then there will be another scene, another frame, it cannot be So that's it, please")) )
Simon has already let him go, wrote a farewell song, thought about where they could move to, but then Villa runs after his car and says she wants to be with him, and they leave together, my face at this second is just AAAAAAAAAAA
but I didn't remember about the first car at all, thank you, my evening got a little better :P
And not Simon, who thinks only about himself and his feelings))
In general, I began to review and notice in the last episode of the series references to the very first one 🤤
Villa breaks through the fourth wall at the beginning of all the first episodes and at the end of all the last of each of the seasons.
I'm afraid to count how many I've already reviewed. It's hard to leave this story.
In general, August would have to undergo a course of psychotherapy before becoming a receiver. By the way, I would watch the spinoff series about Augustus the King, because the mental problems there are worse than Villa's))

Did you know that the choirmaster is played by Natalia Edvall, who actually works as a choirmaster and music teacher in her life. She studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and then moved to Sweden.
and I keep wondering why she has such an accent))))
I love respect for other people's borders in TV series.
By the end of the season, all the characters had revealed themselves for the better. In any situation, the main thing is to remain human.
