What a fitting finale for a fabulously funny but also sweetly smexy series! Juniper Ridge was always going to be a winner for me - I mean it's a small town reality experiment based on a former cult compound! It couldn't not be funny!
Lana and Dal seem are complete opposites. She is sunshine personified and he's the broody, grumpy but ever so talented chef. I loved the way that his brother was not above using his disability to make Dal do what he wants! There was no depicting the disabled community (of which I am a member)as being angelic - we have a$$holes & manipulators just like every other minority. Thankfully Dal's brother uses his powers for good!
Dal and Lana are flawed whilst still trying to be the best they can be. Dal uses his food to bring light to his customers, Lana tries to make everyone around her happy - to her own detriment most of the time. There were parts of the story that were really emotional for me and I loved that the characters went through the wringer, there was no sailing into a HEA - they had to work for it.
Whilst I'm not a huge fan of reality TV IRL - I'd defo watch Juniper Ridge! Some of my favourite scenes are the little confessional diary room scenes. A beautiful mix of sweet, smexy and sarcastically funny.
I really hope we get to meet the Judson's and co in other stories 'cos they are just too funny not to crop up and cause mayhem for others!
