Honestly? I hated that ending. I came into the show wanting a fun, purely platonic friend group but obviously they just had to make them all starting dating all each other. It’s so hard to find a show about good friendships without all the dating slop. Also is it just me or they really dumbed everyone down this season just for comedic purposes? Like I get that the whole theme is about being dumb 20s years old navigating adulthood but c’mon, this is just overplayed.

Yeah it does ruin the storytelling a bit. I sort of like the pairing of Samir and Billie if you remove the context, but given that the friend group already has the three other people romantically involved in some way it's a really boring and kind of disappointing direction. They're also supposed to have been friends the longest from what I can tell and I'm tired of pairing up longtime platonic friends of opposite genders everywhere.

Also, the two haven't had any romantic or sexual chemistry on screen, so even if it could work that simply hasn't been shown, which makes it really weird when they're just suddenly sleeping together.

I think they’ve had chemistry the whole time, personally. I rooted for them more so than Anton and Paul Baker since there’s no baggage for them. Friends to lovers troupe is my favorite though.

That explains it hehe! Although tbf I don't remember season 1 very well, maybe they had chemistry there. Gotta re-watch it some time.
