In those final moments reminiscing about their time in Miami, a cast member jokingly said, “You kinda took my spot,” which got everyone teasing one another light-heartedly. The fans who noticed the light-hearted banter responded on social with one laughing: “Not you kinda took my spot,” and another commenting: “Reginae always throwing shade.”

The energies between the ladies were very real, and one viewer commented, “They all seem like they’re ALL close, and blood couldn’t make them any closer.” Another fan applauded the representation, saying, “We need to see more women loving on each other, not that ratchet shit.”

It was almost impossible to talk about the intoxicating life of the series without feeling a pang of sorrow for its end. “I can’t believe that it’s over. This was so much fun!” expressed one fan with a heavy heart. Others would also love for there to be more, “Love it, I wish it was more.”

The ending led some people to dissect the cast’s dynamic a little more, especially following Reginae Carter’s jab. Some fans held that it was a joke, while some speculated about editing. “It probably got edited that way,” suggested a user. “I’ve noticed shows doing that for people to tune in on craziness, and it wasn’t like that.”

Astrology came in as well, with one fan commenting, ‘Nae such a Sagittarius, just extra,’ with another one chiming in, ‘Reginae is definitely a Sagittarius—we always have to say what’s on our mind.’

For those who missed out, the series is on ESSENCE’s YouTube Channel. Plenty of commenters were even directing others to that said channel.

Their bond forged from the finale, the very essence—or perhaps from this show—celebrated togetherness and joy amongst Black women. An equally joyful fan agreed with that statement: ‘Oh, what a time to be alive.’
