Survival of the Thickest has been one of Netflix’s best and most underrated romantic comedy TV shows. We didn’t appreciate it enough. The brilliant series came to an end in 2026 and used the final season to throw some big punches at the fashion industry and showcase the burden and glory of womanhood. It also gave Mavis (Michelle Buteau) and friends some major milestones.
It was a hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing journey for Mavis and the audience. I was expecting plenty of laughs and love this season, but it went down a route I wasn’t expecting at all, and it gave the show one of its most captivating storylines.
