Season 3 of Star is honestly a mixed bag, but when it addresses generational trauma and growth, it reminds you why you fell in love with the series.
What is a Star season finale without wiping out characters whose storyline weren’t going anywhere and cliffhangers for the main cast?
A lot of family drama gets addressed, but only a handful of it gets resolutions. Can you guess which one?
With Star flailing, she decides to do something drastic. However, her actions don’t compare to Simone’s which may have gotten someone killed.
With Star away, everyone is making up for the drama she usually brings. Yet, for some, they are just milking their moment for it’s long overdue.

Nalex makes a platonic appearance as Simone takes on Atlanta’s city council and Mateo’s past enters his present.
Star returns with Cassie facing Calvin, Star and Charlene coming to blows, Noah adjusting to fatherhood and Simone watching everything catch on fire.
You may have thought the reveal of Star’s baby would be the big surprise, but oh it most certainly is not.
With the mid-season finale next week, Star is clearly setting us up to be in our feelings.
Everyone’s romantic relationships are hanging on by a tip of a finger and a grand gesture only fixes one. Can you guess which?
Love and distrust are in the air and with it being Star, you know no one is having an easy time dealing with their feelings.

As Star and Noah worth through their daddy issues, Cassie and Carlotta’s beef reaches a boiling point. Also, Miss Bruce may get a man.
As we finally learn who Star’s baby daddy is, most of the cast is trying to deal with their past so that it doesn’t impede the joy pending in their future.
Three months have passed, and we learn the results of the multiple cliffhangers of the last season. While adding one for a past season favorite this episode.
The second half of season 2 of Star, seemingly is about cutting any and all fat so that season 3 can refocus on core characters.
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for many on Star. But ain’t a single person feeling good about the cards given to them.
The characters of Star all go through so much this episode that even trying to figure out what may happen in the finale will depend if the writers will get their foot off our necks.
Things have been kind of holding together, but falling apart for awhile. But, as Alex’s star rises, and she begins to really leave Take Three behind, Star finds herself making some moves.
Sexual assault, LGBT issues, alongside Ayanna making a triumphant return is featured. Alongside your usual relationship drama.
Many of the relationships end up in jeopardy as third parties try to get involved. But, at least with one new third party, it seems everyone’s career may be moving forward.
Clearly, everyone at Midtown needs a few rounds of therapy. For between using sex and alcohol to cope, there is going to come a moment when someone doesn’t get to be so lucky.

The drama begins to rev up as old memories and characters begin haunting our leads, as well as possible new love interests.
The show returns, the drama continues, but now there is a secret of what happened in the 10 days since the mid-season finale.
The first half of Star Season 2 pushes us 5 months after the season 1 finale and it seems despite the major career step, everyone’s personal lives remain in disarray.
Star leaves us with the kind of cliffhanger which seems like a desperate move for ratings vs. for the betterment of the story.
Be it the recent or distant past, everyone’s seems to be thrown up in their face. If not in an untrustworthy person’s hands, through reminders of recent failings.
Alex really begins to take center stage but best believe that Star isn’t going to let that last for too long.
As the pressure to get into the showcase rises, so does Derek with someone who isn’t Alex and Jahil with Ayanna.
We are introduced to the new name of the group, Take Three, and police brutality returns to focus for Star.
With Brody’s return comes the reminder of the effect of Mary’s death and we’re also reminded people have lives outside of their work w/ Star.
As Alex begins breaking under pressure, the girls continue to push Ayanna’s buttons and leave Carlotta to clean up their mess.
5 months have passed since Star: Season 1 ended and damn! Wait till you find out what happened.
When you got a formula which works, in which you can just change the actors (physically but keeping similar personalities), tinker with the storyline, and make something new, you use that! That is what Ryan Murphy has been doing for years and with Lee Daniels really gaining a lot of commercial notoriety with Empire, that…
Star ends with a bang, a bit of redemption, and a few body bags to take out characters who outlived their purpose.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
