good episode with a bad scene
In what was otherwise a satisfying ending to another fantastic season of this show, there is a scene where Shoresy sits down with his family that made me pretty uncomfortable. I have watched all of Letterkenny multiple times, as well as this spinoff show, and while Jared Keeso doesn't come off as a dyed-in-the-wool progressive he's not exactly conservative either (see the ending to Hard Right Jay). So, including a scene where the conversation randomly steers towards "guys in women's clothes," which is not challenged or argued with in any significant way by the chief characters, came off as the writers being intentionally hurtful and bigoted.
I see the 10/10 review here which argues that this scene humanizes Shoresy and builds his character. I honestly thought the opposite. Shoresy has gone from a faceless one-liner factory in Letterkenny, to a sensitive soul deeply caring of his team and teammates. Season 1 and most of season 2 have that recurring theme of Care; of building a team from the ground up and putting in the work till it pays off. The show takes a lot of that good will and throws it in the garbage during this scene in the season finale. Shoresy suddenly reverts back to his horrible self from several seasons of Letterkenny ago, just for a few lines, and then in the next scene he's supposedly back to his good humanized self again.
Whatever the writers were trying to do here, whatever message they were trying to convey, it missed the mark. I'm inclined to give Keeso benefit of the doubt based on his other work, but if this trend continues in later episodes, that will become difficult to defend.
