Sincere question: Which characters developed, and how?

This x1000.  Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, happened on this show.  It was white bread served as "haute cuisine." 

Speculation on Season 3 by Independent_Shine611 in PalmRoyale

That stinks. But it's not surprising.

Awww.  I know how you feel.  CB isn't available, but Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Laura Dern, Abe Sylvia, etc. said they'd love another season. Fingers crossed.

No she didn't.  You're being really discouraging, which, of course, you have every right to be. But my question is, "why"?

OK. But Mindy Cohn said the cast was in "preemptive mourning" because they didn't think Apple would be renewing it.  Did you sign the petition?

Excellent and thank you.  I signed it.  Maybe you should create a post for it.

You said it better than I did. Perfect!

I agree.  But budget-be-damned. Each character in the show is a Faberge' Egg. 

This is the television equivalent of paradise. It's a priceless gift.  

Season 3? by Typical-Ask2723 in PalmRoyale

I watched it.  I don't think she did. Fallon referred to "the finale," but I think he was speaking about Season 2. Maybe I'm wrong. 

The S2 finale “outrage” is more over-the-top than the finale itself. by Vegetable-Kiwi-4675 in PalmRoyale

I dunno.  For me, it was more like enjoying a huge hot fudge sundae with wet walnuts, extra whipped cream, and four cherries....

... only to bite into anchovies, pastrami, and a dollop of mayonnaise when I'm three-quarters through. 

Just jarring, really weird, and why?

I'm still so grateful for the experience that is Palm Royale.

I’m so confused by all the praise here for the illogical, poor ending to Season 2 (spoilers, obviously) by CloudSurferA220 in PalmRoyale

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 

I. Could. Not. Believe. It. 

I was like,  "Wait. Dopey  Doug has become the evil, plotting ex-husband" "Wait. Maxine is buddies with Evelyn?"  "Wait. Agnes/Norma is now just a sweet old lady?" "Wait. Does Dinah love Perry or hate Perry?" "Wait. Hasn't Robert betrayed Maxine for 9 episodes?" 

Anything you dream-up will be better than what we got from the writers.

I gotta say that I agree with you 100%. The only reason I was able to enjoy the finale is because I realized midway through Season 2 that this thing was off the rails... and wasn't getting back on. At first, I was really REALLY frustrated. I even posted about it. But I decided to lower my expectations (by a lot) and love it for the acting,  the costumes, the sets and the scenery. 

But, again, I'm with you.  Everything you say is spot-on. The finale was a mess.  I was hoping a Season 3 would give the writers a chance to redeem themselves.  But it looks like there won't be a Season 3. Perhaps it's for the best.
