I don't think it was nesscary to have shorts. I mean, I like that it develops the side characters, but I was thinking the series would be set around what goes on after the original movie. I.e I like how it shows what happened at the wedding while they were talking with the flashback. But it felt like it didnt have as much significance to the story as you think it would if the episodes were long and more connected. Like an actual series with a storyline. There were so many different ways they could have gone about doing the series. I just wish there was more or the episodes were longer in general.
