The Way Of The Househusband Season 3
Okay, people, let's talk about something important. Something near and dear to my heart (and hopefully yours). I'm talking about The Way of the Househusband! Specifically, the potential – or lack thereof – of a season 3.
Don't get me wrong. I love Tatsu. He's the ex-yakuza turned domestic god we all deserve. He's the reason I almost bought a floral apron (almost!).
Season 1: Pure Gold
Season one was amazing, right? Short, sweet, and packed with hilarious moments. Tatsu battling dust bunnies with the intensity he once used on rival gangs? Genius!
Must Read
We saw his dedication to Miku and her career. We also witnessed him making bento boxes look like an art form. I honestly learned a few cleaning tips from that season.
Season 2: Diminishing Returns?
Then came season two. And… well, it was okay. It wasn't bad, exactly. But something felt…off.
The jokes felt a bit repetitive. The situations were a tad predictable. Did anyone else feel that way?
Maybe the novelty wore off. Maybe the shock value of a former gangster obsessing over housework lost its edge. Whatever it was, season 2 didn’t quite hit the same.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Here's where I might lose some of you. My unpopular opinion? I don't necessarily need a season three. Gasp! I know, I know.
Hear me out! Sometimes, less is more. Some shows are perfect in their brevity. Continuing a series just for the sake of it can dilute the original charm.
The Way of the Househusband had a great run. Two seasons of delightful absurdity. Do we really want to risk ruining that with a potentially weaker third?
Consider it a well-made bento box. Perfectly portioned. Satisfying. Do you really need to add more just because there's room in the box?
What Could Work (Maybe?)
Okay, okay, if they did make a season three, what would make it good? What would get me excited again?
First, they need to shake things up. Throw Tatsu into new and unexpected situations. Something beyond grocery shopping and cleaning emergencies.
Imagine Tatsu running for local office. Or teaching a cooking class to a group of terrified housewives. The possibilities are endless!
But most importantly? They need to recapture the heart. The sweet, genuine relationship between Tatsu and Miku. That's what made the show so special.
If they focus on the characters and their growth, then maybe, just maybe, a season three could be amazing. But if it's just more of the same? I'm happy to remember the first season fondly and leave it at that.
Ultimately, the decision is up to the powers that be. But in the meantime, I'll be over here re-watching Tatsu tackle laundry like a boss. Because that's a show I'll never get tired of. What do you think?
