- Brando and Fabio. Okay, so I know it’s the typical closeted homophobic boy falls in love with the guy he’s been bullying story, but I couldn’t help myself. Maybe it’s the easy charm of Mirko Trovato who made Brando into so much more. But I’ve loved their scenes from the start, and this season was so good for them. I would have loved to get more than what we did, but the show’s always been much more focused on Chiara, Ludo and Damiano, so I didn’t really expect longer screen time. But Brando telling the police about his dad after he didn’t want him to see Fabio, and going to the party just for him, and all the talks through the door... perfect! And of course all the little moments at the beach, and that scene at the end where they made it clear that they ended up together. Standouts of course have to be the reunion set to Medicine by Daughter (a perfect song choice for them.) The playful way they smile at each other, Brando teasingly telling him to go when they both know he’s not going anywhere. And the big coming out kiss to the school, with Brando not caring who sees them. I know this couple won’t be for everyone, but I loved them and found this such a satisfying conclusion. Also Brando’s curls were even more epic this season. Just saying.
- Chiara and Ludo’s friendship. The tattoo at the end. The swimming scene. The way they’ll always be there for each other no matter what. I love how they both realised in their own way that they wanted to stop working for Fiore.
- The family scenes were really nice. Whether it was Ludo and her mum or Chiara and her parents. I really liked seeing those bonds strengthen and the relationships heal.
- Fabio and Ludo’s brother/sister bond. One of my favourites.
- Chiara and Niccolò getting closer. They always had so much more chemistry than her and Damiano. I’d like to believe that one day they might be together properly, as it really does feel like Niccolò was trying to be a better person by the end.
- Brando and Niccolò making up.
- Everyone having a sense of hope at the end (well except for Fiore, but he deserved what happened...)
Things I was disappointed with:
- Even though I never really shipped them, I feel sad for any Damiano/Chiara fans. They were kind of screwed over. At least they got closure, but that introduction of that random girl and the implication that she and Damiano ended up together... ouch.
- Brando never apologising to Ludo for the sex tape.
- It would have been interesting for Fabio to have told Brando that he’d done the graffiti. I’m sure he would have forgiven him, but I just wish it had been brought up.
- Cami. Poor Cami. Always sidelined. She didn’t even feature in the trailers. I actually liked her friendship with Chiara in season 1. There was no resolution between them. No scene of real apology or forgiveness. It would have been nice to have a Cami/Damiano scene too, given their history.
- Monica. At least she told the truth about Niccolò. But she never seemed to face any real consequences for sleeping with a student.
- We never saw Niccolò’s reaction to finding out that Virginia lied about her pregnancy. What was the point?
As you can probably tell by the essay, I’ve clearly given this was too much thought. But I loved it! I really hope Netflix will continue to give a platform to international shows, because on the whole they’re brilliant. Control Z, Elite, Love 101, Kissing Game, and now Baby. It was a really solid ending to three brilliant seasons.
Baby is a popular Italian teen drama web series that premiered on Netflix. The show tells the story of a group of school students who start their own prostitution ring. Baby is actually based on a real-life controversy that occurred in Rome back in 2014. The show's first season started streaming in December of 2018 and was later renewed for a second season in 2019.
The third and final season of Baby was recently released on Netflix on September 16, 2020. The show stars Benedetta Porcaroli and Alice Pagani in the lead roles. Here is what happened in the ending of Baby's season 3.

The finale of Baby Season 3 begins with Ludo's (Alice Pagani) arrest. Chiara (Benedetta Porcaroli) is heartbroken by her friend's arrest and has no idea how to save her. Eventually, Chiara's mother convinces her to forget about Ludo and move on with her life. However, Chiara's ex-boyfriend tells her that Ludo was arrested only after Chiara's mother testified against her.

This enrages Chiara who decides to save Ludo by hook or by crook. Chiara then takes to social media and announces that she is actually the real Emma (which was the fake name she used when she was a prostitute). After Chiara's online confession, the cops arrest her and her boyfriend, Damiano Younes. Moreover, the police also arrest Chiara's pimp, Fiore.
While in court, Fiore claims that he was being exploited by the three teenagers. Just when the teens think that they are going to lose the court case, Natalia agrees to be a witness for them. This helps the teens win the case and Fiore is convicted in the prostitution case. The whole series is loosely based on the real-life Baby Squillo scandal in Rome.
