The Netflix dramedy Survival of the Thickest wrapped its story — and stuck the landing. At its heart, this finale was about friendship: how you show up for your best friend, even when it hurts. Along the way, Mavis faces a devastating loss, and Khalil grows through his relationship with his dad and his love life.
