The whole point of these threads I'm doing is to go back and re-visit a lot of what I missed (just did threads on pokemon / avatar). And hopefully, prove that there's no such thing as being "too late" or "too old" to experience something that's outstanding. There's just the will.

Episode 4: Ppl told me that this was a show about depression and that made me... cautious. I know everyone has different experiences, but i feel like once you've experienced depression you get this real B.S. detector for the shows that "get it" versus the shows that "use it"

And oh brother does this show get it. It's not just the dour outward expressions, and crushing internal sense of nothingness, it's understanding the anhedonia and specific triggers that both break through and fail to break through, often worsening the cycle.

What the show also hopefully highlights is how much society's understanding of depression back in the 90's was... severely lacking. And how people's extreme, non-empathetic reactions highlight a society that just had no real words or understanding for it. Just brutal.

But like most great work about depression and suicide, it understands the greatest of victories is often the simple, stalwart, herculean ability to simply put one foot in front of the other... And how those victories can't help but bring continued cost.

Episode 5: knew 5 minutes in that I was going to like the way this show continues to play with time. It's not trying to obfuscate things for mere delay (at 22 minute it can't afford to,) but tell a dramatic story that way. Also, good god do they actually GET cliffhangers!

Episode 6: I almost don't know what to do with the moments of hope... but neither do they.
