The tenderness of this series is heartbreaking. It shows so much compassion with its difficult, self-sabotaging characters and has such a patient and motherly way of holding them in tension with each other just long enough to give them—finally—the chance to find each other.

It shows how much we all need the loyalty of others to hold us long enough until we find the strength to be brave again. To risk getting hurt again and to hold on to the new hope of deserving love. Trauma freezes us inside, and it’s impossible to warm yourself up again all alone.

This series shows how we can find healing if we let other people in, slowly, very slowly. I love this show for not being hasty and for showing us that we all have a lot to work through. Nobody is normal—some people are just better at hiding themselves—but that’s not what life is about.
