Don’t Wait Out Your Happiness in the Search for a Quiet Life
I don’t think this show will resonate with anyone looking for a fast burn or fluff (both are valid but almost entirely absent here). That’s not to say that this is an angst-fest either, however, just that it’s a very mature drama which focuses its lens on the unraveling of a lifetime of compulsory heterosexuality slowly enough not to snarl. If you’re looking for a mature story with a happy ending, give it a try! If not, then look elsewhere. Come back in five or ten years and see if this is more your cup of tea then. I know that this would have bored me to tears as a child and horrified me as a teenager, but my adult self cannot help but be comforted seeing other people working through something I can relate to, in my own small way. Maybe you will too.
