Just saw the latest episode tonight.

Spoiler

I haven’t cried like that from a television show in a while. And it made me kind of mad, because a lot of the emotions she was feeling, I’ve felt too about my own daughter. Granted, the end result she experienced hasn’t happened, but like all parents, I’ve feared that something like it could every day since she was born. It was completely unexpected to get hit by that tonight, so it sort of made me mad in addition to making me cry like a baby. Just had to get that out.

I love this show.

    m going to gently push back a little on Okarun being a Nice Guy-

    Yeah, that’s totally fair, I was just reusing a phrase others were using but he’s a reasonably innocent character that’s probably easy for a lot of folks to project on.

    Edit: But also also the general levity of the show seems to be at odds with some of the topics it handles (like SA) and I’m not sure it’s a good idea to proselytize to anyone who watched ep 1 and decided it’s not for them because people are definitely going to have strong reactions that are entirely justified, I just feel like doing so can come off as insensitive

    Oh yeah, if it’s not for you, it’s not for you, @Yor@hexbear.net or anyone else. I’m just finding what it’s doing to be fascinating. Using storytelling like this is my jam.
