Really truly baffled/annoyed at the lack of attention this show is getting.. everyone should be talking about this. Could be triggering to some, so read up and tread lightly if you think itd hit too hard. But I really was blown away at the bravery of Richard Gadd (who wrote this based on his own experience/life and played himself/a character of himself…!!) and was crying sooo bad at the last two episodes … so utterly devastating, confusing, a shock to the system, but to me that definitely falls into the category of good TV. Especially these days where I feel Netflix shows are .. what you’d expect Netflix shows to be. So fucking good 😭😭😭😭😭

I technically went into this show blind as I had not really looked too much into it, and now after watching it I HAVE to say that it was not at all what I expected. I started the first few episodes and then proceeded to tell some coworkers that it was "making me feel giddy", due to all the gooey romance. BUT GOSH!!! did it take a turn.. by the end of the show I was uncontrollably sobbing..
But I will say, definitely worth a watch!

PLEASE if u haven’t seen it… u need to. its my first time watching through, and i’m struck by how sincere this show is. i’ve been feeling rly sick of irony / ironic media, and LOST is a balm of sorts, making me feel hopeful when nothing else is rn. the writers aren’t afraid to lean all the way in, into archetypes, absurdity, sweetness, drama…. yeah, can’t recommend it more highly tbh

It can drain your energy and it is depressing at times. But don't let that stop you from watching good TV!
The writing is so good and the characters are flawed and well developed. Maybe just watch an episode of pepper pig after, that always helps.
I'm a firm believer in viewing art that makes you uncomfortable. By sitting in the uncomfieness, you allow yourself to open up to more ideas.
(i recommend checking out those trigger warnings tho - just in case)

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

I liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!
