I have not had a tv show or movie make me cry in years-whether it be tears of joy or sadness. This show has the perfect formula of both. I was skeptical when I started the first episode, assuming based off cast, plot, and visuals that it would unfold like a B rated Lifetime show/movie, but I'm glad to say I was wrong. This show is raw, beautiful, and simple... real. That's what life is, in the summary of it all. I truly do not want to spoil anything, so I will keep this close to the chest, yet informative enough to persuade an interested audience to give it a chance. This is a beautifully, well written, and emotional roller coaster of real life without all the heavy stuff most shows give us today to top eachother, or the lack of emotional depth. The music is by far my favorite that I've heard in many years on any show/movie. Media. I constantly found myself falling into the perfect song for the moment it played in/during. I hope it receives the recognition it deserves. Most of the time in a show, there needs to be a certain level of relatability for us to be intrigued or stick with it, but get lost throughout parts based off the overflow of everything it tries to feed us. This show somehow finds the perfect balance of relatability, heaviness, and reality without all the fluff in between or feeling empty. I am very picky when it comes to what I watch l, and doubted this watching the commercial and first little bit of episode 1, but luckily I stuck with it because of the positive reviews on here. I just hope someone sees this, has the desire to watch it, and experiences a positive viewing like I did.
