Jennifer Elise Cox

And I have many theories and many people have many theories.

And I saw Esther Perel, you know, Esther Perel, the wonderful therapist.

She was on Instagram, I think yesterday, talking about how it's a corrective experience watching it.

Because as you're watching it, like for instance, if you think about that press conference early on where Hudson's character doesn't know what to say.

I'm now switched to the real people because, you know, they're all infiltrating our brain at all times.

um he doesn't know what to say and then ilia the connor's character speaks up for him like then when he in the end you know confesses to his mom the truth and she says what did i do wrong that you couldn't tell me like it's like everything you would dream of people saying they say they do like it's like a healing experience to watch real life exactly exactly like it's kind of keeping it

But isn't that kind of amazing why I think it's why people have such an emotional connection to it.

But I also feel and I was thinking about that versus our show, because one of the things that the first show and definitely the second show did was show all the crazy kind of bad, embarrassing things that could happen to you.

Right.

And that you were going to be OK.

Do you mean that you were going to be OK?

You were going to go tell your girlfriends about it and all of you were going to laugh.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, it might feel so embarrassing at the time, right?

And like, there would be different ones of us over time of the actors who would be like, oh, they embarrassed my character the most.

No, they embarrassed my character the most.

They embarrassed your character the most in the movie.

So true, okay.

So true.

And I tell Michael Patrick this.
