So I enjoyed and was invested in the kind of the underlying, you know, I think we can say monster story given the opening scene.

Yep.

So yeah, I really liked this.

I was quite pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, there is a particular development that happens fairly late in the show that has to do with Sam, his relationship with his daughter.

And her trying to care for him and how she's responding to kind of changes in him that we know are motivated by things that are actually happening, but she doesn't.

I found all of that very moving.

And I think also, you know, you mentioned Geena Davis having sex.

And one of the things that I did really like about this, you know, you have elements of the emotional stuff and sort of plot devices that are about the fact that they're older, as Kate referred to.

Right.

But you also have a lot in here that could happen anyway.

Mm-hmm.

And a significantly younger man who the story never remotely wonders whether he's really hot for her or not.

And in fact, she never really wonders whether he's hot for her or not.

For the two of them, this is a relationship that they're going to get into.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, you know, they're using people here who are mostly 70 and above.

I think Dennis O'Hare is in his 60s, but the rest of them.

So they are using people who are old enough that you might encounter them in a retirement community as opposed to people who are significantly younger than that.
