I wanted to give her credit.

Say hello to the podcast world one more time before you leave.

So she recommended to me, then I watched, then I recommended to you guys, and now we're on recommends, like, finishing up the season.

And I think there's a reason why they're able to do that.

We were watching the season finale.

A remark to Kalika, I said, there's something weird that's happening right now.

She was like, what is that?

I said, this feels like it's really happening.

I was so emotionally in the middle of the narrative that with everything happening to everyone, every character on screen, I felt like a little something.

It felt like there was stakes and weight to the outcome of

Of what was going on.

And that's because what the show does is it gets you in deep with a character, deep with that character.

And then it places the fate of that character.

It does this individually over and over and over again.

It places the fate of that character as a circumstance of the larger narrative that

and uh uh like driving plot of the show so like with the shaylene woodley character they spend an entire episode setting her up but really they do that just for her to be the driving force to meeting dylan and

then Dylan's place in the world deepens.

And then there's AI.

But by the time you get there, every time you see him, you see her and you see the baby and you see all of this stuff.

So you can't help but be connected to everyone.
