You've completely sold me on two things: 1.) This show and the fact that it's worth watching. 2.) Your authority as reviewer who can see the essence of human character and art and articulate its essential nature in a way that compounds its value. I hope you'll do more of this Camilo.

"When people talk about healing as a way to live with less suffering, what it actually looks like is daily conversations with your ego where you say: “I need you to come along or fuck off. How I am right now doesn’t serve me, and I am worthy of evolving. I need to respect myself.”"

Damn.

This dissection is fantastic. Seriously, you have the knack of writing about music and television. You recognize the contours of the characters and articulate it in a way that is so satisfyingly nuanced. (I just saw Rick's comment and realize he said something similar ha).

It's illuminating to see how you relate the show's themes to issues in the workplace. The show is authentic, never performative, and you've captured it so well.

I'll look to you for inspiration -- there's a scene between Carmy & Claire that I want to write about.
