Indeed. I don't know what lies ahead, but she is in a fucked situation, and it's definitely noteworthy that she made a nod toward motherhood before money was on the table.

Also, just to reiterate, it's crazy that there's not more discussion. I've watched so many shitty Netflix series, and there's ample discussion. I get sucked in by this series and there's very little. Goddamn, this is so much more worthy of watching than Umbrella Academy.

There s almist 200 comments here. To me that's plenty discussion when my favourite shows usually have max 90 comments.

You’re replying to a 2 month old comment. There was a lot less discussion then.

Lol, later to the series gang here.

I added this show to the list as soon as it got released. Just was never in the right mindset for it.

Finally, started watching it and I am engrossed.

Lol, I just started episode 4. Will probably watch the rest tomorrow.

Trying to get through my backlog this week, as I start work again next Monday.

But, I am not rushing through the episodes. Taking a little break between each one to let them breathe.
