Yeah, this is something I'll touch on later tonight in a series overview. This is a story that hinges on people not feeling accepted, or not believing they can be accepted, and that's going to lead to folks parcelling out information another show would instantly communicate, or it's going to lead to a baseline of I Don't Know If I Should Trust You. And, like, if that sort-of character interaction isn't your thing? Sure. There are shows where the camaraderie is more free-flowing, or the animosity is more sparing. That ain't this show, though! This is a show about people learning to see themselves in others over 50 episodes, and that's a process.

But, yeah, it's not really a "misunderstandings" show that's about contrivance, I thought.

Looking forward to it!... ?
