Thank you

The portrayal of post natal depression in most media more often (when you say, orphan) than not makes me feel weak or small or embarrassed or compartmentalised or judged. This just made me feel relieved. And a little bit less alone.

Gillian Anderson has been phenomenal this whole time, but seeing her nuanced, vulnerable, strong portrayal of early motherhood (and isolation in general) is both heartbreaking and comforting.

The other storylines are a bit hit and miss. But no more than the other seasons. And I assume that's because they cover such a broad range of topics and emotions. The 'misses' from me are likely 'hits' for others.
