I struggled to finish this one. The writing needed another pass โ€” it's close but not there. it brought back the feeling of the pacing stumbles in places, despite the fact that it mostly works.

Moreover, the drama feels authentic and earned. Look, decent performances, though nothing groundbreaking. โ€ฆ
