I was in the chat for the upright viewing/q&a and despite this being my third watch of the show, I still found myself feeling as raw as I did on my first.
The chemistry between you and Milly is instantaneous and before I know anything I find myself needing to know everything about these two intensely intriguing people. They both clearly have secrets and I have to know what they are.
Along with the acting the music and the cinematography are so engaging I feel as though I am right there in the scene, just as happy sad and scared as Lucky and Meg.
Lastly the dialogue is so sharp and quick it can bring you from laughter to tears and back again in a heartbeat. With the added bonus that, upon multiple viewings, you can pick apart so many layers in the characters words and phrases that are impossible to see the first go around.
What I’m trying to say is this is one of the most engaging and entertaining and heartbreaking shows I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. If anyone reads this and hasn’t seen it, stop what you’re doing and go watch it now. I promise you won’t be sorry. Just make sure you have about 4 and a half hours free because -much like Pringles- once you start you will not want to stop until you are done.

I don’t know if “wicked” is the word I’d choose. Poignant, haunting, cathartic, hilarious, heartbreaking, stunning, captivating, and sometimes really effing sexy. “Wicked” doesn’t come near doing this masterpiece justice. Though it does mention “Wicked” come to think of it 😆
Just watch it, everyone. America could really use a good ugly cry and a nice deep breath.
Bravo, Tim et al. You’re painting yourself into a corner here – how are you going to top this?
Thank you, for this, everything else you do, and simply existing on the planet and saying hi every so often. Someday I’m going to meet you and get one of these hugs I hear so much about, but until then **hug**
