These two characters resonated with me deeply this year. Possibly strange choices? But also, whew! What journeys they've been on, of learning to make the most of flawed life-paths to date.
Who's moved you the most this year so far, from either recent or re-watched (older) #TV land?
Sam is on the left, from Somebody Somewhere (HBO) - a woman in her 40s who moved back to small-town Kansas to care for her dying queer sister, then started the series in the wake of her sister's death struggling to find her place in a world that can very easily suffocate joy. It's a poignant dramedy rich in the love it shows its small, tender, community-building moments.
The Bear is also wonderful, though - and Cousin's episode was pitch-perfect!
