“I didn't realize the real power I had was that I had no obligations. I could do whatever the hell I wanted. How was I supposed to know that, one day in seeking the safety of a grown-up life, I would lose that power? I am 41 now. I can't believe how briefly I held that power. I can't believe how briefly I held it and how quickly I gave it away.”
Generally good acting wasted on very few likable characters and thinly written scripts. Romantic buttons are easy to push; shedding a few tears during the viewing doesn't cancel out the empty feeling it leaves behind. Ultimately not an entertaining series--reading the essays retrospectively was a much more enjoyable and authentic experience.
