This is genuinely one of those metas where the first urge I have is to quote the text I like most and point up and say THIS THING RIGHT HERE, but then the more I think about it, the more I just want to go ahead and quote the entire thing.
You do such a good job articulating the tragic reversals that make season three what it is but ultimately end up pushing Wilhelm’s growth—and everyone else’s growth—forward. And highlighting the way that forgiveness of others equates to forgiveness of self. I feel like too many shows lately (many with the best of intentions) have constructed forgiveness as too much of a “pushover” thing, but Lisa really reclaims it and makes it more about grace. (Which is not my word, it’s your word from our phone conversation the other day, and I’m using it here because it’s such a good word.)
We are so lucky to have this show. And I am so lucky to have a friend like you who writes such beautiful things about it.
