I thought it was phenomenal from every angle and, to be honest, seeing lesbians not die and be in a relationship and on the way to healing was a big deal. It meant a lot. I thought the romance was artfully done too; at least to me it did not feel like it was goofy and just for men. It seemed natural and it was so nice to see an actual butch lesbian just… BE. Loved it.

Omg that scene…..🔥 I felt like they really put a lot of thought into Cait and Vi’s romance. I really enjoyed the slow burn and that neither of them died at the end.

Yes! I’ve seen so much rhetoric online about it but it really boils down to the audience wants everything explained to them and for anything with lesbians to conform to a specific set of moralities and conventions. I loved how flawed they both were and their responses to one another seemed authentic and believable. I have been sick to death of brain rot level media where people tell instead of show.

I can’t stand, tell don’t show. Just trust your audience to pay attention. So much in that show is nonverbals or little screenshots of something that foreshadows something else. You don’t need a bunch of dialogue when a simple glance can say so much more.
