This isn’t really a mini-review but I just wanted to share how I loved watching this show these past few weeks.
My sappy side is on full display for this one. I’ll admit I kinda cry easily and I’ve been teary-eyed more than once, but I gotta say one of Season 3’s plotlines downright shattered me because it was so similar to what happened to my family last year, it was rough…
At the same time, it’s so funny to stop and do the math sometimes and realize seasons don’t actually represent years. Indeed within these first four seasons, it seems not even a single semester has passed, as one of the characters found out she was pregnant early in Season 1 and is still only five months pregnant at the end of Season 4… Yet characters got shot, stabbed, kidnapped, blackmailed, arrested, freed, engaged, not engaged, pregnant, lost their house, fought, reconciled, you name it. This must be the most intense year ever for these guys!
But what keeps me going back is simple. I just love the friendships and camaraderie in this show, the fact the whole town is like an extended family to each other (and their absolute addiction to gossip is also so funny), it’s so sweet, and with how the world has been going lately I think I needed that.
I’ll be waiting for Season 5 later this year.
