    Loving this SO much. Just discovered it and am binging to catch up. Just started re-watching the show with my 12yo daughter (her first time) and we are so moved. I had fallen off midway through season 3 during the original run bc it was getting “too sad” and life got in the way. Listening to the podcast is steeling me to watch all the way through to the end this time. Mandy, Chris and Starling are a DELIGHT. You can just FEEL their mutual affection for one another seeping through your AirPods. S... more
