That's what [REDACTED] was, for anyone who cared. I was existentially terrified of being spoiled.

That show was the hardest thing I ever watched, the most dizzyingly surreal and viciously real and beautiful thing. It's a show where everything comes together, where everything works, where episodes are 50-60 minutes long and not a moment is wasted. It's a brutally realistic depiction of drug addiction, it has a fantastic trans character, it has a cast of flawed, traumatized high schoolers who act and behave like traumatized high schoolers and yet the show has such empathy for them it's hard to hate even Nate. Just realize that you're going to have a front-row seat to each and every traumatic moment in their lives. The segment on Jules' childhood nearly broke me, to be honest. I was literally shaking and crying.

And, for the record, Rue rejecting Jules at the end, while kissing her....was beautiful. It's both Rue thanking Jules for possibly saving her life, and telling Jules she should do better. Rue can't have Jules in her life, because Rue has to forge her own destiny, her own life, her own identity. She isn't ready to love some one, because she hasn't yet learned to love herself. And maybe, just maybe, one day...their paths will cross again. But probably not.

Season 3 has been green-lit, but if Discovery murders it, well...I might just be okay with it. Watch it if you're in a good enough place to bear it, you won't regret it.
