This show...is divine. I hadn't watched a series for a few months when my ex wife (of all people) recommended this to me. If we did one thing together that brought us joy, it was watching and discovering new and fabulous tv series and/or movies. Typically, if she likes something, I'll like it as well. So I decided to give it a shot.
Man, was I glad I did. The very first episode had me stuck in quick sand just like that. I had ALL the feels. It was amazing! Most shows fail to meet that level with me. This one met and blew by it. Wow!
The relationship between Norman and Sandy is absolutely beautiful. It is poetry in motion. I've known my best friend since we were in the 1st grade. This is how we banter with one another. It's so natural, it's so real. You can't teach people how to love like this. I can see our relationship in these much older men and it touches me deeply. I don't want to say too much as to spoil it for anyone. Just know this, once you hit play on the first episode, you'll have a very hard time letting go of this masterpiece of a tv series. You will laugh, you will cry, you name the emotion and you'll feel it. Guaranteed. Thank you Netflix. Fine piece of work.
