Captain, Oh My Captain!

I feel the first few episodes were trying to cram in the character development somewhat awkwardly. Trying to cover 30 years of background in 40 minute shows is difficult if not impossible. The last couple of shows, while still touching on the history seemed to unshackle itself and let the remarkably good characters be themselves. They’re doing good things in their profession( refreshing to see) and letting loose and humanizing their personal lives. Seeing a southern town with a “forward lean” regarding LGBTQ rights was invigorating and reflects the questions much of America has. All in all, the writing has picked up dramatically from the first few crammed episodes and it’s become a pleasure to tune in. Great actors and great characters and finally, great writing hopefully will give it a chance to survive.
