I thought the production, the cast, the stories were excellent. Some of the stories were profoundly moving & left me stunned & teary eyed, which is very rare for me. I love Clarissa & Jack's relationship & I love the kindness & softness of Nikki. That the producers hired people with handicaps, other than Clarissa was another plus & they were excellent in their acting. I lean more to the beginning of season 9 to the end of season 24. Overall well worth binging & watching more than once.
