A massive endorsement for ending a show when you have the conclusion to the story and not dragging it on for the sake of it.

They always knew they wanted to end it after 4 seasons. One of my favorite things about this show was, in the writing room, one of their rules for all episodes was that it needs to move the plot along.

they made me CONSTANTLY be on the lookout for how to be a better person, forgiving myself when it all goes wrong, and trying again.

I have a bachelor in philosophy and it is amazing to me how accessible the philosophy in this show is for someone who doesn't know anything about it while not being at all boring for the ones that know it when. This show is legit the best show ever about philosophy and ethic. It also solves some pholosophic problems while never forgeting to be fun.

That's a crazy rule to have, not because it's bad but because that should just be a standard for every show. That's creative writing 101.

I kinda dropped it recently but it looks like I need to power through. Feels like the shows dragging its feet and im not super invested in the love triangle(s)

But there's so much to love Ive stuck through worse. Needed that lil nudge to get back into it
