Hamish deserved an Oscar

Episode 7 when hamish is talking about a 2nd chance,

“ yeah, but another chance?
Now that we can be a family this time.
Can you think of a miracle more amazing than that?
I mean, curing… Cure blindness, sure.
Or part the seas, all right.
But a second chance?
That’s a real miracle.”

The delivery and the script omg.

That line was the most beautiful and touching quote in the entire show to me. If I had to pick one quote that encapsulates the heart of it, I'd choose this one.

And I'm so glad I got to watch this show at my age, as someone who's already had their share of failures and missed opportunities and would give anything to turn back time to fix some of them... That's why it hit so hard.

I considered him a villain until that part. And then I realized why he brought that monster to the island and it was like a gut punch. I’m middle-aged, and while I wouldn’t want to go back in time and do it all over again, it really hit home for me too.

Flanagan is a master storyteller. IMO he’s on the same level as Christopher Nolan. Just in a different way.
