Adlon's writing, empathy, and the show itself is one of the most brilliant things I've seen on television. And as a mom of a teen--it was so validating to feel seen, both as an adult daughter and a mom trying to so the best but also giving herself grace and anger at the same time. It's so so good. Love that you wrote about this. 💜
As a 43-year-old single mom of tweens, I can relate to every word of this, Kate. I read Mrs Dalloway as a twenty-something undergrad, and though I revelled in the language back then, I feel like I couldn’t possibly appreciate the themes the way I might now. Adding it to my TBR :)
