We Are All Trying Here echoes this exact sentiment in the film industry, focusing on characters who look functional but are secretly crumbling under the weight of comparison, envy, and a 20-year failure to launch.Healing Over Melodrama: Neither show relies on explosive, soapy twists. Instead, they focus on quiet, introspective journeys toward self-worth and self-acceptance."Everyone is struggling": The central message of both dramas is that no matter how perfect someone's life looks from the outside, everyone is fighting their own quiet war against feeling inadequate.
