This show is a masterpiece!
This series is one of the most wonderful pieces of television I’ve seen in a long time. It manages to portray the full spectrum of human experience with warmth and sensitivity.
The lead actors deliver performances that are nothing short of extraordinary, as their characters come across as so authentic that my heart breaks for them when they are struggling, or I cheer for them when they are together.
Every supporting actor in the phenomenal ensemble cast, also bring depth and authenticity to their roles. So much so, that so far at least, I don't even dislike the antagonists. As the title states, we are all trying here, and you are left feeling that they are only human and are probably struggling too.
The direction is deeply attuned to the emotional undercurrents of each scene, the screenwriters ability to weave complex, human stories with clarity and nuance is nothing short of wonderful and the directors vision to take that screenplay and create this programme is inspiring. Genuinely. I love it so much I’ve rewatched every episode multiple times while waiting for the next.
Even the casting director deserves special praise; the casting is so precise and thoughtful that every character feels indispensable, and intertwined and you are rooting for everyone one of them. I hope they always remain friends and have some version of the 8 club in real life.
This show deserves every award coming its way. Well done to every single person involved.
