I love this show. For me it is the emotional cousin to "Don't look up"'s more cerebral themes. How do people deal with grief? How do people grieve for themselves? There is an underrated purpose and beauty in mundanity that Carol and the End of the World lays bare.
I connected with this show on a very deep level, I laughed and I cried. And I sat with these seemingly ordinary people living an extraordinary time. In a world of spectacle and hedonism this show gives time to quiet introspection.
Perhaps this show would have connected with a wider audience in late 2021 with covid at the front of our minds. As it is I think it's a perfect metaphor for our times. I understand it isn't for everyone, it is quiet and it requires patience. But the pay off is incredible and moving.
