I was invested in both their relationship and the details of the wool trading business and the politics behind it, which I never thought I’d be! 

I’m grateful that the dreaded third act breakup was due to more than just a small miscommunication - it was a legitimate issue that required legitimate work to fix, and the correct amount of work was put in. The conclusion was satisfying and didn’t feel contrived.
 

Came for the homoerotic sword fights, stayed for our boys learning to take responsibility and ask for what they want.
