About
If you want a gentle, character-driven story steeped in San Francisco mood and themes of home and belonging, this may fit; Not for you if you need a fast, tightly plotted drama like Mid90s or Looking, or if you dislike slow, poetic storytelling.
Pros: dreamy atmosphere; powerful longing; gorgeous music | Cons: slow pacing; plot feels slight; messaging uneven
