what happens

Vi and Caitlyn wrestle with how best to respond in the wake of a terrible tragedy that claims lives — and escalates tensions between the twin cities.

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Read from 34 comments — 15 said when.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 15 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

  • “I loved the depiction of Caitlyn's (and I guess Vi's) grief/numbness as her surroundings are grayed out during Cassandra's funeral.”

  • “It was really powerful watching Caitlyn have to be poised, strong, stiff-upper-lip all through the opening scenes, including watching her mother's casket close and go away, and it's only when she sees Vi that she could actually cry and be vulnerable.”
