I adored Tova and Marcellus. It’s a slow build as the story of the lives of these folks in the small coastal town of Sowell Bay, Washington u folds with Marcellus kind of in the background observing and helping where he can. There’s so much love and kindness all around and it comes together at the end. It’s all worth it.

This is the kind of story that gives me hope for humanity.

Side note: Marin Ireland and Michael Urie are incredible narrators.
