I really loved the relationship that developed between Patrick, Maisie and Grant. Patrick grew up in his attempt to keep the kids in their childhood. 

This is about loss and grief and learning to live without someone they love. And also learning how to grieve in their own way. 

Patrick didn’t accept himself or love himself before,
but once the kids went home and he was alone again, I think he recognized how much he had changed. He realized what he wanted and asked for it.


In the right hands, this could be a good limited series.
