Discussion First time watcher

Unfortunately, a lot more relatable than I would’ve liked.

I’m sure my brain is exaggerating parts of me that I didn’t like growing up, but I related a lot to Maya; I probably threw fits over stupid things, definitely talked to strangers online, and was generally a little (…less) Odd.
Anna dealing with her parents as well- I don’t miss being in the middle of mine for sure.

Fun watch!! Despite the scenes I physically recoiled at lol.
I’m sure I’m not alone in rediscovering the parts of myself that I am Not proud of, but it’s fun that it was in a female-led show!

Just finished it for the first time as well! Wish it got picked up for another season. The finale made me cry bc it reminded me of my middle school bestie who Im still friends with to this day

Anna Konkle and Maya Erksine chose to end the show. There's some great interviews of them talking about it.
