brainrot has eaten my brain right through like a bullet

Since I finished the show in March, it has never left my head once. Not in the "I think about it in every waking moment of my life and even in my sleep" type of way but more of a shadow looming over me. It's there but it doesn't disrupt my daily life and only interacts with me when I entertain it. It's absolutely ridiculous how I can visualize it as is but, yeah, my imagination can take me very far when it wants to.

It's funny because I don't think I even identify with any of the characters. God forbid I identify with the main protagonist or antagonist. Not even with the nicer side characters like Price or Beverly. I completely and utterly don't and can't relate to any of them. But I still feel attached to every single one of them. This is probably a good example of great writing. You don't have to relate to a character to get attached to them. Hell, I'm attached to Hannibal and he's the most morally grey antagonist I've seen in any piece of fiction. I want him for our protag, Will, but at the same time, wish he met an unfortunate and permanent fate in the many bad situations he was put into in the show. It's just phenomenal how this show made me like both protag and antag but at the same time be aware that, ultimately and logically, they aren't good for each other no matter how much they fit together. Jesus.

.....yeah, it's definitely the good writing and of course, the chemistry between the actors that made me love the show so much. But I am genuinely surprised that this didn't turn out to be a fairly quick phase like all the other good shows I've watched around the same period. I'll probably even recommend it to my future children if I ever have them.
