One of the things I love about Link Click is how it hurts you in completely unexpected ways.
Like, you'll hear about how it'll mess you up before you go in, so you're expecting some trauma, and you watch the first episode, and maybe it hurts, and even if it doesn't, as the next few episodes play out, you can see how others might describe it as painful.
And then the plot kicks in. You think it's gonna kick in at one place, but no. You know when it kicks in. You do not miss it, because now things are different and they weigh differently on the characters and the viewers. And just when you think you have a grasp on that, they pull the rug out from under you such that season 1 ends with you screaming at the screen.
And then season 2 gets going and you realize the story is playing on a whole different level than you originally thought. And then you gradually realize that it's always been playing on this level and you're only just now in a place to recognize it. And by the end of season 2, you're questioning everything you thought you knew about what's going on.
And then you watch the Bridon arc. And now you have to question so many more things.
And in between all of that, it's still telling you stories that are designed to dig into you and find all your pains and griefs and bring them up to the surface. And when they're there and laid out all raw and broken, it gently embraces you and acknowledges your suffering and struggle. It doesn't offer platitudes. It just holds you as you ugly cry as it reminds you that you're not wrong or crazy for thinking these things hurt so much, and you are not alone.
