Okay, so I just binged Hulu’s Four Weddings and a Funeral and it was really good!!! My least favorite part was easily the infidelity (really hate that pretty much always) but that was a really small part. What I really loved about it though was that it wasn’t about the main romance. Like, the actual dating part is just sort of a montage in maybe two episodes. But it is about friendships and friends and loss and platonic! love and I really liked that. I was really happy that it wasn’t about the supporting characters all dropping their lives to help Maya but rather that it was a better depiction of healthy friendships (mostly). Everyone had their own lives but all made time for each other and their problems. I liked that they all watched love chalet to support Craig, and that Maya gave Duffy a chance and that Duffy gave Maya an out. And that they all supported Ainsley through her mess. I liked that Ainsley worked through her stuff from being left at the altar and in the end the happy ending wasn’t just about Kash and Maya (super cute tho), but about this great circle of friends not just staying together but growing stronger and making space for new people. It was a really cute story that had some fun twists and I really loved it.

Mindy Kaling really fucked me up when she wrote a funeral scene and had the wife of the deceased say, “I don’t know what I’m going to miss about him yet.” LIKE FUCK ME that shit hurts and it’s so simple yet so fucking true and I’ve been thinking about it non-stop for 36 hours.
