In which Shane and Ilya's daughter obtains a new pet.

Ilya is just a little afraid of it.

Later that night, after his parents had gone home, Shane was brushing his teeth when he noticed Ilya staring at himself in the mirror, gingerly raking a comb through his curls.

Ilya caught his stare. “It keeps falling out. I… I think it is time to shave it. I am tired of having to unclog the shower every day.”

Shane’s eyes stung, but he nodded. “Do you… want help with that?”

it's well made, well shot, well directed, the music is interesting, the costumes are both thoughtful and subtly period accurate, the sex scenes are intentional and, again, accurate to what hooking up when you're like 18 actually feels like...the actors are of course attractive but they look like real people. the characters are varied and well fleshed out, the acting is really, really strong

so many shows and films shoot and then slot in whatever music kind of fits or could be licenced in the budget after time, but you can tell that the scenes in hr were shot with that specific music in mind. and the same intentional approach runs through the whole thing
