Carol and the End of the World on Netflix is Good.

I'm gonna make more of a post later probably (or probably not) but
As a boring person I felt seen (in a good way)
Carol is poised to be Netflix's second asexual icon after Todd
It had a tearjerker episode
It ends well
another episode gave me strong Joe Pera talks with you vibes (this is good)
only one season thanks to the world ending

Yes! YESSS! I watched it a couple weeks ago and have been trying to get everyone I know to watch it since (no luck yet but I'm TRYING). It's so good and it's not like anything else I've seen and it gives me a lot of hope for adult western animation.
I kept expecting the rug to get pulled out from under me for some cheap gag every time the show got really slow and quiet and earnest and it just kept... not happening. Show gave me a lot of indescribable feelings, I think March Comes In Like A Lion might be the only other thing that comes to mind in the same brain-feelings-zone. Good good good show, I'm so glad it exists and that I watched it and that other people can watch it too
"Coming of age story where the protagonist is in her 40s" is like. Man!
