I already loved Rafael and Daveed from the movie and their other work. I was so excited to watch this and was blown away, but not surprised, that this one knocks it out of the park with innovative and valuable storytelling. The characters are great and fully fleshed out. The story is funny, sad, brilliantly written, and told in a very innovative way that uses dance, spoken word, music, and visual artistry to complement the amazing acting.
The way Rafael's character uses narration for the "previously on" recaps is a fantastic idea and always amusing. It is one of the several very smart ways that lets him be present in the world of the story without actually being present. The conversational banter is brilliantly written. Even when the subject matter is dire, it's funny, full of love, and a lifetime of shared experience.
Can't recommend it highly enough. The only downside is that by it's very nature the season must come to an end and will leave you wanting to watch more.
