'Hello, Friend' - First-time poster here 😁

I just finished watching this show for the first time and had to talk to someone about it. It left that big of an impact on me.

I don't think I've had so many different emotions during a show, period. I was truly balling at some of the latter episodes. The acting from Rami Malek was jaw-dropping, and it really pulled me into the show, and the writing was on point and consistent. I feel absolutely shattered that it's over, like I've lost a loved family member; that's how you know it's really good, I suppose. I got the same feeling when I finished Halt and Catch Fire.

The entire series is really a love letter to the parts of ourselves we create just to survive a world that hurt us. It gave Elliot the one thing so many of us spend our whole lives looking for: peace.

Easily one of the greatest television achievements in history, in my eyes.

Thank you, Sam Esmail, for creating and sharing such a masterpiece.

Goodbye, friend.
