🎬 Firefly Lane Review. So good.
Firefly Lane took me down the Memory Lane. Painful but much welcome. "Love is only equal to the pain".

A copy of it below:
I think each TV show hits different at different times and when it's personally relatable.
For me, this was the case with Firefly Lane, watching it during the holiday season of December 2023.
It's been two years and four months since my dad passed away, from an extremely aggressive form of lung cancer (ES-SCLC). I'm a big introvert and have a really hard time talking about it and opening up about my feelings and my entire experience on the matter. Always have.
But I can't hold back my tears even now, while writing this, which is exactly how I had to watch the last episodes of Firefly Lane, as they felt like they were cutting me open and reading my memories. Crystal clear.
It was so well put on screen and so perfectly acted... how you receive the news, how impossible it is to accept it, how you sacrifice everything, how you try everything, how you live through the devastating and still impossible-to-accept end-game. It's spot on. A devastating, perfect copy of reality.
Firefly Lane took me down the Memory Lane. Painful but much welcome. "Love is only equal to the pain".
