This story is different.
I was always interested in the story of marriage.
Thats how this all started.
By virtue of just that interest alone, it was automatically different.
I feel like there were tropes that we were mindful of, but nothing to do with the storytelling.
Thats because of the skill of these writers.

Everything is utilitarian in a way.
Its not another character, its the whole person in a much more subtle way.
The family is isolated in a period without it being a period piece.
Its a muscle slightly atrophied and you have to remind it of the routine.
The day to day was really familiar.
It just reminded me frankly of how much I love TV.
