Finished it, and first I want to thank you for withholding your thoughts until I did. I do understand how anyone could have mixed thoughts on this, but after thinking many of them through myself, I think the work was well done overall. Articulating how depression 'freezes' one, preventing them from seeking help, while others wonder why they didn't, has to be a seriously difficult task.
While I have many reactions to the series, one of the more simply-stated ones is a quote from one of the characters in the last episode - "It has to get better. The way we treat each other. The way we look out for each other". It's something I learned from personal experience, having known three who attempted suicide, two of which accomplished their goal.
It might be a while before I could watch this again, but when I do, I will enjoy it, for it's message if nothing else.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
