It explores the ideas of love, companionship, and the rise and fall of tension between characters that we will all inevitably experience in our own lives. The title characters are powerful women with strong and clear personalities, which are reflected in their surroundings so expertly that I would confidently call the set designers, directors, and producers artists. No matter what your opinions are on the show, it is undeniable that the interior … Continued

Have you ever met a barely-recognisable friend after years apart, but felt at home the moment you hugged? There’s an emotional explanation, of course.
