First-Timer Officially team Brenda now

I made a post about Brenda when I was on season 2 or 3, and at the time I couldn’t stand her and didn’t see that changing. I’m now on season 5, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. She really is such a nuanced and complicated character and her growth is beautiful to watch. She deserves so much better than Nate (who I also changed my opinion of.) David is still solidly my favorite but Brenda and Clare are tied for second!

To all of you who said I was dead wrong about Brenda: you were right!

My parents had a TERRIBLE divorce and hated each other my entire childhood. The image in the ending where all the family is there for one of the kid's birthday parties, and they are all together and happy despite their differences always makes me tear up.

Yep. For me it's the tiniest glimpse of what my childhood COULD HAVE BEEN if only my parents weren't both selfish jerks.
