Score: 7.5/10 (Solid, but transitional)
A solid 7.5. It’s comfort food with a bitter aftertaste, perfectly setting the stage for the emotional storm to come. Stick with it—this is where the real story begins.
The quiet, realistic couple moments and the ominous atmosphere of change. Skip it only if: You’re binging the series and just need the setup—but don’t. The small character beats pay off later.
