I think Ayo Edebiri's directorial debut hit it out of the park. It was an exquisitestory of a regular person, faced with the challenges of competing on a playing field heavily tilted against her. Liza Colón-Zayas' acting - paired with David Zayas as a terrific counterpart - was beautiful, evocative, a shining example of simplicity in authenticity. Jon Bernthal also toned down his star power so I could forget about him as the Punisher, haha. Every performance was equally nuanced, comedic, yet painfully poignant. Also, killer soundtrack and musical choices. Kudos to the cast and crew !!!
