Great article, so many “lessons” to take away, thank you.

Loved the Ted Lasso breakdown. Attention to detail in storytelling (visual or writing or non-verbal acting and all that) is such a fun topic to learn about.

Kind of like the color themes on Breaking Bad, or the themes of human civilization emergence on Deadwood, or the per-episode themes on Mad Men. Love trying to understand how the machine works, even if you can also just watch it and have a good experience without going deeper.

Can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I'm sure they exists.. Probably some good video essays about it on Youtube -- that's where I'd look first 🤔

I mostly remember thinking about it on my last rewatch over the past couple years. Like, oh, this episode is about X, and then you see that theme woven through the A and B plot lines.
