This is a masterclass in narration. Shows like Rings of Power, The Witcher, Game of Thrones, or the newer Star Wars could learn from this one.

A story needs to have a point. So all threads are inter-twined and moving in the direction of that final moment when the point is made. What makes for a good story is the same, whatever the medium.

Amphibia immerses you, it creates a credible universe and each detail makes us feel more comfortable with the characters. We get to know them all, to care for them all, because there is investment, consistency, and a growth arch.

Bad writing is when the characters zig-zag aimlessly, when we don't see actual change, when the side stories don't add anything to the main story.

Amphibia is perfect. Even Bessie and Microangelo get their moment for a reason. We're so lucky to have such great shows like Amphibia and Owl House around. This show is about growing up, about learning to overcome the defects that come with our gifts, and to learn to forgive others and ourselves.

It's a story that touches us all, because all of us have been through it. The end of childhood, and the letting go, even the abandonment, one feels during those years.

Watch it. Let the world created surround you. And love the characters. I just won't spoil the plot. I could never deny anyone the experience of living through Amphibia for that first time.

May the narration you build with your own life be as beautiful.
