I remember when Miguel's character was initially introduced in S1, I though omg he stole his best friends wife...and immediately I was skeptical of him, just as the writers intended. But as the seasons went in, he stole my heart and the way he was there for Rebecca through every moment was inspiring. He lived with the guilt of being with Jacks girl and that must've been terribly lonely. I loved his relationship with Beth & Toby...they were the outsiders and found time for each other.

I remember 1 particular scene, in the hospital when Kate was giving birth and he was talking about foods that are improved by ranch or chocolate , and Maddison came to visit and was treated so unwelcomingly...he went to her and made her feel so accepted coz just like him she also felt like an outsider. I loved that.

Anyways this final season, I saw an episode named Miguel and I was so apprehensive to watch it. I kept delaying it coz I wanted to be in the right emotional space. I'm so happy they told Miguel's story, and I'm so happy they waited for the final season to tell it, coz the effect is magnificent.

I cried so so so much this episode, but something that hasn't happened before, is that I kept crying for a solid 10 minutes after the episode finished. It really hit me. What a soul, what a person, what a friend, what a husband, what a dream. And he finally felt at home. Love ya Migs.

I watched the first season in May 2022...and I loved it. It's now august 2024 and the 2nd season is premiering. They took wayyyy too long for a new season. But I just couldn't remember much of the 1st seasons intricacies and a recap wasn't enough, so I felt like a spontaneous rewatch...and how fulfilling this rewatch has been. I'm so glad I did it. I relived these phenomenally told stories again and appreciated it even more. I craved for the next episodes and finished the rewatch in 5 days which for me is rapid. It's one of my favourite rewatches ever and I didn't even plan for it. Cinematography was amazing and the cast performances were phenomenal. All versions of Sunja stole my heart ...can't wait to watch S2 now. I'm giddy for it.
