TUA and RD went really well together, they complemented each other nicely and made it easier to feel like, "Well, what do I do with myself now?" after binge-watching them. So much of what I liked about the feel of one was in the other--complicated, messy, painful relationships where people legitimately are assholes stemming from how their parents abused them as kids, but they have to fix it themselves now! And finding that through doing good things for others, helping others without expectations back!
The cast really was spectacular, I cannot believe how good that kid playing Five was, especially!
The amazing thing about Natasha Lyonne is that she plays a somewhat similar character on Orange is the New Black, yet they're COMPLETELY different and she really did an amazing job making me forget all about her OITNB character!
How's Canto Bight going for you? It took me awhile to find what I liked about that book, but it had an uphill battle with almost no familiar characters! Not enough time with them to become invested (like I have with Join the Resistance and the Aftermath and the Adventures in Wild Space books) and Canto Bight was not my favorite part of TLJ. XD
