  My wife and I just watched the first episode last night as well and had the same reaction you did… Hell of an episode to start the season…

    So freaking real, right? Gaa. Awful because it’s too possible. Butttttt… As far fetched as some episodes can be, this is what the creators are aiming for. 😅

      Very real and unfortunately the roadblocks the couple faced were very realistic to foresee. My wife was crying at the end and I was speechless… We’ve all seen companies do the same actions, just in different contexts.

      It’s interesting because in an interview with the creator he mentions that one of the loose goals with this season was to highlight the positives with technology.

      Looking at the first episode, the technology to save the wifes brain is amazing technology! She would be dead without it. The cost is so minimal it’s an easy choice.

      If course we know how the episode goes, but it is funny that at face value the technology is great, it’s what happens next that is the downfall.

        The thought of subscriber based healthcare genuinely freaks me out.
