(2,244 posts)Little Fires Everywhere was amazing. Among the four episodes she directed was the first episode, which hooked me, and the last episode, which shook me.

(323 posts)Marc Maron spoke glowingly of her and the new relationship. They had a nice exchange before an episode they taped, and seemed to want to be active in all aspects of their life. It was cute. The, when I saw this, I was devastated for the both of them. How sad it was for her to go like this, and how sad it was for Marc to lose her as they were getting started in a new relationship. I wish peace to her soul, and to his life.
