How many sentences, since March, have started with the words “when all this is over”? Billions, probably, but fewer of late, as each of us reckons with the fact that this will never be over, not really. Psychologically, economically—we’re wrecked. A vaccine will certainly help, but it can only fix so much. Already I can…

The Table Read of The Good Place‘s Finale Will Break Your Heart All Over Again

Time to walk through the door. On the other side of the door? Lots of crying.
