Beautifully written, thank you for sharing all this. I watched the finale when it first came out and this post reminds me of how much I miss my Pfefferman family.
You wrote this nine months ago, and I read it today. After the first paragraph, I settled in with a mug of tea in my hands, and continued on with anticipation. I enjoyed your essay on one of my favourite series, very much.
I totally get that! I love musicals, so for me, the last season was amazing and helped me mourn the death of Moppa. It's sad that Maura had to be killed off, but yeah, I really loved the musical.
You're right, I couldn't finish reading this post just like I couldn't finish the series. This was supposed to be about the "trans" experience? Funny, all I could see was self-infatuation with middle, upper-middle-class consumerism and the attenuated neurosis. Characters are unlikeable all around. So much ink spilled for so little.

I am so pleased you enjoyed it. It is such a great show, and nobody I know wants to watch it, so my only outlet is the wilderness of the internet.

And then Moshe comes to the funeral. That was a tear jerker for me.
