Thank you for this! I was a few years out of high school when the show was on, and all of my 20-ish friends loved it.
And rewatching a few years ago, I, too, was struck by how fully fleshed out the adults were, too. (Like in Judy Blume books.) when Angela’s mom gets her hair cut and her husband’s comment is that he can see her ears.
Or, “You’re so beautiful, it hurts to look at you.” Swoon!
(Have you read Francesca Lea Block’s books? I discovered Weetzie Bat about the same time that I was watching this.)

Yes! I read FLB! So good!
Love this. And I totally bought into Angela Chase becoming Carrie Mathison in real fake life. xo
