i thought it was very well made and written. it works as a standalone episode but also thematically builds upon the overall story and Joel’s character arc.

i do think its a little overhyped though. id guess it gets lots of extra appreciation due to it unashamedly being a gay love and romance story and playing it completely straight as opposed to making a big deal out of it. which i think is dope, more people should see these things and realize that its normal and not a big deal.
