In season one, Platonic was an enjoyable little sitcom that nonetheless faded from my memory pretty quickly. But something was different about season two from the beginning, and I still haven't totally figured out what it is. There's just something clicking this time around - the characters and their dynamics are more lived-in and distinct, and the storylines themselves feel more engaging and thoughtful without ever fundamentally altering the tone.
Six months ago, we had a major disruption when my 83-year-old father-in-law was diagnosed with dementia. Last week, he was admitted to hospice. We have no one to help with him, except for a sitter who is draining his wallet. My husband works during the day, and as soon as he gets off, he goes to his dad's. My husband and I have an 11-year-old daughter, and she and I literally miss him.
