The Girl from Plainville Episode 6 Review
This episode focuses immensely and intensely on the complexities of mental wellness and how people require differing things.
Conrad and Michelle may seem like twins, but they are not. Conrad struggles to converse with people when they want to talk to him; he anticipates others opening their mouths. However, Michelle knows how to talk to individuals, and she has an in-depth vocabulary across multiple subjects.
Watch Or Not
As someone fascinated with mental health (maybe due to my poor upbringing), I found this episode spot on.
We are all different, and we perceive and feel the world very differently from others. This is worth watching and a giant leap in quality from the last episode.
