LAdies Episode 7: I Want You
This is one of the shortest episodes in the series, but it's one of my very favorites.
It reminds me of the idea that Sarah (the show's creator/star) and I have talked about before: how maybe the greatest romances of our lives are really our friendships. This episode is a perfect microcosm of that. I've been frustrated by the way so many stories underplay friendships in preference to romantic relationships - I don't think it's honest, or, honestly, more compelling - and I think that's a big part of why "LAdies" speaks to me. Because it doesn't do that, and is in fact a strong, beautiful, truthful story of best-friendship.
