I just finished watching the whole series, and it was extremely enjoyable. What really sets this series out from others is the commitment it makes to keeping it realistic. I can imagine this scenario taking place among the millennial generation today (which I am a part of). The fact is, the majority of us are like the main cast. We are vapid and distracted by social media and making ourselves look good in front of others. We try to change that and find a deeper meaning in our lives, like Dory did. But, we can easily lose track. This isn't the worse thing to happen to our generation, in fact I see it as a phase. We are 20- something-year-olds that are wondering around in life, and eventually when we turn 30, we'll have more substance. Of course that substance and meaning in our lives will be built during our 20s. I believe most of us are like Dory right now: we seem better than every one else because we have a drive, but that could easily backfire. I do love that at the end, her actions do have profound consequences, but at the same time, the show doesn't jump the shark and sticks to it's main message. That everyone is stumbling around in life, and there is no real meaning in it unless you make one.
