S01E14 is the prettiest season finale I've ever seen

Marina is the contrast to Lisa, who chooses to stay in a comfortable marriage and rejects Shane. But Marina decides to risk leaving wealthy Francesca for Jenny, who has nothing. On the one hand, it is also because the relationship between Marina and Lisa is relatively simple, and there is no other bond except money. And Lisa has children, a "family," which is also in contrast to Bette & Tina.

Through Jenny's change, another possible way of life is also revealed. Indeed, as Marina said, she "opened up" Jenny's world. Jenny begins to accept herself as she is and interacts with people of different genders. Commitment is not for everyone.

The relationship between the drag actor and Kit is a symbol of most ordinary marriages. In order for the relationship to survive, everyone pretends to be someone who is not themselves. It's like singing to the mouth shape.

Bette and Tina are in a loving marriage. But can the love that has been transformed into family affection resist new love? The bathroom scene reveals the essence of family—and for relationships to survive. She needs a child, a family to make the bond of the relationship stronger. If there is a child and they form a family, chances are she won't cheat, as most families do. The last hate sex is too wonderful.

And Dana. She got engaged in a hurry without seeing the essence of the other party, which reflects the risk of marriage.

    It would be nice if there were less sex scenes, it feels like a bit of a gimmick. Season 1 and the last few episodes started to get richer, much better than the beginning and middle of the first season.

    "Have you noticed that every time Shane comes in, there are girls crying and running out?" Alice is cute, marina is the queen, Jenny's shy look is quite heartwarming, and TB is the role model.
