Thoughts

I love love love OTH. For a long time, I didn't want to give it a chance. But you know that moment when you are not watching a show and you do not feel like watching your regulars, and you find the BEST thing ever to get sucked into. And you are like, "HOW did I not watch this earlier!" That was OTH for me. So so so good.
