A woman with a lengthy list of regrets meets a “therapist” who can send her back in time to make different decisions. I love the writing. Can she stop her brother’s suicide? “You can’t fix other people’s mistakes.” The therapist advises her, “We are the sum of our decisions.” And as the series goes on, regret by regret, it quickly becomes clear that as awful as the decisions seemed at the moment, or over the decades, they came together to make Erica who she is… which is a much better person than she thinks she is.
The writers are clever as they wend their way through time travel paradoxes and clichés. It turns out, I’d say, that those decisions were not as bad as they seemed: a good lesson for all of us, even if we are consumed with curiosity rather than regret.
