EJ’s right; this is very cinematic. I saw the whole thing played out in black and white vintage footage as I read it! Loved it!

Finding a mink in the belly of a shark is such a weird conceit and you played it so well. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

It's a perfect blend of suburban hell and keeping up with the Joneses. Almost like gold fever but with mink. "compare coats" 😭😭😭 awful awful people. Loved it, Sean.

"Norma was determined not to acknowledge the coat at all." Couldn't help but smile at this. How perfectly human.

Excellent story. It's very true to the style of the show. The whole thing played out in black and white in my head.
