And Somehow, We’re Still Here

After a season full of ship captains, pirates, rebels, grief, memory and women who refused to behave, we have somehow made it to the end. In this finale, I look back at the stories that shaped the season, what they left behind and the strange little threads that kept connecting them. It’s a reflection on family history, emotional rabbit holes and the weird fact that researching the dead has a way of making you think harder about how you’re living.
