I was watching this and thinking about why it doesn't feel hokey, despite the fact that other movies or TV have dealt with mental illness, suicide, overbearing parents, etc. and I realized that it's not relying on tropes, things aren't done for dramatic effect. It's all so ordinary, empathetic, and real. Even JK Simmons' character, who is a douche in this, is clearly struggling with his own stuff. 3 dimensional. Honest, even brutally so. There's no overbearing sentimentality or undercutting nihilism here. Just raw open empathy.
