I have adhd too. And hearing her diagnosis makes her even more admirable. She’s truly learned to manage and persevere despite her struggles. Truly inspiring.

[@MrFz1rider]

She just keeps getting better looking .

[@1991Meka]

She even have alot of dialogue in this series. She had way more dialogue in "From Scratch" which is one of the best series ever on Netflix

[@JasmineWhite-jh3xd]

Word! It's award winning acting. I'm watching episode 7 for the 3rd time

[@poeticlovee]

I’ve never seen that on Netflix. Going to search now. Thanks.

[@poeticlovee]

Update: found it!! Thanks for the recommendation. Going to watch this next since I am already grieving the end of season one of the lioness.

[@dafnneperez9577]

I never comment on the beauty of a woman, because character means far more to me than looks,but here's the exception.

[@ronthomas7427]

She is absolutely and smart ❤ I'm looking forward to seeing her in season 2

[@TheBioExplorer]

Just finished the finale episode. You were awesome. I loved it... and hated it in equal measures... Which means it's a great show. It hits all the realistic issues. There's no black and white... life is shades of gray and not in 50 shades kind of way. I hope there is a season 2.

[@Caroline-Horvath-Rivera]

Love her!!! ❤
