Speaker 2: It sparked a lot of conversation, not going to deliver any spoilers, but these honest Speaker 2: conversations that are being had right now about the show. And one of them is Speaker 2: have you ever actually stopped to ask yourself how big your family really is? Not Speaker 2: the version you grew up with, not the version that you knew, not your sibling Speaker 2: that you grew up with, I mean the real one, the siblings that you might Speaker 2: find about later on in life, the branch of the family tree that no one Speaker 2: talks about at family gatherings. Speaker 3: That aren't that showed up at a funeral and said me, I also have a Speaker 3: childhood by.
