Northern Exposure is on Amazon.
I loved it back in the early 1990s pre-Columbine, pre-911 day. I loved the magical realism. So I decided to watch it.
Wow. We've changed. It's precious (we are cynical); it's hopeful (we are contemplating the apocalypse); it's a little bit sexually wicked, like 80s Prince or Madonna (we are ... pissed off).
+++
It's what we desire.
What Northern Exposure lays out is our longing for community ... and love ... where everyone belongs no matter their idiosyncrasies. And where the mundane coexists with the unexplainable ... and where all can be forgiven.
And nature's seasons are true and reliable.
It's better than I remember.
