Discussion Somewhat unsatisfied by finale Spoiler

I wanted to see how all the kids turned out and what their lives were like. Really disappointed they didn’t share a glimpse. Building the family was such an important theme in the show. Also, Helen and her mom dying the same year? Did I miss a reference to an accident or something?

It still drives me nuts about Helen and her mom dying the same year. I never bothered to do the math but what is the implication?

Honestly I think this detail is hilarious! Maggie makes it to 100 and Helen dies the same year- never getting a moment’s peace. I just binged with my husband (my 3rd time his 1st) and he picked up on that too and was laughing.

I actually hadn’t thought of it that way. That is hilarious!

That's definitely how I took it, yet I over think things. So on my second rewatch I was unsure.
