WWW–you are so, so incredible. Strong, nuanced women fighting for themselves and others, smart dialogue about the issues in pioneering technology, surprises in plot despite knowing the episode 8 rule
(spoiler) the OST almost always kisses/gets together around mid-point of the show, usually episode 8 (there’s also usually the blow-up-in-your-face that happens end of episode 14)
Episode 8 is when they’re done establishing their plot and have used up all their original content. Episode 10/11 is OTP kiss, episode 14 is when they run out of story.
Basically, everything after episode 8 (the back half) is when shows start to lose it.
