Day Two
Hundred and Sixty-Two: Kindness is Magic
Derek:
Episode One. Netflix Original by Ricky
Gervais.
It’s always
nice to see something beautifully crafted in an identifiable and flawless
way. Derek
is set in a Nursing home, somewhere where we all have been, and Derek is the
kindness in everyone. Mindlessly
charming and believably considerate I just finished watching the first episode
and am having a hard time stopping just to write this. I’m also crying, because one thing about this
show that was surprising to me is that it doesn’t just warm your heart but it
opens it even just a little bit.
“I’m not
clever or good looking but I am kind.”
It exposes
the tiniest most important moments of life.
Have you ever said to someone that the little things count? They do. The tiniest detail, the small
surprises, despite how mundane or seemingly uneventful your days get it’s
always the smallest details that keep momentum up in our lives. I found that even in this first episode they
took moments of small significance and magnified them. I’m just so happy I started this. Just hopefully I don’t cry through all seven
episodes, but, no promises.
