What I liked
Learning about a world I have zero interest in. Viv made me genuinely curious about it, which is entirely a testament to her storytelling and writing.

What I didn't like
Not an improvement, necessarily but an enthused suggestion— I would love for this show to be a film and/or a book. I feel like Viv has SO many more stories about living in the Crypto Castle and this show was the tip of the iceberg.
My overall impression
I really enjoyed Viv’s grounded energy and subtle yet funny storytelling. I felt like I was seeing Crypto Barbie, I kept imagining a STEM Barbie version of Viv — perhaps bc of all of the patriarchy and misogyny experienced within the household, in subtle and overt ways that made her feel like she would never fit in.
To me, she was the most fascinating person living in that home and was deeply valuable as a human being, they were all ‘just Ken,’ in a world that continues to enable and empower their value and worth based on nothing. (Spoiler alert) How dare they not insure her for kidnapping.
