Naturally, people are reaping plenty of meaning from the series. Here are some of our favorite thoughts.

...That moment where Mildred Gunning regains her lucidity and realizes that Father Paul was Mosignor Pruitt is one of my favorite moments in the series.
He has her hand in his and says in the kind of voice when you see your best friend after spending a summer apart, "I have so much to tell you!"
The both of them giggle like little kids and share in the excitement of what's happening together. The acting and everything in this series really is amazing, but there's just something about this scene that really hit me deep.
