The series shines when it captures the raw emotions of its subjects, but occasionally, it feels like it's wandering without a clear direction. Yes, there are some poignant moments that resonate deeply, but they can be overshadowed by less engaging segments. I appreciated the effort to showcase a variety of perspectives, yet some stories felt underdeveloped. It’s not a gripping watch, but it does spark conversation about the meaning of work in our lives. If you're looking for something to ponder while you fold laundry, this could work for you, but don't expect to be riveted throughout. Show less
