A stellar finale to the first season! The creators nailed it with a diverse range of storylines, setting up a seamless transition into the second season. They even delved into the "progressive treatment" of homosexuality at the time, which makes today's complaints from the LGBTQ+ community seem somewhat baffling in comparison. Ruby's storyline added a darker layer, and I couldn't help but chuckle at the discovery of preferences in porn booths.
