I watched this series on Netflix – Ripple. I binged it and recommend it to a friend. My friend recently said she was on episode five and loved it. At that moment, I tried remembering the plot and drew a complete blank. I’m not sure why. I just remembered the show made me feel.
So I started rewatching it from the start again. The plot came back to me. I also began noticing details that I had no idea had significance. I’m going to watch it again. I think I’ll enjoy it a little differently the second time around.
Despite their shared zip code, four strangers seem to have nothing otherwise in common. Yet what none of them realize is they have unknowingly crossed paths on more than one occasion. The challenges of life change them, and their respective decisions cause ripples no one can anticipate.
Here is an exchange that I liked:
Everything will be OK.
How do you know?
I don’t. But we all need someone to tell us so.
I may have had temporary amnesia on the plot, but I did remember I liked the music in the series. Here is Another Story by The Head and the Heart from the first episode. Maybe I’ll rediscover more good music along the way.
These are just flames
Burning in your fireplace
I hear your voice and it seems
As if it was all a dream
I wish it was all a dream
I see a world
A world turning in on itself
Are we just like
Hungry wolves howling in the night
I don't want no music tonight
Can we go on like it once was
Every time I hear another story
Oh the poor boy lost his head
Everybody feels a little crazy
But we go on living with it
Yeah they go on living with it
These are just flames
Burning in your fireplace
I hear your voice and it seems
As if it was all a dream
I wish it was all a dream
Can we go on like it once was
Can we go on like it once was
Every time I hear another story
Oh the poor boy lost his head
Everybody feels a little crazy
But we go on living with it
Yeah they go on living with it
I'll tell you one thing
We ain't gonna change much
The sun still rises
Even with the pain
I'll tell you one thing
We ain't gonna change love
The sun still rises
Even through the rain
Can we go on like it once was
Can we go on like it once was
Everybody feels a little crazy
Like it once was
Everybody feels a little crazy
Like it once was
Can we go on like it once was
Wow! I just started watching Ripple yesterday and I am hooked! Love how all the moments are connected. I am watching closely for important details, but I’m sure I will end up rewatching it later to discover everything I missed.

Will try and remember this for once I’ve finished Succession!
