by keeping some focus on a character in the present. use of same structure we see throughout openings to create interesting novelties small storys, in a bigger way to finish , great idea ,
this show sometimes degrades into flat episodes when it gets excessive with continual petty arguments & loses connectability to characters sometimes. I'd say that happens up to half of the episodes as an overall.
Sometimes this is well written, fits for good reason & well balanced with realistic characters , for the half when it hits in a good balance it hits really great. in depth exploration of humans , dealing with pain death , change, direction, interactions
