I think the point may be that content does not "land" the same for everyone, and that is where the subjectivity comes in. I know that's the case for me. There are shows that are liked generally that just absolutely don't work for me. And I think that most of the regulars here have expressed exactly the same thing at one time or another. If something blows right by you without being absorbed, in your reality, it is not there, even through it is certainly in the script. And while we kinda hope critics are picking up most all of the content, even that is not always the case. I also think that sometimes what resonates depends on our own background. Will Hamilton mean as much to a person from another country? We don't know yet. I have a friend who remarked the other day that he wondered if Hamilton would be viewed differently by someone who has never been on the subway in New York. that's a good question too.
