Hey, I'm Candace Lim.

And I'm Kate Lindsay, and you're listening to I see why am I.

In case you missed it.

Slate's podcast about internet culture.

And finally, the day has come for me to talk about the Molly May Hay docu-series on this show.

Finally, finally.

I mean, I can't believe with your love of Molly May and my love of Molly May, it actually

hasn't come up yet.

But I'm also maybe not as much

of a fan as I claim to be because you were the one who dropped the news to me that part two of her

Amazon show just came out. I ate up the first batch of episodes back in January. It is perfect mindless content. Yeah. I literally, every single week after that came out, would ask myself, like, when's the second part dropping? And then when I stopped asking, it came out. And that is... I didn't even realize there was a second part. I did not know that there was more to tell, but I'm happy there is. Yeah. And for those who need something new to watch, Molly May Haig is probably the most famous contestant to come out of Love Island, UK. She walked out with Tommy Fury, who became her fiancé and the father of their child. But last August, they broke up, and it was the breakup that shocked the world.

I still remember where I was. I still remember who I texted. Oh, my God. Everything came to a halt.

It was covered on ITV. It was national news. It was international news. It was the breakup hurt around

the world. And people, myself included, were heartbroken. And then in January,

Molly May drops the first part of this docu-series with Amazon and it was a must watch because

the show was supposed to be about this perfect life with Tommy and then this breakup happens.

And the production team sort of clearly had to do the sharp pivot. And now it's like a show

about the aftermath of their breakup. I mean, you also watched the first pivot. And now it's like a show about the aftermath of

their breakup. I mean, you also watched the first part. What did you think of it? I loved it.

I ran through all of those first episodes in one night, which is funny because like I actually

was not even that keyed into Molly May beforehand. Like I knew she was on Love Island, UK, but she was on it before I started watching, which was the Eckensu season.

You started with Eckensoe? I know. I mean, that's a great place to start. If it wasn't, I would either recommend people start with Molly May or if they don't have time, if they need a quicker introduction, start with Ecken, Sue. Right. And like, little did I know that Molly walked so Ecken could run.
