Hall’s David and Mathew St. Patrick’s Keith proved groundbreaking; Ball’s determination to write female characters that weren’t defined by the men in their lives; the stereotype-free depiction of Latinx leads Freddy Rodriguez’s Rico and Justina Machado’s Vanessa; how Ball planned the memorable series finale; and the show’s effectiveness twenty years later.
