      Ella was also one of the producers for this show actually. She said she's more nervous about what people think about this show than any of her previous roles because she actually had involvement in the show behind the scenes too and not simply in front of the camera.

    AJ never comes off as nepo-baby or schmuck or dickhead. He is nothing but sympathetic and supportive from the second he first appears on screen. He is the only character in episode one who doesn't treat Rhiannon like crap. But she sees him that way throughout the first half of the show, I think the point is probably to show us, that she assumes the worst in people, even when they are nothing but nice.

    i definitely agree with you with AJ's character the way he sees Rhiannon it's as if they're in sync like he knows and can tell what she's feeling or thinking which is very satisfying to witness as a viewer also the way he moves even when he's not entirely focused into a particular scene is very interesting because he's still watching out or on the look out or Rhiannon

      If you watched the video, you would know that this show is a prequel to the events of the book, which I have not read FYI (since you asked).

Other than that every other aspect of the show was great.

However, I forgave them as I realised those abrupt, unsubtle moments were where the show was veering into it's black comedy genre elements more than a deeply serious and subtle drama.

    By no means am I writing off the season as a whole, as it does make a good watch and I did enjoy it. However, it is NOT a prequel set before the events of the book - a lot of characters aren't developed nearly enough, most are actually changed entirely and the justification to how/why Sweetpea is the way she is just isn't explored. It's definitely still worth a watch for sure, but (not to be that person) the books are definitely better as so much is missing/changed 😅

    Only issue i had was the dog scene. They should have stuck with how it is in the book. Really ruined the show for me. Everything else was entertaining, i felt bad for her but she also was an idiot at times and her victim mentality was frustrating but thats how some people are. I was bullied and i took it badly after high school, i didnt leave my house for over a year and hated myself but dealt with it, she kept blaming julia when she didnt cause her dog to die, or her dad to die. It angered me. I couldnt root for her tbh esp at the end of the show.
    The bike scene and them plotting to set up the abusive fiancé was very predictable too

      Sexism relies on power dynamics within the patriarchy, which means it only works in one direction. You can’t be sexist towards men because they aren’t on the receiving end of that systemic oppression.

Hatred can go both ways no matter the term, if you as a woman lower a man simple because he is a man than yes, that is sexist and it works the other way as well.

    • @kel2880
      @kel2880 Місяць тому

      Sure, hatred can go both ways, but not sexism. The reasons for men and women’s hatred towards the opposite gender are vastly different. Men hate women because they view us as inferior to them. THAT is sexism. Women hate men BECAUSE of thousands of years of intergenerational abuse and trauma at the hands of men. We hate them because we want them to stop terrorizing our mothers and sisters, defending abusive men, and promoting toxic masculinity. THAT is a reaction to men's sexism. Sure, our reactions to misogyny might not always be nice or pretty. But it is NOT sexism. And don’t say ‘violence can go both ways.’ I know that men can be victimized by women too, which is a problem, but it’s around 2% of cases compared to the 98% of violent crimes that are perpetrated by men. The patriarchy doesn’t just benefit men a little more than women-it SOLELY serves to benefit men.
      You should recognize, as a black man, that a white person being racist to a black person is absolutely NOT the same as a black person calling a white person a cracker or something. It doesn't carry the same weight because of historical and societal context. Same goes for sexism.

    I have a few problems as Sweetpea goes on. I absolutely love the show and I am glad you are covering it. It is not being covered by too many people (if any) at all. There have been a couple of reviews but no analyses, and I was hoping there would be like a lot of other shows I watch. So, I found it way too convenient and irritating that Julia's husband is portrayed as an abuser. He came off more like Julia was an abuser (also much more likely considering how she speaks to and treats everyone). I was sure she was lying so that Sweetpea would feel sorry for her and let her go. I have a hard time believing Julia is the victim, even tied up and threatened she is still horrible to Sweetpea. She would have been my first to go as would that idiot in the convenience store as well as Seren. I feel like Sweetpea is an out of control Dexter - she has no real regard for covering her DNA or evidence. I can't discern what, if anything, she is really thinking. Almost like she is just committing crimes of opportunity, rather than her Kill List. Or were they getting her primed for what she had to do? At first, I didn't really consider that Sweetpea is really only killing men, and tbh, that is disappointing to me (as a woman). I feel like women do such serious damage to each other, and I don't want this to be a male bashing show. I have read the spoilers for the last episodes, and I am pretty sad about the ending of season 1.
