Agreed, but she's so awful and clueless about how awful she is that I can't help but laugh. And the actress playing her does a great job of making us hate her.
Yeah. After how this season ended I don't see how it can go back to being the same show again. Maybe that's a good thing but it seems risky.
I've only watched the show on Netflix where the cursing isn't bleed. In fact, I was wondering how they got away with this on network TV. Now I understand.
I'm 50 years old and I enjoyed it. I can't say I related to the type of bullying depicted as there was no social media when I was in high school, but some of the themes such as being mindful of how you treat others are universal. Also the adult characters are much more fleshed out than in the book (from what I heard) so it's not just about the kids.
Yes, from IMDB. Aren't we all?
As a big fan of the original (I own it on DVD) I'm curious about this. The original was such lurid, campy fun in a way only a 70's film could be. I worry a modern version would be too tasteful for it's own good. Looking on IMDB, I didn't see anyone playing Hattie who was one of my favorite characters. Having a slave character is probably no longer acceptable even if accurate for the time. Also curious if it will have the same Gothic horror tone, or be more of a romance. Still, looking forward to it.
I remember when Sarah Paulson dropped the F bomb once on The People vs. OJ Simpson and it was a BIG DEAL; articles were written about how it was a first for FX. One year later I guess anything goes.
When I saw the score had dropped from 100 to 99 I knew the one bad review would be from Armond White before looking at it. I loved the movie but even I was suspicious of 100% RT score. None of the nominees for Best Picture had 100%! And nor do I care if I movie I like maintains a 100% since so few movies do.
