Yes, I did.
I'm positive she's just been starring as a main character throughout six seasons of "How to get away with murder", opposite Viola Davis
Well, you can't expect Littlefinger not to conspire, and try to make the most of it for himself.
Though turned out the real a**hole was Tom Branson.
Rather top-notch quality in the acting department, as expected (and as usual in UK shows).
It's just not as compelling as I expected it to be.
Besides, the Moriarty-less episodes (I've currently reached 03x01) tend to be a bit dragged on and on the boring side.
Watching the movie finale right now, for about the eighth time all around, and I can't hold my tears. For the eighth time.
What I was meaning is there wouldn't have been that much of a fuss about it. Maddy was kind of an "it" girl, the pool scene with Tyler was probably her usual partying style. Anyway, you definitely have a point in - no pun intended - pointing that out.
I'd go with the odds: Maddy would hardly be turned into a laughingstock, being an attractive cheerleader and an overall popular girl (though not coming from a wealthy family, usually an issue in this kind of shows). For Kat, it's the other way around. Sad, but true.
Besides, Maddy was clearly riding the situation - both literally and metaphorically, - like she was providing "her" audience an exhibition. Kat's video was definitely more of an awkward, improvised thing, shot from behind her back (again, both literally and metaphorically), and which she didn't seem to have given her explicit consent to.
On a second watch of the whole show, I have to say, I'm appreciating Kramer's antics and comedic style much more.
I don't think so... to date, at least. I've just been catching both seasons few days ago.
Gagging him with napkins while he was driving, and then destroying his toy train, was a good start.
Don't you think that, keeping in mind Perry was beating the s*** out of Celeste, with the latter in clear danger herself, they would all get attenuating circumstances?
Anyway, what I was meaning first is the "fires" started by Izzy's siblings are allegoric, instead of literal. Just depicting a generation shift, between Millennials and late Boomers, and how those particular kids are taking some distance from an overwhelming mother (whom I still think isn't that bad a person as the series suggest, in comparison at least: Mia's not that better, let alone Bebe).
I know it's not "that kind of story", that it's set in reality, but that's the sense it gave me. It might even be a hint to Graham Greene's 1954 short shory "The Destructors".
I agree the older three kids' aversion towards Elena, and the subsequent reaction, looks a bit rushed.
All in all, when it comes to turning the allegory into a metaphor, it's like Izzy, as the younger child of the Richardsons, paved the way for his brothers and sister to turn against their mother's "liberal on the surface, actually WASP-ish" attitude.
I don't think it's meant to be interpreted and taken in a literal way.
I think that sequence is rather suggesting an allegory, telling how Elena's three children are at least temporarily "burning the bridges" linking them all to their overwhelming mom.
All in all, I kinda felt sorry for Elena herself. And the McCulloughs arc's ending really broke my heart... though I'm totally on the left wing, politics-wise, I was definitely rooting for May Ling/Mirabelle to keep living with them.
Not buying it, J.D.
He definitely loves Turk more than anyone else in the world, Elliot included. Now, if we ask ourselves whether Turkleton loves Vanilla Bear or Carla more, that's a real challenge.
My take, and maybe I'm not recalling every detail from seasons 2 and 3, is:
- Ryan is a year older than the others (as Bryce and Monty were), and is allegedly back from his sabbathical around Europe (he's most likely from a rich and privileged family, though we never get to meet his folks and possible siblings), just to say goodbye to his former accomplices/kind of friends. He's shown to be grieving Hannah, and there's the tie with the LH "justice-driven" gang.
- Courtney is definitely in everyone else's same class. I don't think anything like that was mentioned throughout his brief S3 appearance, but, being a top-grade student, probably on Ani's tier, there's a chance she started college a year before the other ones, or even got to to take a rest/travel throughout the second half-school year, maybe out of having gained enough credits to enter the college she wanted to (most likely an Ivy League one, since his parents look pretty wealthy). That would explain his total non-involvement in everything going on throughout S4 (a clarifying line would have been appreciated, though).
- The unveiling of Marcus' misdemeanors in both Hannah's suicide build-up and the Clubhouse sexual assaults clearly ruined his father's political career, and is safe to say the whole family moved elsewhere. Marcus was a dick up until the end of his arc, and, unlike most of the others driving Hannah to take her own life away, showed no sign of redemption. Therefore, quoting Chuck Schuldiner's Death, no "moment of clarity" towards Clay and the gang, he just disappeared from everyone's lives. As sometimes happens in real life, we just don't get to know what future he met: he either may, eventually, have got to face the shame his deeds bore, and even embarking a "be-better" path, or, once having been discharged from a legal standpoint, kept on being a total prick. Possibly even a worse one, if he got a load-free pass on what he did.
The film entertained me, with some good performances and a compelling story, but, on an objective plan, I basically agree with the OP. The dialogue was really too on-the-nose, most of the time.
Mr. Carson would be in his full rights to slap you good, to say the least.
I bid you a good day, Sir.
Childish post aside (glad the OP edited it), I think casting a rather unattractive - no offense meant - woman as the rape victim was a smart move from the producers.
Even some characters address to Trish being subpar, look-wise (I'm notably thinking about Cath - one could argue, though, it was out of spite). To such remarks, the DIs correctly remind rape is not about sexual attraction, rather being about overpowering and domination.
Besides, Trish seems to attract quite average-to-good-looking-men, considering Broadchurch is not a glossy parade of starlets, on the account of a brilliant personality (at least it's what's hinted to - keep in mind I'm halfway Episode 3.5). And that's what, in the adult world at least, charm is mostly about.
They usually don't work indeed, unless they already are on the grounds of a very adult and mature foundation, which doesn't necessarily depend on age (though it usually helps a bit, especially work-wise).
I was in one, between late 00's and early 10's. It worked for a bit, then her personal life got much more complicated. And we still had a lot going on, before turning into a "stable" lifestyle (as long as it really does exist, right now). I think we really loved each other, but we ultimately drifted apart.
Anyway, this is one of my favourite romantic dramas ever. You can feel the two leads' pain and struggle through the screen.
