The way she was so nonchalant about it/casually shooting her up was terrifying and the pans over to the padlocked basement door are very creepy in retrospect But then maybe it would get too far from what the show actually is, or maybe they didn't feel confident handling it properly.

True, but I still think that would be an interesting topic for a piece of fiction to sympathetically cover. And audiences are hosed up enough to still think less of the character/actress for that. 'Willingly choosing' is also kind of a complicated phrase from an addict's perspective, even without Laurie's injections and padlocks - I mean I'm not expecting glowing sex worker positivity from that particular situation either way. Equally not sure this show could or should handle something like that. I don't even feel super comfortable posting about it, just felt like the show backed down and shied away from something real.

I was real confused by the random shots of Kat doing her pornhub thing being mixed in with the Cass/Nate stuff but someone explained it as contrasting both girls performing for men, which seems to track.

I truly cannot tell if this is a bad soap opera mess of a show that's occasionally accidentally really good (episode 5 of season 2, the Rue special), and really stylish (rotating hallway shot, dickpick presentation, detective Rue) or if it's a good show with a point and a purpose that's just overly self-indulgent on pacing and musical numbers and Riverdale-level drama and is actually going to pay things off.TheBizzness posted:Yeah he loving owns

The dramatics with Ash were very weird and took me out of everything. Got across some real tension in those moments, but this kid willing to go kamikaze jars so hard with what the rest of the show is, it was such an odd way to go. What was Cal actually arrested for? Filming without consent? If it was the Jules video, she's going to be compelled to testify and that's kinda hosed up? I was kinda confused.

Very curious what he's on.MrMojok posted:I recently binged this after seeing Zendaya in Dune, and reading some criticisms of her performance in that flick. I didn't know anyone said she was bad, I figured the Dune criticisms was that she was used like a perfume model who got a couple of lines at the end, haha.
