I HAVE FINISHED THE SERIES.
1. wtf, why was Nicky not in the WHOLE THING? Like, was there a Real World reason? Because it made me sad.
2.This is a very nuanced series. Healy is a pathetic wanker yet also sympathetic. I
love how they build the relationship between him and Red based on their pragmatism, soft spots and age. They are old school and they understand each other. It's actually sweet. This is such a rare thing in television.
3. In the end when Piper tells Ruby Rose who has stolen all her monies "your situation is going to be my situation in the next six to twelve months" I thought this was an example of Piper's WASPy self absorption because Piper has a brother who loves her and parents who while assholes will still still take her in and do the minimal "right thing" at least. But WHOA that was just player lvl BULLSHIT on Piper's part and GO PIPER!!! She was stringing Ruby Rose along and she fucked her over real good. I think the Piper growth into next level manipulative shit is very believable. We opened with Piper as whiny manipulator but we're now into her finding her power in that "skill".
I liked Ruby Rose's androgynous attractiveness but her accent shit me to tears. I don't know what the deal is and I realize probably no one reading this post will know what I mean but transplanted Aus accents always sound horribly fake and put upon. Anyway, it did not endear her to me.
Big Boo backstory: THANK YOU I have been waiting for this from Day One. I adore Big Boo and her friendly maternal care for the much more pathetic pennsatucky was lovely.
The Lake: I got tears in my eyes seeing all these women enjoying their stolen and no doubt punished moment in that lake splashing around. Some of this is so upsetting.. I hope at least one person watching this series starts to question the war on drugs. Poor Nicky. What does all this prison do for anyone.
What is going to happen to that baby
Poor Daya, what was she in for again? This seems cruel
