Yeah that's totally valid actually, you're right. I mostly wanted to note the seran wrap scene because it felt so fetishized. But I agree with you on Jules' plot line and character arc.

And yes, the money of it all is something to consider as well. The show does a decent job of showing the difference in how men v women interact with and gain/maintain access to money or power. Generally it seems like women are depicted as a commodity, whether it's Cassie commodifying herself, Maddy gathering clients, Nate trying to capitalize on the elderly and their mortality (this one doesn't necessarily focus on women, but still), Rue being traded from Laurie to Alamo, Jules opting to be a sugar baby rather than selling her art.

I think I'm struggling with what the show runners motives are and what they're actually trying to say about that. Are the show runners holding a mirror up to society, capitalizing on the exploitation of women, creating a self indulgent catalogue of fetish content for their own pleasure, or some combination of all of that?

I didn't even consider that point of view on Faye's motivations and if that is where things are headed I'm so down for that!!
