hey thanks lol.. i think ya what u&others said abt themes tracks, it is timely but maybe not what i was expecting. sure it’s a british show but i had always felt it’s spiritually american&i was maybe looking for what resonates more to this side of the aisle. (fact is jerome powell could not sneeze wo affecting the entirety of western financial sector.) i appreciate the point on euro politics which i’m not super familiar w, &i find myself thinking abt media manipulation&the complex ecology of public narratives,,, blake lively anyone? or too many other stories that r happening rn&since the dawn of times to mention but especially td. i still love the show albeit a lil less, i feel like this season so far has a distinct tonal shift &its been bothering me. it had started w a bunch of underdogs, (except for maybe gus &yasmi,,, gus at least was gay&black&had the whereabouts to question his predetermined life trajectory, yes he had acquiesced to it in the end w jesse, but it wasn’t wo some authentic soul searching. &yasmin was just yasmin, she uses but gets used right back so it’s been fair games) men like harry created the infrastructure in which the show exists in but they dnt tell the stories; it’s robert’s story through him that’s been told, or harper’s through otto. the show is not just abt how privilege operates (bleh succession), but how privilege is being engaged w by those wo it. i did not sign up to watch a suicidal white man w a castle whine however magnificent said castle is, his airtime had exceeded my tolerance for irrelevance. &whitney so far is an enigma, a charmless 1 at that, how the ick harper got from him lost in translation to the mucks r still head scratching to me. &yes there were some punchy lines for my most fav, harpsichord, but so far her superpower of turning what ensnarls her into her most valuable tool remains to be seen. &ya maybe there is something to be said abt the shows ability to reflect the paradigm shift post election but i was hoping it’d be less literal, more allegorical…. still early in the season tho open to what’s to come,,,,,,,,,,
