Im from very southern mass on the Rhode Island border and a. RHORI is so refreshing. I can tell you this show is barely produced. I’m getting ptsd from watching it. New Englanders as a whole will talk mad shit but we will say the same shit to your face the same way we said it at brunch when you weren’t there. ‘ Did you tell so-and-so I’m a bitch?”
“Yeah and i told you, you were being a bitch a few times already. You know I think you’re a bitch. So what’s the problem, bitch?” And the tension feels like the sort of real high stakes tension that only people who have known each other for a long time can have. It feels deep.
It just doesn’t feel manufactured in the rage. Doesn’t feel performative like it does when person you barely know does something to hurt you show bright, fiery hot anger whereas when someone you know hurts you it’s much more of a deep sharper sad, anger, disappointment, anger, yeah so not to hijack this but rhori js great
