In the end, I think the show couldn't live up to all the wild speculation, and it was never going to be a murder mystery, that's not Mike White's style. I think it pulled the punches, overplayed the Tanya storyline, it was gorgeously shot and stylized, but didn't really deliver, minus any killing or mayhem, it just felt like it didn't have the conviction to say much of anything about anything, after all the rabid speculation, and themes it hinted it.
Very enjoyable season of television, but it did feel like a watered down expensive whiskey by the last scene, and that's ok.
He did say "she played me", but the way his character described the whole deal, it was something he was aware was a risk, and he did it anyway, because he felt it was the right thing, a sort of moral reckoning, plus he was obviously into her. Odd choice to have him say that Portia.
I think there's a lot of misogyny from both men and women when it comes to money and sex/relationships. Like Albie said "it's nothing to you". There's a few women, in my life, who aren't sex workers, at all, but if I was suddenly up a few million, I would change their lives, just because I want to see them good. Thats's really giving at it's purest, when you take transactional norms out of it.
I gave someone an Hermes bracelet recently, just for the love. That's not my girl, I don't want her to be mine, no strings attached, I just wanted her to wear on her wrist and feel special.
might be the most unrealistic thing ive ever seen in a tv show
Started cackling at the way tanya fell
This is a pretty good summation of how I feel.
