Seen any shitty movies lately?
TBH it wasn't that bad but I was never a fan of the show and watching it was an intensely mediocre experience. One thing I thought was really strange was this whole "stand by your abusive man" undercurrent which showed up in 2 subplots. WTF.
And I get that the Princess Mary subplot was maybe abusive but what was the second one?
The princess Mary plotline and the one between the servant who didn't care for the royal family and who was engaged. [Spoiler (click to open)]
Her fiancé smashing the furnace because she was nice to the plumber wasn't a sign of passion or whatever that's like a classic warning that a man is going to become abusive. I was so grossed out when she found out and gave that little speech about how she's ready to marry him now. So much media written by men and aimed at women is like this where they portray violence as "romantic".
