season 1 / episode 8 (season finale)

oh jesus christ, this is literally one of my favorite tv show endings of the year and honest to god, one of my new favorite shows of all time. I was totally not expecting that ending and twist (despite not reading the book) but WOW what an amazing show! bravo jean! I’m in complete shock right now. like this is on some high level hereditary shit right here. please give this show a watch, no matter what most people say, it’s amazing.

i had been itching to give this a rewatch for a few weeks now and i'm finally glad i got around to it, because this show (and book) is so effective in the way it handles several issues surrounding womanhood in particular, such as:

> the way the patriarchy attacks girls and women who don't conform to societal standards (ann and natalie, two tomboys, being the victims of amma, the stereotypical popular girl)
> the kinds of abuse that can exist between mothers and daughters (joya to adora, adora to camille, marion, and amma)
> the idea that women don't have the capacity to be violent or to harm children (they immediately assume that a man was at fault and refused any suggestion that a woman may be the killer)

also amy adams giving a peformance like THAT and still not being able to win any awards? i'm tired
