It’s on YouTube right now for free. Broen season 4.
The Craft 1996 or Clueless 1995, Mean Girls 2004 or The Devil Wears Prada 2006.
I don’t think it ranks. Love the show but it is a prequel and limited in where it can go. We learn a bit more about characters we already know the future for. The originals are always free to move as they see fit. Not in the same class as BB, The Americans or Homeland. JMHO.
I like the actress but she seams miscast.
Tied up in the last episode. Carrie Coon’s character gives him the tape of their session from the cabin. As she drills him for what he wants he moves her hand to his throat as if to choke him. His mother was depressed but not violent. He started the fire that got her committed for the rest of her life and could never tell anyone. He turned to S&M to punish himself during a most pleasurable experience out of guilt, not deserving it. Now we get the picture of how he senses the pain and guilt of the two perpetrators in each season and his quest for the whole story.
I agree. Mason was lost from the time he entered the store. His unreasonableness drove the point home. This sets up Wendy to kill Darlene and take the baby back playing off Marty’s guilt and revenge for what the Snell’s stared by selling dope at the church on the lake and probably calling the authorities on Mason and the baby.
Not sure if this was the scene in at the house where Helen and Wendy talk or not. If so then my impression was as follows.
It turned out Marty was more important to the Cartel then Del. Thus no real blow back on Marty when Del was killed and keeping Windy alive by vouching for her at her lover’s apartment. Wendy was lost a bit in season 1 but gained her footing this season where she rediscovered purpose. Helen realizes that it’s Wendy that is primarily responsible for the casino with her manipulation of the various politicos and the Snells. Wendy earned her trust when the FBI raid garnered nothing. Helen and Wendy have similar styles in negotiating and management then Marty. Marty is win win and if rejected try’s to find win win differently. Helen and Wendy are option 1 is win win and you won’t like option 2. We see this in the parking garage with Helen and Wendy’s judicious use of black mail when option 1 is rejected. In the office discussion Helen offers a bigger partnership and riches with option 1 and hints she knows about what they are up to implying option 2. Wendy smiles because she now knows that she and Marty are equal or more important than Helen or there would have been no option 1. If they fail Helen fails and everyone goes down. Later when Windy meets Helen it’s not about killing Cade but whether she’s all in and how serious all in is. Wendy excepts and becomes Del’s replacement.
