Totally

I loved it. The fact there was no dialogue just made it more effective and powerful.

It Is perfect🔥

It was. Fabulous

The survivor look. I am a survivor

@Miranda I feel like the second season would've been better if they had just told the truth. I guess it wouldn't have been "dramatic" enough.

I'm just sad that Jane didn't happen to have her gun on her. Though I wouldn't want her to have gone to jail.

If you read the book it was more than that and I love how zoë said it all in her face alone. Her father abused her mother and she grew up watching him hurt her so that push wasn’t completely self defense but catharsis as well.

In the book, Bonnie pushes Perry. No premeditation. No intent. She's angry! He's just swiped his wife, in "a practised arc", and forcefully enough for her to be knocked off her chair across the floor.

The others just stood there going “nooo pleaseeee”

Yeeted him out of existence

The best scene in the whole season❤️

The looked they shared spoke a thousand words.

Reese was amazing

I mean. . . What it literally takes to be an actor. . . What it means to be a woman. The understanding women share that needs no words. Why women are most perceptive. . . The revealing scene shakes me to my core. She recognized him and her body froze in shock. Reese felt it and saw it. Nicole knew how dark her husband was. I just wonder how the woman in the middle was thinking. . .

They ARE great actors. I mean, Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley, what more can you expect from them???

But the story on the other hand…

@@moonlightfitz the story is great as well, maybe season 2 jumped the shark but we can be grateful for that first season

@@moonlightfitz maybe season 2, but season 1 is a masterpiece imo..

Omg, I know! I was afraid and really shocked when I saw the first domestic violence scene. I felt it like it was me.

@@saydetrujillo9591 as someone who lived in it as a child and witnessed it I gotta say the show did a brilliant job in handling this it was very accurate. Alexander Skarsgard earned his golden globe I hated him with a vengence his portrayl was 100% accurate to real abusers and how they operate

I kinda expected it,bcoz Jane never met Perry from the starting ,and she described the violent nature of her rapist

i can’t believe i didn’t connect those dots earlier, now it all makes sense

As soon as she had her flashback it just all connected. Just the fear that went over her and I felt it 😔

i had a hunch about that half way, but after the saxon banks thingy, it threw me off.

when i first saw the pic of saxon i thought it was perry... @@xcutepikax

IM READY TO END MY SUBSCRIPTION ...NETFLIX IS LAME

i agree, this was great. but hbo doesnt create the show per se, they just hire the directors.

Did they practice their violent scenes off camera?

just binged the show today, and honestly it was already predictable that it was Perry who assaulted Jane before. But there’s nothing wrong with predictability since they executed it quite well!

@@blvejxde7913 Same, I picked up on it early on. Still great show though, the finale sublime

I didn't like the book at all but I LOOOOOOOOOOVED the show. All of them elevated the material to wowza levels.

Yes. And, I really don't like dark shows. After each of the first couple episodes, I decided I wasn't going to watch anymore. But, then I was too curious to find out what happens that I watched the entire season.

It’s not really dark at all. It really depends on what you can take. Without the domestic abuse story line it wouldn’t have been a darker theme.

This miniseries showed that domestic abuse happens not just to low or middle income families, but also to wealthy well-educated ones too. Looking from the outside- most people might be envious of those lovely homes and attractive couples, who seem to have it all. The private hidden and ugly behaviors reach into all walks of life.

watching a show about women makes you gay? that’s some toxic masculinity bullshit right there🙄

Your dad sucks

@@kermittheefrog5762 yeah but you have to understand that times were very different when our parents were kids. Gay people weren't as accepted back then and if they come from another country then that's ten times more true cause they're still not accepted in other countries. So sometimes it stems from generations of ignorance.

Having feelings is not "being in touch with your feminine side". It's being a bloody normal person.

Oaw

Perry was the one who what ? Someone spoil this for me please 😫😫

@@mysticmarlee Perry( stellan skarsgards character) had sexually assaulted Jane( shaliene woodley’s character) many years prior to when Nicole Kidman’s character married Perry. The whole season shaliene is trying to remember who assaulted her and she found out it was Perry the whole time by her remembering his voice in the end.

@@jacobdecker2564Perry abused Jane when he was already married to Celeste. Ziggy and the twins are the same age, and Nicole said she had already had 4 miscarriages before she got pregnant with the twins. So they had already been married a year or more when Perry assaulted Jane.

Could have also been his eyes that she recognized.

@@shwa8920 Perhaps

In the book she doesn’t recognize him until he takes his wig off

Same here😂

No, otherwise you’ll know to much

In the book Nathan comes over to the house after the incident. And explained Bonnie’s past to Madeline and Ed . She witnessed domestic violence growing up as a child. Her father was extremely violent toward her mother . In the book Perry only slaps Celeste . Everyone else just stands frozen in shock. Bonnie immediately has a revelation about why Max must be so violent toward her daughter and Amabella. Because the children see. They see the violence in the home . And she immediately knew this couldn’t have been the first time. That Perry was just like her dad. And so she pushes him. I guess…for all the children that see. And now that I think about it. I’m not sure that in the series it’s confirmed that the twins ever saw any violence in the home. But in the book they clearly do. Celeste mentions this in the car to Perry outside the school. When they discuss what to do about Max. Perry immediately get defensive and tells Celeste there’s no way they twins know. But Celeste gives at least two examples of when the twins have walked in on it. This is why on the day Celeste finds out about Max (day of trivia night) Btw finds this out because the other twin tells her on the morning of trivia night. She decides that the marriage is definitely over and she’s leaving. Because despite the fact that her and Perry pretended the violence didn’t affect the kids. It did. Throughout the books she constantly convinces herself that she couldn’t leave . That she needed to stay for the twins. At least until they were 18. She couldn’t just ripe them away from their home. Their father . It would destroy them. When she finds out about Max. She realizes she could no longer stay because of the kids. So in the end it all comes back full circle. Like I said idk if all this is revealed in season 2 . The book ends with Celeste becoming a public speaker for DV . Bonnie turns herself in . And is found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Gets a small sentence. Abigail wanting to move back home. And that’s about it . The end. There is no book 2. All this stuff I’m seeing about Bonnie and Nathan getting a divorce in the comments are not in the book. Though Nathan does kinda allude to their marriage not being perfect to Madeline and Ed. Bonnie suffers from PTSD. She experiences night terrors about her dad. And it is hard and definitely takes a toll on the marriage. But Nathan is adamant that Bonnie is a good person. A good mom and wife . Shes just a little damaged . She isn’t perfect . Like the book depicts from the perspective of Madeline. She has baggage and scars like the rest of them. But up until the last chapter of the book it isn’t revealed. It’s only after Perry dies that Nathan reveals it all . And it’s at that point that Madeline realizes that Bonnie is family. Just like Ed and Abigail and Chloe. She would do anything to protect her . Despite the fact that she secretly couldn’t stand her. She was family. And she cared about her

I get what you’re saying truly I do however in eyes of the law they are guilty of obstruction. Bonnie is guilty of manslaughter. In the eyes of law only. Not anyone who has a shred of human decency. No jury should convict them.

Accidental manslaughter is still a crime…Even if it’s accidental

Accidental manslaughter is still a crime…Even if it’s accidental

Binge has it

LOL u know nothing, shut up

Okay so it’s been 8 months you probably know already but the guy 7 years ago in the show raped her and she had a kid from it and that moment was the first she saw him since it happened

douglas maark September song - Agnes Obel

Daniel Agee : how's the world treating you. But in original the song is elvis presley

You meet someone, build a life with with them, have kids.. It's a long road and Celeste thought she shouldn't leave Perry cause he was the father of their children! She couldn't speak against him.. He had demons inside of him and yes, she slowly realised what a monster he was. Why do people still stay then? Cause they are afraid, terrified, hurt.. NO one deserves abuse.!!! she and Jane were his victims and he needed help!

Dumbass

It's easy to say that from the outside looking in

Omg just shut the fuck up and go educate yourself

Not for the kids. She too loved him which is shown in second season. To paraphrase psychiatrist in season two 'Some soldiers find their life dull after coming back from the war. You miss the war Celeste." Perfectly sums it up.

It's not unrealistic at all when you consider: 1.) She had a pretty long running start. Pushing someone while stationery is not the same as pushing someone when you have momentum behind it. 2.) She likely pushed him as he was gearing up for another kick, therefore standing on one leg and easily unbalanced. 3.) She was clearly in a heightened "fight" mode and human bodies of all shapes and sizes are known to do incredible things when the adrenaline gets pumping.
