I'm really struggling with the ending of this show..it was so powerful
@ThatArabGirl102 күн бұрын
This show broke my heart. I was like Reena when I was a child. Being from an Arabic family, and people saw me as weird, or sometimes, not even human. It was hard enough to get bullied by other kids, but some adults were just as bad. I didn't like Rebecca. I thought she was selfish, and only cared about her book. I felt sorry for Warren G., however, he played a huge part in Reena's death. I don't know if I could forgive like Reena's mother. In my faith (Islam), we believe that we have to forgive others because we want God to forgive us. I understand it on an intellectual level, but emotionally, sometimes things are so painful, that it's hard to forgive. Reena's mother is with her daughter now, and may they both rest in peace. Thank you for the review. I'm a new sub.

Ah man I’m so sorry you bullied like that. Extending forgiveness is not easy. I don’t know if I could do what Sumna did. And I didn’t even realize this but Sumna is with Reena now and may they both rest ❤️. This show was incredibly hard on so many levels. Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏽 too!!!

@@isaagape Thank you so much for your kindness. There is one person that I still have a hard time forgiving. It was a teacher I had when I was a child. I had a speech impediment, and had trouble pronouncing certain letters, plus I stuttered when I became nervous, scared, or stressed in any way. One day, she made me stand to answer a question in class. I answered, and she said that she couldn't understand me. She made me repeat my answer several times, still claiming that she can't understand. All the other kids were looking at me, some were laughing. The teacher had this vicious smirk on her face as she made me repeat myself over, and over again. I eventually broke down in tears. I felt humiliated, and broken. She didn't like me because I was Arab/Muslim, and she never hid that fact. She was just a vicious, racist, and very ugly excuse for a human being and an educator. Reena's story really got to me, also how Dusty was treated. All people of color, and persecuted for it. Currently, I'm watching "Interview with the Vampire". I highly recommend it. I just finished "Baby Reindeer", I think you'd like it. "Yellowjackets" is a great show, too. I love finding little gems like "Under the Bridge". Stories like those should be told because as people of color, we need for our struggles, and traumas to be recognized, and to have our dignity back. We are often ignored, disbelieved, and generally persecuted for not being white, and for being different. Thank you again!!

Well… I don’t know ur real name otherwise I’d address you as such, there’s healing on the other side. I was physically abused by my teacher when I was really young. I hope you find ❤️🩹 to all of these traumatic experiences. I’m so very sorry you had to go through that! I heard of those shows… just haven’t jumped in. There’s so much content and I do a lot of music writing and marketing too on top of this channel. It’s been a good thing for me to help flesh out stories and continue to fall more in love with it. And with writing a script right now it’s certainly helpful! Hopefully you stick around with shows I’m talking about. 🙏🏽. Thank you for letting me know what you’re watching!

My heart broke over and over and over during this episode. I think I will watch the series again but not now. My heart couldn't take it .The vulnerability & empathy throughout was huge. To think that a cold blooded killer got 5 years because she done well in school is harrowing.. Surely it should be based on the crime itself. To think she's out and has teo kid's is scary. The scene between Reena's Mum and Warren was so powerful & healing for them both. What he done was awful at least he showed remorse and tried to make Amends. Really sad that Rebecca & Cam went their separate ways but the choice of song during their scene said it all. The intimacy and vulnerability between them both was beautiful. I hope this show wins awards

@@whoami1654 I think writers right lines to mean several things.. I think Cam (young Cam in the previous to last episode) when we saw the dynamic between Cam Gabe and Rebecca probably was slightly confused about her sexuality. The comment “it’s ok to feel that” is probably about multiple things at once I. The writers mind…. It’s ok to feel what she feels towards Rebecca cause perhaps when they were young she didn’t think it was. So obviously a lot is derived from that moment in time (the day Gabe died) clearly Rebecca was annoyed with the relationship between her brother and Cam. And Cam didn’t exactly love how Rebecca treated her brother. It’s a lot lol

When she say's " I'll make sure everyone sees you have a good heart" to Warren. She's talking about for herself but wants to try and do it for him because no-one ever done it for her. There's only one episode to go and I can't see those two coming back from this. I think the trauma they've Both had the damage has already been done.

Thank you for a lovely review. I loved the show, and not only because I have been a long time fan of Andrew Scott. The reason it is the best looking thing you have seen on Netflix is because it is not a Netflix production. Showtime made the series in 2001 and for financial reasons sold it to Netflix for a song I believe. They take the credit of course. I have watched it twice and picked up several things second time around. It is very true to the book which the film (which I loved) isn’ t.

Oh I almost forgot the warp capable , that's light speed, coal powered ship, was it the Titanic? yes because it sank just like it, we know this because we watched it in slow motion, it is flawed, incomprehensible, unwatchable, egocentric, calamitous drivel and this from the director that gave us 300, those were the days, i feel sorry for the actors Miss Boutella not included who had suffer through this nonsense as we did , well at least they got payed , unlike the viewers ,who were expected to pay for it , Oh, we did with our sanity , why on earth would anyone want to put their family through this, I think none of them would be speaking to me by the end of it, oh and by the way Zack's surname is spelt Snyder not Synder .
