I'm working my way through this Netflix series, not sure what I think about it. Great production values, and the ice maiden matriarch seems like DL icon material. Also love the villain (kind of reminds me of Bosch's first season nemesis).
However, I can't stand the character of Marcella herself, and the gay guys in the story are pretty stereotypical, even if the one with the beard is very hot.
Thoughts anyone?

You're right: she's an insufferable cunt!

What is so "stereotypical" about the gays, OP?
| by Anonymous | reply 5 | September 23, 2016 4:54 PM |
Mostly their looks, and they seem a bit fem to me.

Does this have anything to do with Raggedy Ann?

R6 It's spelled "femme," twattina. And I didn't think the German guy was at all femme.

Her estranged husband on the show is so hot and he has a great ass!

OP, most gays are stereotypes so it's pretty true to life in that respect.

"Femme" is the lesbian opposite of butch. I hadn't realized the bearded guy was German; he was okay

I stopped watching. Yes, it looks great but it had two strikes against it: It was horrifyingly violent (and I thought I was inured to TV violence) and the main character's an asshole. Fuck it.
I rewatched Happy Valley and recommend that.

Indeed it can be violent. At one point we see her husband being beaten up; I thought he would die, but he ends up just bruised, telling Marcella he hired guys to do it "so I could 'feel' something." Not sure I believe him, we'll see.

R8: "Fem" is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation of "feminine."

There is something to be said for diversity in casting: all the young white guys looked alike. Same age, same colouring, same haircut, I couldn't tell one from the other and became very confused. And you are right. The husband is great looking. And because he is black, instantly recognizable in a cast of mostly unknown actors.

For some people, r14, everything is "perfectly acceptable." Others prefer to get it right.

There's to be a second season apparently - oh joy!
With one episode left to go, I pronounce our heroine a hot mess. That hunky coworker who's making moves on her may life to regret it.

The actress had a lot of work done on her face; in HD TV it becomes a distraction.
I gave up after one episode and I can't even remember why.

I watched it quite a while ago. Enjoyed it a lot.
Nice to see Apollo from BSG back in action. Hottie.

I liked the first two seasons, the third season.... just nope. Very badly written, and just not believable.
| by Anonymous | reply 24 | July 7, 2020 3:43 PM |
Agree with R24, the third season was dreadful. It was quite dark, even more than the first two series.
