As a critique I think it was deeper than some people gave it credit for... But it wasn't really a critique so much as a confession, and all the "good parts" of that show had that unsettling feeling of not quite being fiction Same as when Polanski directed Death and the Maidenhttps://twitter.com/sleary/status/1363281137888464899 …

Death and the Maiden is the best movie about sexual abuse and gaslighting I will never see again because I can't unlearn the context of who made it

SAME. Though even before I realized it was a Polanski movie I don't think I could have watched it again bc it was so deeply disturbing. How can a predator seemingly be so insightful about the harm inflicted by another type of predator??? Aggressive compartmentalizing I guess.

I don't think it is that, I think it's the opposite I think he knew how bad the things he did were and he did them anyway, and he felt the urge to confess his sins in some way to the public while not being strong enough to accept the consequences

Oh interesting! In my experience this type of man tends to expend a lot of self-justifying energy walling off what they did from horrible things that other men do. The self-awareness would be too much for them.

In Polanski's case it's not incidental, the topic of sexual assault comes up over and over again in his work
