    They way Nick played Sean was so well layered. But that scene where her Mother has a breakdown, and he uses that to emotionally draw her back in was so raw and real. Even the way her Dad wouldn't stand up for her because he was the same way with her Mom. I knew as soon as Sean had to start working more hours again to keep her at home to himself, she would sink into the same routine, again, then taking her car away, and back to alcohol again. That cycle of abuse is so systemic and real in our society. The way her Mom kept going from Man to Man reminds me of my own mother as well as my mother-in-law. We need a better system to help women/people in general to get out.

      Alex works hard then self sabotages anything she has achieved by allowing the people around her to ruin it. The same thing would of happened once ahe attended school if she were to take her mother with her. She would not be able to complete a 4 year program while also taking care of her mother. Her mother needs to be on meds. There are programs but the problem is that her mom refuses to be in one and take her meds. So what do you do?

      This is why living in a DV relationship is never black and white and it's so hard for people to leave. You want to try and fix that person (if you love them) but only they can help themselves.

    • @karenflores4987
      @karenflores4987 Před 2 lety +70

      yeah both Alex and Sean come from abusive families. Alex didn't grew up with his father but had the burden of a mother who refused to take care of herself and on the other hand Sean who actually grew with an abusive father and emotionally unavailable mother. It messes up kids. But one thing to learn is that just because you understand why the abuser acts that way, you are not obligated to stay to help "fix him" at the expense of your own sanity and wellbeing.

    • @dreamyanon5151
      @dreamyanon5151 Před 2 lety +20

      @@karenflores4987 I think it's exactly this. I think the nuance of him being black and white felt risky to the narrative in some ways (maybe people feeling Alex wasn't really victimized) but essential to understanding these kind of relationships. He isn't evil and he is flawed but that doesn't change the harm he has done and the way he was treating her. You are not obligated to stay or be sympathetic because of it.
      I'm reminded of the last conversation she has with the dad where he says he didn't see abuse, he just saw a young couple struggling, and kept saying Sean needed her support when she responded "I can't worry about him right now, I need to take care of me!".

    This series is important for exposing what it is like to live around and with mental illness and cycles of abuse.
    As an abuse survivor, it triggered the hell out of me to where I had to stop watching at several points to recover before I could continue. The writing was on point, and the acting was very very good. What also stood out was how the series used recurrent flashbacks to show the main character starting to recover and process traumatic memories. The use of the dark images where the main character is sucked into the couch, and at the bottom of the dark well, were accurate depictions of the emotional experience of soul murder in a relationship with an abuser. Truly an amazing piece of work in so many respects.

This made me feel so empowered and so strong. Thank you for the best portrayal of the deep struggle. I never thought I would binge this series. I know so many other people said that. But I cried for you and for myself. I felt the emotion of standing on my own two feet in my own little way just to have life knock back down. The mental health, the addiction all of this was so relatable to my life and the people in it. Amazing performances from everyone!

    I remember watching "Maid" and thinking, "How did they find someone for the lead who looks so much like she could be Andie MacDowell's daughter?" Mystery solved!! They're both amazing in this, and it's a huge departure from Ms. MacDowell's typical roles. Also, I was binging "Maid" and "A Teacher" at the same time, and didn't recognize Mr. Robinson as "Eric" from "A Teacher". He brought a very different energy to these two demanding roles. Ms. Rose brought a wonderful complexity to her role as well. There were a lot of stellar performances in this show. I hope it gets its due recognition.

      Yes! That’s the whole truth about abuse, the victim is always lured back into the abusive relationship, because women are predominantly nurturers, we try to see the good & possibility of fixing things. This is what makes us stay in such relationships. It was so important to show that & the series did a great job in showing the hows & whys of abuse. That said, Sean needed all the help, just like Alex. He too came from broken abusive home, but then again, men get all the sympathy unlike women. 😅
