#also his son is assaulting a minor lol bye'

[vicsuragi]

okay i finally watched an episode from the correct season of ordinary lies and i am so fucking confused that was such a 90 degree turn they took in the last 10 minutes.

#unfortunately i think this show might just suck #i might go back and watch joel's episode before my britbox free trial runs out but dear god. dear fucking god what was that #anyways con's episode was so fucky #i thought the head injury would play more into the episode and it would be revealed that he was having delusions or something #related to his head injury and once they learned about the cameras he set up they would confront him and reveal to the audience #that he wasn't an reliable narrator idk something like that #i think that would have tracked a little bit better instead of suddenly throwing 'btw his daughter was assaulted #and the perpetrator didn't face any consequences so now his wife hunts down predators in a little vigilante group #also his son is assaulting a minor lol bye' #and it ends on him telling another dad joke to his coworkers like they didn't just drop this massive story beat 9 minutes ago #it's extremely lazy and insensitive to just dump csa into the plot of this episode when it has only been about a man's worsening paranoia #after he installs security cameras in his home under the pretense that he believes his wife is cheating #also the cameras were made to look like smoke detectors and it appears that he replaced every smoke detector in the house with cameras #which i also thought would play more largely into the plot. like for instance. the house burns down or his family is caught in a house fire #bc he uninstalled their fucking smoke detectors #really what the fuck was this #i love trauma i love when multiple characters have suffered from a single event but dear god this was handled so shittily #it just inspires me to write better trauma that actually connects to the themes and plot of the story #and not just pull some horrific trauma out of my ass for the sake of a climactic plot twist
