The good news is that the original series is finally available on Prime, and even though it was also cancelled before its story wrapped up, at least it’s a pretty good time. 

I was very annoyed they sent Hermine home, and honestly felt really bad for Laura! It’s like they sent her to the final just to watch her flounder and add some drama while the other two just made normal, presentable bakes. 

I really liked this episode, it had me on a real emotional roller coaster, I think because Naomie Harris is so good and the show did a good job of making us feel the emotional whiplash she was going through.

Totally. A lot of Helen’s decisions/actions seem pretty unbelievable if she’s actually just taking her kids on a maybe-spontaneous vacation, but I like that it becomes increasingly clear throughout the episode that that’s not the case.

I assumed that was the case back when I watched the trailer and saw Jude Law and Naomie Harris were starring in each half, but I don’t know if I would have guessed it if I hadn’t already gone in with that assumption. But yeah, already having that assumption, all those things in episode totally confirmed it for me.…

I caught about 8 hours of it live and was also completely sucked in. I didn’t even know it was a 12-hour stream until about an hour in, but at that point I was already committed. I can’t NOT watch Jude Law stand on a platform Survivor-style for 30 minutes.

I’m in the middle of a Justified rewatch and I’m on her season! I have nothing real to say, just that and her cat is cute and this whole thing is fun.

That’s true, although I still found some of their decisions questionable when they were still working with the source material. However, one of my biggest problems was that I felt like they were sacrificing character development in service of the plot, but that might actually be a strength for this series!

I’m trying not to be completely negative about this because I love the books and would love to see an adaptation, but I think the tone and the pacing of the books were so important to my experience reading them and I just don’t see David Benioff and D.B. Weiss doing a very good job of translating that to the screen.

Warlow?

Wow, this finale had me all over the place emotionally (in a good way). And your comment about it making us examine what we want from Bella and her healing process is so spot on and something I didn’t realize until I read this review (although I think the finale was still very effective without me explicitly making…

The disrespect. Harpo is a perfect boy. 

I can’t decide if that will make it easier or harder to recommend The Other Two to people. On the one hand the comedy central app is total trash, but on the other hand it’s free.

Yeah this episode hit me hard, I was basically crying from the Kwame hug onward. It’s good to see Arabella making progress in her healing and confronting her past, but at the same time it’s so painful!

Wow, Kwame continues to break my heart. I really hope he starts getting the support he needs!

Seriously, it’s a great display of how the process should go (RapeBusters) vs. how it so often does go.

I feel so much for Kwame. Especially since he’s seen Arabella go thru the process with competent investigators, to have the experience he did in the police station must be so invalidating. But also it's so powerful to see Kwame and Arabella asking questions about what happened to them. This show is so much. 

My favorite:

Wow, I was already in tears when she was asking Simon about the ATM. Michaela Coel is so good at communicating the state Arabella is in and everything she's feeling. 

She so has the range, acting and writing. I saw Black Earth Rising after already being a fan of Chewing Gum and her performance completely floored me. Now with her working with her own material in this I’m prepared to be, yeah, destroyed.
