Alex Drake and Sam Tyler are opposites in several ways, but I think the one that’s the saddest to me is that Sam Tyler fought so hard at every second and every interval to get home and then woke up to find that there was literally nothing left for him, meanwhile Alex is the one who actually has a life waiting for her and reasons to go home but she consistently forgets that she has to fight until it almost costs her everything.

Like there’s nothing sadder than Sam Tyler clinging so viciously to every shred of the real world, only to realise that it doesn’t have a place for him meanwhile Alex Drake is on the floor trying her best to remember her daughter’s name because she’s been so caught up in 1981 that she’s forgotten how much the people in 2008 love her.

I swear to god I am a MESS.

"He's so me"

I say about the most depressed, repressed and stressed bastard ever.

one of the reasons i love alex is that she's allowed to be angry. and she's allowed to fucking weird and mean and she's allowed to scream and be unhinged and she doesn't care! she says whatever she wants whenever she wants! she takes the piss! and she's also allowed to be so fucking annoying!!!! she's the blueprint for how you can write female characters in a male dominated narrative (though she is the main character) and the men around her frankly do Not Get It. but she's still respected by the SHOW and the narrative. she's respected by the writers. so that means when the men around her are confused by her, we as the viewers are not and we are never alienated from her. keeley hawes is so vibrant and electric when you watch this show. god.
