Guys if you've ever given a shit about any of the insane problematic women I've blogged about before then you will watch Bodkin on netflix rn

It's a convoluted murder mystery set in a fictional town in bum-fuck nowhere Ireland and while I would hardly call it prestige television, I would argue that it's good television, especially in the character writing even if the plot gets kind of silly at times but none of that matters now BC I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTER FOR A MINUTE HOLY SHIT SHE'S INSANE Her names Dove and she's the world's most unethical journalist haunted by the sins of her past with terrible interpersonal skills and a bad personality and I love her so much

She wears sunglasses at night. She relentlessly mocks and bullies her coworkers bc she's determined to never get close to anyone ever again and can only ask them for help when literally reduced to a non-lucid sobbing puddle during a drug trip where she relives her convent trauma. She constantly commits misdemeanor crimes in the name of journalism which is both incredibly noble from one angle and incredibly destructive and inconsiderate from literally every other bc of how hard she goes with it. She stole an electric scooter and spends the entire episode riding around a rural Irish village investigating things. On the scooter. She fucking hates nuns soooooo much. She desperately wants connection. She will blow up every relationship she's ever had, using them for work reasons until they genuinely can't stand her anymore, "for the story". She's like Lois Lane on crack. Like Batman but a woman. She's even gay

Go watch Bodkin and take into your hearts the gospel of Dubheasa 'Dove' Maloney.

NOW!
