so i just finished the very dark, brutishly grim, somehow darkly funny and weirdly gorgeous rain dogs (bbc/hbo) in one sitting......... im not well. ive been held hostage by fucked-up, toxic, codependent platonic soulmates, costello and selby, terribly attempting to coparent costello's 10y/o daughter within their makeshift dysfunctional little family, whom they love more than anything, for four brutal hours as they struggle to navigate class and poverty and perverts, mental health wards and trauma and sobriety and the awful world around them and the system that's failing them <3

#don't be fooled by this scene. it took hell on earth to get here #daisy may cooper is a staaaaar #rain dogs #rain dogs bbc #rain dogs hbo #daisy may cooper #jack farthing #it had like elements of fleabag's grief and grotesque moments? and killing eve's dark grim humour #but through a very working class brit lense #like it's abt london away from tourist and overseas' eyes where a tory government has failed its wc population.#and the desperate lengths people have to go to to stay alive #so trigger warnings galore but im so glad i watched this on a whim. whew.#also kind of wanted just a couple of flashbacks to how costello and selby met at uni and how that friendship started. oof!
