The Worst period drama trope is when the revolutionary/radical socialist character “learns from their ways” and just…becomes a status quo lib. Or even worse: an actual member of the aristocracy
#makes me shudder#thinking specifically of:#tom branson#ada shelby#it’s so lame#when will writers learn that having a couple radical characters adds intrigue to their period dramas god dammit#like having tom still be a socialist in an aristocratic family? his hatred of the system in direct contrast to his love of the crawleys#would’ve added such a good moral dilemma#and same goes for ada who is a communist and at odds with her family because of this#it added so much good drama in the early seasons. like she literally named her son after karl marx lmao#and then they libified her. my girl I am so sorry#period dramas#downton abbey
