since yesterday, my dad asked me to show him ep 9 & 10 regardless bc he wants to see this show till the end. i had given him ample warnings but still, at the end a new genre of television was invented: a show that makes my dad sit on the couch deep in thought then take a quick walk in the garden on a late December night.
he also asked me what the moral of all this was at the end and my first answer was "don't go to the arctic". the 2nd was a better one about the show's themes and motifs and how character-driven it is, and i talked to him about how the cast had a great time, actually and he said "i find that very hard to believe, but that probably just shows how good actors these people are"
#the terror#actually me and my dad are quite similar but despite all the mannerisms and traits we express ourselves differently#so i wonder what effect this show will have on him. i myself am planning 20 different fanworks at once#but also i might write a separate post one day that this show is one way for me to express a very personal grief#in an odd and convoluded way but it does help w the grieving experience about my own self#it's a long story about healing and lingering trauma and actively feeling a part of me fade away for hopefully better or for smth different#this kind of very personal grief is years old now and i'm doing well but so far nothing had such a profound effect on me actually#coming to terms w it than a show abt sad wet british men stranded in the arctic
