Oh, what an advanced net of deceit!
On We Are Who We Are Season 1 Episode 5, battle strains have been drawn between characters, whereas relationships imploded, and it was a banner hour of this HBO drama sequence.
We’ll begin with Maggie and Jenny as a result of their sexual encounter got here out of left subject.
They have been forming a bond on We Are Who We Are Season 1 Episode 3, nevertheless it appeared destined to be a platonic friendship.
Maggie’s physique language as they have been exhibiting the brand new recruits their digs actually hinted that they have been much more snug with one another than they have been letting individuals consider.
What struck me probably the most was the way in which they have been throughout one another within the grocery store. It suggests the connection is so robust that they do not care who sees them collectively.
Jenny, particularly, was reserved round Sarah and Maggie after they first arrived on the bottom, however we’re beginning to peel again the layers on her.
Caitlin: Here is her quantity. Ought to I name her?
Fraser: Do not you dare name that quantity.
We Are Who We Are is just not an exposition-heavy sequence, with viewers being left to place the items of the puzzle collectively, nevertheless it was good to listen to Jenny talk about her previous.
I do know she and Maggie have a connection, however the way in which they communicate suggests they aren’t planning on bailing on their households.
It looks as if a fling greater than something, and they’re each serving to one another.
Danny’s been a little bit of a wildcard as a result of he is been struggling to manage, however now that we all know Richard is just not his father, it is turning into clearer why he cannot discover his place on this planet.
The jealousy in the direction of Caitlin is as a result of Richard favors her over him, and it is painfully apparent.
Danny is at all times an afterthought, and if Richard promised to deal with him like one among his personal, then he is doing a horrible job of it.
Danny needs to know his organic father, which explains why he is on a fact-finding mission that ought to assist him uncover who he needs to be on this world.
Jenny lashing out at Richard over the therapy of Danny was a very long time coming. The second we realized he was not Danny’s organic father, it was evident why the household is so divided.
For Richard, there is just too a lot occurring. He is beginning to acknowledge that his daughter needs to determine as male, and I dare say he’ll heat to the concept earlier than lengthy.
Fraser serving to to chop Caitlin’s hair was a giant transfer, and one that would out her to everybody else. Perhaps this was Caitlin’s method of getting the phrase on the market with out making a giant deal out of it.
Dressing in dishevelled clothes with brief hair and the mustache helped her to really feel snug for the primary time. It was inevitable one thing would occur to break her happiness.
Giulia understanding the reality was a shock, however I am unsure whether or not Giulia likes the concept of Harper as male or feminine, which may trigger a possible relationship to implode earlier than lengthy.
Fraser’s apprehension about Harper’s actions have been proper. He was apprehensive his good friend was going into issues too quick and never interested by the implications of her actions.
Fraser can be jealous of how his mom goes out of her solution to assist Harper, however I do not assume he has any unwell will towards his good friend.
As a substitute, Fraser needs all the consideration on himself, as evidenced by the frequency of him lashing out at his mom.
He was annoyed when she danced with Jonathan, regardless of having little to no friendship with him. Fraser’s conduct is a trigger for concern.
It is evident he has a factor for Jonathan, and the journey to the cinema seemingly accelerated that additional. Jonathan has been laborious to learn, commonly trying down on Fraser.
However generally, away from everybody else, Jonathan really has conversations with him. They speak about books, authors, motion pictures, and the longer term.
Jonathan opening as much as Fraser about his previous was one thing you’d anticipate somebody to inform somebody they trusted.
The journey to the flicks helped to bond them, however I hope Fraser does not take it badly if it seems Jonathan is letting him into his life was as a good friend.
All the characters on We Are Who We Are are going by massive issues, and for probably the most half, the journey has been thrilling.
The sequence doesn’t depend on twists for shock worth, and for what is basically a teen drama, it’s working very nicely.
With three episodes within the miniseries left, it is going to be thrilling to see how the story continues to develop for everybody, and whether or not there might be any joyful endings.
That is all I acquired!
What did you consider Maggie and Jenny dishonest on their companions? Are you shocked Giulia knew the reality about Caitlin?
Is there a method for Danny to turn into near Richard? Are you uninterested in Fraser treating his mom like crap? How would you like the sequence to finish?
