  • The empress of the universe

    Episode 2 is named "Bête Noire" - that means a person or thing that you dislike very much or that annoys you. A very accurate title for the story about Maria (Siena Kelly) and Verity (Rosy McEwen) that takes place over a period of 5 working days. The main setting is the office of a food company and you get to know the background of the acquaintance of the two main characters. Maria is a miss know it all and does not approve of her new colleague Verity who seems to be well liked by their colleagues. Ironically, the character is named Verity and soon enough you will find out the truth about what happened in the past. Things quickly escalate and culminate in a b*tch fight.

    As a viewer you can decide which side you want to take and who is the bully/villain and who is the victim.

    If you like dystopian, more realistic story lines, then this episode might not be of your taste since it's more a fantasy story.

    What I find striking is the short scenes/transitions with compelling organ music. In addition, the intentional use of the colors of the clothes of Maria and Verity might give a hint that Verity tries to mimic Maria.

    What is the morale of the story: bullying leaves deep emotional scars that never heal.

    Personally, I felt entertained and despite some violence it was definitely more fun to watch than prior episode 1 "Common People".
