A second season is a must! I could praise so many things about this show, but I really just want to say we need a second season. Make Jane Austen proud!
I'm not understanding the high praise for this movie. I'm a fan of many gangster and Scorsese films, but this one falls flat for me. The acting is great. That's not in question, but the storyline goes no where. I was bored. I feel bad for saying that because it's De Niro and Scorsese, but it's the truth.
I appreciated that this film really was more about Hope and her feelings and struggle than about Ruth, the person who committed suicide. Having tried to commit suicide before, I can say it's the most selfish act a person can do. What the person leaves behind is destruction and disaster for others to clean up and live with. The torment these people leave behind is unmeasurable.
It's really supposed to be about Hope. Not Ruth. We see Hope's struggle to understand her sister's suicide, her fear the imperfect DNA will affect her children, and even her break her 17 year sober streak dealing with this. I don't see why others weren't aware of this and are supposed if this. I'm even more surprised they want something different. Ruth is dead. While sad, it seems she had more help than most do. What's the real tragedy here, and deserves attention, is the destruction Ruth left behind in her suicide. A sister's lifetime of guilt, fear, and worry. Friends left with anger, sadness and unanswered questions. Nieces and nephews who will grow up wondering if anything is wrong with them. I found it raw, emotional and at times tough to watch what happens to a sibling when the other kills themselves.
