Of course there are obvious ones like Rupert or Edwin Akufo. But do you have a least favorite character out of all the good ones?

I know this is a very unpopular opinion but sometimes I find myself so annoyed with Keeley. Her character is almost too loveable and her style is just terrible (in my opinion), I am pretty sure I have worn some of her same outfits back in the 90s. Sometimes I just don’t like her.

    On Brendan Hunt’s AMA here after S3 he clarified that he didn’t think that Jane was abusive.

    I think he’s wrong.

      Ugh. He’s dead wrong. The lines about her breaking his stuff and stalking Keely and feeling threatened by Ted is her exhibiting abusive behavior. And it’s played for laughs.

        I was excited (in a dark way) because I was SURE they were going to address it in S3 and because it would have fit SO WELL into how the show handled men’s mental health – I have a male friend who was in an abusive marriage before I met him and the stories he’s told about people who didn’t believe him are horrifying, particularly the stuff that wasn’t physical abuse. Things like breaking his stuff, insisting on ALWAYS knowing where he was, insane jealousy – if Beard and Jane’s genders had been switched EVERYONE would have known it was an abusive relationship. Not just toxic – abusive. It would have been a great look into why people stay with and continue to love abusers, how abusers keep their victims in the relationship, all of it. Just a big swing and a miss.

      Oh he is absolutely wrong. Genuinely a terrible take. Makes me question anything he would say about the show tbh, just because he was a writer on the show doesn’t mean he has good judgment or that they are incapable of making mistakes. A lot of people forget that and put people like him on pedestals
