s01e02 — Episode 2

Every time I hear 'Hide and Seek', an avalanche of memories of The O.C. hits me and my brain refuses to perceive it any other way.

It's very atmospheric and the sex scenes turn out to be very intimate and beautiful.

I felt offended with her. After all, she's in love and it's sad that the guy is embarrassed to protect her.

And yet their relationship is strange... There seems to be sympathy and attraction, but the fact that in public they behave like strangers is such a guarantee of success. It would be nice if Connell's friends didn't make fun of Marianne. After all, she is probably more offended in this whole situation not by what these friends are saying, but by the fact that Connell does not stop their actions. He doesn't seem to realize what he should have done in this and other similar situations. In general, I don't know what good they can do in the end with such a start.

How difficult can a relationship between a girl and a guy be ?
I wonder which will be stronger: love or public opinion?

The bed scenes are so beautifully shot, I'm even a little surprised
And it's a shame for Marianne, and Connell isn't even trying to do anything.

What kind of love is everyone writing about? They barely know each other (as individuals), the whole development of the characters' relationship lies in sex positions. The screenwriters did not bother and limited themselves to a dialogue about how Marianne would like to "watch him have sex with another." You can close your eyes to the fact that the guy does not protect her at school - everything is logical here, their affair is a secret. But when he openly says that he will miss their sex, Marianne kisses him and offers to go to him. So the girl doesn't care that she's being used? Where are the feelings here, excuse me? Some kind of caricature.

An excellent series on the details: the taxi in the reflection on which Marianne arrived at the beginning and the dialogue at the end of the series was shot simply bombically! In the close-up of Connell, the camera sways a little bit, holding a clear plan of the back of the house, this emphasizes his firmness and a real lack of understanding of his feelings. Close-up on Marianne: the camera is unstable, wobbly, the background is blurred, as if in a fog, Marianne is on the verge of an emotional explosion inside. The camerawork here is just bravo!

Get the children away from the screens ☺️

Some kind of abnormal relationship. He does not want to tell anyone that they are dating, does not protect her from the attacks of others, but apparently everything suits her, since she forgives him for such an attitude towards herself.

finally, at least somewhere adequately showed scenes of respectful safe teenage sex by mutual desire, which begins with foreplay and during which it is pleasant not only for the guy, but also for the girl. a big plus for the series for this!

50 shades of grey on minimals

The fact that Connell did not stand up for Maryann is certainly unpleasant. But he also didn't stand up for his mom when his friend mocked her. That his mother works as a cleaner and is called by a bell. It seems that he can't say anything against his friends at all...

How annoying Alan is, Marianne's brother!

the picture is beautiful, the plot leaves much to be desired

Is that true?! He just sat there and listened to his friends throw mud at her. So far, I have not got into the Main Character at all. But Marianne's character is very interesting.

Very tender and intimate sex scenes.
In general, it's a pity that we have such a relationship.

— You don't express your opinion at all.
— You just have an opinion about everything.
"But you have to know how you feel."
- no. Actually, I have a problem with that. Sometimes I look back and... think about how I felt back then, but... I have no idea how I feel.
"Then how do you know what you want?"
— I don't understand. Most of the time I do not know what I want.

— I think you're very beautiful, by the way.
— Stop it.

It's too aesthetically pleasing to be true...

Scriptwriters would like to learn from Turkish TV series how to describe relationships without words and sex..

I don't really understand how you can not stand up for your girlfriend, and then ask if everything is okay

"I can go back to something in my memory and understand what I felt then, but when it happens, I have no idea.." - damn, it's such a life, just exactly.

I really wanted him to punch him when he called her a "scary and flat bitch," but that would be so formulaic.

I realized who the actress reminds me of: A mix of Anne Hathaway and the Nymphomaniac actress (I don't know her name)

Did I catch a cringe with Anastasia Steele when she was chewing on a pencil and strangely smacking her lip, so here

It's a little boring so far

Oh... How familiar it is to me.
During my school years, when I met my first love, we also hid our relationship for about six months. Why and why? I still can't explain it to myself.
Except I was kind of cool, and the guy was quiet and calm.
Apparently, happiness loved silence, in our case.

Ugh, I'm too old for so many bed scenes in 30 minutes of the episode

I was looking for this comment, because it seems to me that everyone has already forgotten what kind of teenagers they were

I'm stuck on the visual of the series, its atmosphere and musical design. I really like it. The bed scenes are shot sensually and aesthetically. I was pleased with their awareness, in the sense that they noted the moment about protection. And I was also pleased with the guy's care for the girl and the fact that he calmed her down before the first time. In reality, unfortunately, it's not going so well, for the most part.

To the soundtrack, I immediately stuck two favorite songs "Hide and Seek" from Imogen Hip, which has been etched into my memory since the days of the OC and Elliot Smith's "Angeles", which I remember from "Supernatural" (Jensen Ackles covered it). The series practically put me in a trance state.

Regarding the plot, the whole situation with friends and the fact that Marianne was called names is unpleasant. But it's understandable why Connell didn't stand up. First, they agreed that their relationship would be a secret. Secondly, he himself has not yet realized how he feels about her. There is no love as such yet, there is a fascination with each other. They only get to know each other. But the end of the series outlined the first difficulty in their relationship. They clearly want the same thing, but due to inexperience in the relationship, they do not know how to convey their thoughts to each other. And this is quite natural for teenagers. So, the first misunderstandings have already started. We look further, while we like everything.

What a nasty brother Marianne has

Boredom (
Is it the same further, or does it make sense to look further?

I really like. I haven't read the book, but the storytelling in the series is very cool.

The characters are very emotionally closed, so it's hard for them to admit feelings for each other, they scare them very much, and both convince themselves that everything that happens between them is sex, and both pretend that everything suits everyone. But in fact, it is such a rarity when there is a harmonious connection, both mental and chemical, when people are attracted to each other and they just feel good next to each other. It is a pity that due to mental trauma it is difficult to express what you really feel, appreciate these feelings and defend, if necessary, in front of other people

Babies, stop feeling sorry for her. Oh, she was insulted, oh, he didn't stand up for her!
She demands it herself, she just screams about such an attitude towards her. She thinks they're fools, but she doesn't keep silent — which would be smarter, but spits bile. She doesn't know any other way to attract attention.
Everyone gets what they deserve.

He had to protect her and not let his friends say nasty things about her.

It's beautiful, but it's still very long.
Gg looks like Anne Hathaway very much 😍

I liked the book extremely. I decided to watch the 2020 TV series. Rooney is an Irish writer, and the film was shot in Ireland. It is a rare occurrence that the film did not spoil the book. Moreover, he brought an emotional coloring to the generally ascetic text.

I was somehow confused by the rapid development of the relationship
