Up until the last 2 minutes of the episode, I was about to kick this shyt to the curve, and it'd be crazy to quit on a show this late but I was close. Damn close.
The levels of white girl fantasy, lack of awareness about what gentrification actually is (white people moving to minority neighborhoods), narcissism, and white privilege had me in disbelief
First, the chances of a man leaving a woman who perfectly suits him (Adam and Jessa are both flawed in a lot of the same ways, and compliment eachother extremely well even though they're both batshyt crazy) for his ex who he literally hates deep down, evident by last seasons finale when he went into the rage about Hannah and why they didn't work, is small as hell. especially to raise another mans child just like that. Especially for a woman who doesn't look better and isn't better for him. It's just not going to happen realistically. No man would do that shyt. Like "Yeah, we never worked out, we slowed eachothers growth, we are pretty much totally incompatible and I'm at my most self destructive when we're together, but fukk it let me raise your child that you got from being irresponsible and reckless. What could go wrong? Ive Always hated how much you don't take accountability for your own actions, so let me help you do that one last time. Let me leave my entire life behind and a girl that I enjoy being around who looks better than you, encourages my dreams, has better sex, believes in me, motivates me, and at times can overlook her own life to help me figure out mine, Which is something you never did, for you .Let's be together!"
Secondly, if you go around Brooklyn. And I mean truly go around Brooklyn. And you ask people what's wrong? They'll tell you the arrival of Midwestern white kids who raise the rent have taken the character out of Brooklyn. That's the number one thing that people would say, not that other bullshyt. The lady in the butcher shop or whatever lightly brushed on it, but even she wasn't direct enough. White people and when I say white people I don't mean the white people (some immigrants) who are true Brooklynites, not them. There are white people who are natives to the borough who helped build it that fee the effects of gentrification in the same ways that blacks and Latinos do. But let's keep it 100, these white people who move to Brooklyn to "find themselves", open stores that sell organic mayonise and invite their friends, are the reason Brooklyn is the way it is now. Nothing else.
Third, There's very little consistency with the characters right now. Jessa has shown for 6 seasons that she's a sociopath who lacks empathy. And she's also very direct. Says what she feels, when she feels it for the most part. Especially Evident in the fight last season with Adam where she didn't hesitate to up to anger to a level to match is. Now all of a sudden, she's this passive aggressive girl who won't tell Adam she's angry that he's leaving her for Hannah, and not only that she's not all of a sudden the girl that gonna go take out her anger by fukking some random guy at a bar. Not for herself or for selfish reasons but because she's so hurt about what Adam did.
thank god they cleaned that shyt up in the last 5 minutes. I was about to throw up.
Good season so far. And I'll be watching the rest.
