Caught the Tuttle family reference too. It's an impressive show on a few different levels, but the script is a little jarring sometimes. I get it's not pseudo intellectual Nieczche, but it seems a little off, lurching between kind of like progressive Twitter spaces, and small town gritty. Lot of exposition in that scene with the older woman and Reiss. Jodie Foster character saying "haters" in the first one, sounded a little off.
And I can see how it will probably introduce too many themes and subplots to close out, we have mining, activism, indiengenous vs white, gay relationships, teen sex, small town corruption, mental health. all the science shyt. The Tuttle crime family. Murdered and tortured women. Murdered researchers. Vast influential families. Small town tensions. Grief.
Not sure if I want to expand, but regarding the sex scenes, I can see the larger theme expressed, not only is it telling about their characters, as in who they are-- but just like the Foster one in this episode, they also are a kind of inverse from the first season, and most sex scenes, led by women, who aren't necessarily any different from the men, in putting their needs first and kind of controlling or dominating, which I am not sure is any better, but I'm ok with it.
