This show is a f*cking great
I finally watched the whole episodes on Showtime Go.
Gonna speak on Episode 9.
Noah's part of the story does play like mid-life crisis. In other words, he's kind of a jerk. Alison's part is much more relatable. She comes across as genuinely torn about her feelings for both men, her child's death, and what she's doing with her life. On the other hand, super-double ick for sleeping with Oscar.
I guess I was supposed to feel bad for Alison in her version of events, especially after her breakdown about her son,but I didn't. Not at all. Not even a little bit.
Was it a low blow for Cherry to bring up that whole thing about Gabriel and how she told Alison that something was wrong with him, but Alison refused to listen, therefore implying that Alison was the reason he died? Sure. Absolutely.
But Alison got as good as she gave in my opinion. She went there because she was pissed that she wasn't going to be getting a big payoff in her half of Cole's share of whatever the ranch sold for. She was pissed that she wasn't going to have the anticipated funds to go live out her fantasies with Noah. So she wanted to throw in Cherry's face that she knew and was going to tell her sons and hurt her like she was hurting at the moment. She tried to spin it that oh, the boys were making plans and she needed to tell them, but if that was her true concern, she would have went to Cole first. Was she even going to tell him if he hadn't shown up when she was packing to leave? Sure didn't seem that way.
