“The Best Sister”, 4 other TV programs facing poisonous masculinity

They have harmed people in sudden seizures of anger and calculated attacks. You are smiling, threatened, lied and seduced.

Now, they began to face the consequences.

After years of showing poisonous male behavior on the screen, this TV season witnessed many men who behave badly – well, at least from the two imaginations – receiving revenge. “You” ends with Netflix with the Penn Badgley Joe Badgley behind the bars. During the last season of the movie “The Hanmaid’s Tale”, Nick Blin (Max Mingle) and Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Witford) realizes the fundamentalist USA repetition staff known as Gilead, that persecution based on the beliefs of religion may not be a good idea. The “Black Mirror” episode showed the USS Callister: in Linfinity “how deep the toxicity of offensive families. After four episodes of “adolescence” from Netflix, the teenager -face killer Jimmy Miller (Owen Cooper) finally recognizes.

“Handmaid’s”, which is the 2017 Emmy Winner series that many saw it as an encrypted message about President Trump’s first state, is a strong example of this transformation.

“There is nothing like a good leader,” says Yaesen Zhang, who works with Eric Tosman at this season. “If you are a leader in Gilead, you are by defining this toxic power that you need to connect from top to bottom.”

In a world in which the powerful act is increasingly without punishment, taking fictional bad guys to the task is logical, a form of fulfillment of Hollywood wishes for those who feel stumbling or despair. Programs such as “Better Sister” are enhanced by Prime Video and Apple TV+”bad sisters” in the conversation by showing the domino effect on male toxicity on others.

The first season of the dark comedy of the Single and the star Sharon Horgan “Bad Sissters” revolves around a family of women who hate their emotional and physical husband almost as much as they want to save him from him. In the second season, which was first offered last November, the sisters learn that there is more than just removing it from the situation.

“Something I was really attracted to write about is that in the end, they did not save her,” says Horgan about the grace that Mary Duff was exposed. Instead, with years of shock to work through it, she retracts to herself – exactly the result that her sisters hope to prevent her.

“She could not reach her sisters, who were her heroes, who knew, in depths, to do everything for her,” says Horgan. “But she could not save herself completely. On the structural standpoint, he gave us this trip to them.”

With the “Best Sister”, creators Olivia Milch and Rijina Corrado look at all affected people from Adam Corrie Stol, a pair and father only in the eyes of the audience. This is not only about the abuse he attaches to his wife, Chloe (Jessica Bell), a media figure known for her feminist intelligence. Adam’s mockery also includes the teenager Ethan (Maxwell Asey Donovan).

“Ethan in this intersection between childhood and adulthood, and he has this innocence, as well as this somewhat complicated understanding of adult relationships because he was witnessing this tension revealed with his parents.”

Like a lot of teenagers, Ethan seeks to steer in Manusvir online, where he descends into a rabbit hole of hate comments for women about the stepmother. Ethan can easily name Chloe hypocritical in these forums or at home. Instead, other users excite it.

“We wanted to talk about how there was a healthy aspect for him … that he needed to take it out … and that this was something that was distorted for him,” Corado added.

On the contrary, the British “Teen” chain turns into the ways that the Internet can push children in the wrong direction. But co -author Jack Thorn confirms that the collaborator Stephen Graham, who plays the role of Jimmy’s father, does not want this to be the only factor.

“I know that when I was 13 years old, if I read or said,” 80 % of women are attracted to 20 % of men ” – the talk point for common women online -” I said, “Yes, I think so,” says Thorne, who is in his forties.

He adds that he would also act on the idea that “your job is to make yourself attractive; your job is to be yourself. Your job is to learn how to treat the situation.”

Thorne says that Graham and director Philip Barantini were not only interested in the younger men: “We wanted to examine ourselves in this matter a little.”

“We are three men, and the same age,” explains Thorne. “We have had a different life, but we all have shown cruelty. We all acted in ways that were less than perfection. We all have a relationship with our disgrace.”

The reason that “you” worked for five seasons is that the Padgley chased obsessed with love has charisma to Gaslight himself and others in believing that he is a good man. It is unable to self -examine.

Michael Foley says, “It is a feminist,” noting that Joe Badgley sees himself as lover, not a killer-and if he is a lover, he will kill anyone who prevents him from the issue of his fragmentation.

“You” was first shown in 2018. Justin Lu, the co -candidate, says that if he was first offered now, “Joe had started a lot.”

“Smoothness will be more apologize, more front and medium,” Lu continues. “Sumaya Jonah began in a more buried, more secretly buried way, and with the progress of the series and our culture, it became more clear.”

In fact, Joe’s last words for his viewers are that he does not blame his actions. You – to watch.
