I think what I really love about OFMD is that David Jenkins and his team make viewers trust them. Don’t worry, we got this; we have your back. It’s not empty promises—the way they delivered S1 makes you trust them. That’s also the reason I don’t get sick of restarting episode 1 after the credits start rolling at the end of episode 10: ultimately, it’s a happy show and it makes me, the viewer, happy. There’s no will-they-won’t-they, no shipping wars, no queerbaiting. There’s no uncertainty. Sure, the season doesn’t end on a happy note but I was satisfied with it. More importantly, I have no doubts that the lovers will find their way back to each other. Even if I don’t know how we’ll get from point A to point Ed. The how is their pull, not the what. I’m not concerned with what happens in the end (because I know it’ll be Ed and Stede happy together), I’m just here to enjoy the ride. And my god am I enjoying it.
