I’ve been re-watching the series recently - I genuinely forgot how much I loved it! But I just want to bring up Hils. Anyone feel like she was a seriously underrated character, or is it just me? I mean, all the girls in this show are fantastic at breaking female stereotypes! Bella is my personal favourite due to her sassy, sarcastic manner and well - she’s a freaking badass too! However, I do also love Renata, Maggie, Lily and Olalla. To begin with, Lily just got on my nerves so much, she’s like a door, always up in Robert’s face like, “Let me in Robert! No more secrets between us!”, then shutting him out when convenient (Although, their romance is beautiful). But after her big reveal at the end of the series, my respect for Lily as a character grew. Olalla also seems quite popular too and I do adore the curly haired staring contests between her and Jekyll.
Hils, however, is so underrated! Granted, her voice may get just a tad irritating but I just love the chemistry between her and Max (as colleagues). I especially like how she just seems to have this classy sort of air to her, as well as being so goddamn hilarious! She makes me laugh so hard when she’s driving 😂😂 (she’s pretty handy with a gun too!).
It’s such a shame that we didn’t get more of a chance to explore her character. She like many of the others had so much potential for development, which we would have seen more of in seasons 2 and 3, if ITV hadn’t cancelled it.
