soooo I binged the Devil in Ohio and now I’m just mad
- make the origin story of an evil cult two persecuted fleeing from genocide Irish Jews? Check.
- that same group of Irish immigrants also somehow retained Gaeilge as their language despite not a single Irish American immigrant doing so? For added pagan feeling spooks? Check.
- the pronounciation of Diabhail. It’s just. Divil. Divilment, being a divil. That’s how you say it. Check I guess.
- the innocent wife of Seamus (Americans I’m begging you pick a different Irish name there are more than that one and ones that I actually hear when I walk around! You’ll hear Paddy more than Seamus I swear to you). being called MARY. Seamus means JOSEPH. This was a not so subtle hint that Mary and “Seamus” represent Catholicism. Meaning they only worshipped Yahweh so that you knew that Caleb, the Jewish named one, was Jewish. (I’m abandoning the check system leave me alone)
- they wanted Irish catholics as the persecuted innocents w/o having them have a made up blood association w/ the evil Jewish cult leader. The irish Jews didn’t wipe out Irish catholics in a manufactured famine!!! It was British Protestants!!!
- the poor abused cult escapee being reframed as a villain because she, lemme check real quick… risked her own life returning to a cult with the barest of hopes that someone care enough to come save her????
- Jules’ friend being mad he isn’t the centre of Jules’ attention
- Jules’ being mad that the girl who clearly adores her is… traumatised and being given affection by her peers for it
- the lesbian sister saying “she’s working mom” when all she did was, let’s remember, own up to releasing a photo of herself to help Jules
- the dad being a prick
- the PARENTS abandoning their TWELVE YEAR OLD and her nearly dying and them both agreeing it was Mae’s fault?????
- the hint that this is a supernatural show. And then being like SIKE
Am I supposed to turn on a teenage victim??? Am I meant to take the side of petty irritating people??? Like what??
