  • No, he is not a good father.

    1. Your entire post is about what he wants for his daughter, not about what she wants. She’s an adult woman, not his property. Saying things like “let” her use his power, “let” her be owned, etc. indicates a mindset of control and undermining her autonomy.
    2. Look at his impact on her, not his intentions.

    Caring about his daughter is not the same as being a good father, and enabling his behavior is not the same as being a good wife. But both of her parents have shown small indications that they can evolve.

    ETA: Not sure why you replied four times to my comment, but I’m talking about his actions right now. I’m not talking about the past.













  • Oh, I completely forgot that I also watched this (“years and years” ago) until I read the plot description. I enjoyed it quite a bit as well, but it seems to really make an effort to portray things going from bad to worse as quickly as possible. I think the intent was to shock complacent viewers into thinking critically about how politics and technology could impact their daily lives in the near future.

    I expect if it was recommended to you it was because Donald Trump won re-election, as he did on the show (albeit non-consecutively), and Russia won the war in Ukraine. I think it goes a bit “broad” with its predictions after that (particularly around technology), but still interesting to watch and ponder.
