#it honestly feels like the writer deliberately set out to do this crazy tonal rug pull because wow

I watched the first four episodes of 'The Buccaneers' and, granted I'm sick right now so I'm probably cutting it a lot of slack, but I hated the first episode, skipped through the second one, but by the third episode I was hooked. It has this tacky Bridgerton-esque exterior, is as bizarre and inaccurate as hell, but it gets SO DARK and I love that. The main character's mother puts doves in golden cages for a ball... and that's it, that's 'The Buccaneers', doves in fucking cages.

It's like the modern music and wild inaccuracies are whispering: "Come closer, child, yes... look at the modern aesthetics, that's right, you want to marry an English lord, do you? So romantic, ahahaha. Yes? Let me teach you about helplessness, let me show you some power dynamics... let's start with a fairytale and then set it on fire."

#the buccaneers #apple tv #i think i'll read the book but after i finish the show #it honestly feels like the writer deliberately set out to do this crazy tonal rug pull because wow #with bridgerton i was like “well this is fun” and then grew to hate it #with the buccaneers i was like “well this is shit” but then it grew on me
