Huh.
Well, I’ll need a day or two before I can properly comment but the writers of the TV show did something extremely clever (and stomach churning) with Serena. In the novel she’s not given too much backstory outside of being a former TV evangelist but the TV show went in a whole other direction–they cast her in the mold of Ann Colter and Tomi Lahren and that ilk. It was effective and this was maybe the hardest episode to watch because it was all too *real*
I don’t want to have pity for Serena and fresh off of watching this episode I might hate her more than the Commander but still there’s some part of me that felt bad for her in certain moments. Complicated emotions.
I’ll try to post more properly soon!
