  • I’ve never managed to watch the whole series. There’s great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don’t enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.

    If I had to describe the sensation it would be “extreme toe-curling cringe”.





  • I listened to a podcast about his life & times, some of the sources they used included his love letters which added a whole other dimension to his character. You have this immensely powerful and gifted military leader, feared across Europe, writing to a 19 year old he just met at a party about how he’s just going to die of sadness if she doesn’t write back to him immediately.
