In the fragmented time with the baby, I finally finished watching the morning news of the first season. As many people have said, the last two episodes are the highlight of the whole season. Every one of us could be.
If you're as ambitious as Hannah, you're so passionate about your career that you ignore your friendships. Alone in an unfamiliar city, only work can give you energy. Under such circumstances, a boss who everyone admires and is very amiable and friendly to you invites you to have a heart-to-heart talk, appreciates your work, and invites you to watch a movie in his room on a business night. You think that your abilities are appreciated, or that you are fortunate enough to meet "confidants" and "friends" in the workplace. Who knew that everything happened so fast, and faced with a boss with unequal power and status, he didn't know how to refuse. You feel remorse, astonishment, hate your naivety, and finally get out of anger and report to your boss. Unexpectedly, he got the coveted promotion opportunity in exchange for your peace of mind. What kind of practice is this? Your being violated has become a weight on one side of the deal, while the other side is announcing to the world that the reason why you can be promoted is not because of your outstanding ability, but because of unspoken rules. Hannah chose to accept it, and Mitch took it for granted as one of many fair, mutually agreeable deals.
Mitch is the cash cow of the entire show, a big star, approachable and amiable to his subordinates. After being reported, I still feel like a victim of the #MeToo movement. Even when I was watching the first few episodes, I was wondering if he was really "wrongly wronged", and these deals were really all about getting what they needed and not being forced. However, in the workplace, due to the inequality of power status, women will be somewhat surprised by being "flattered" and "appreciated" at the beginning of being contacted, and this kind of surprise makes it even more difficult to refuse later. Until Hannah went to Mitch, Mitch said that you were just a junior employee and I was the host of the show. You wouldn't really think I approached you because you were special and needed a new best friend? How naked and realistic! The face of a man who abused his power to play with women immediately came alive. This is the truth.
When UBA offered Hannah a new position again in hopes of closing it, she made a late-night call in the alley saying she was willing to take it. She thought that she was strong enough to not care about worldly vision, and that she could accept her use of a person with a higher body, but who knows that this has accelerated her self-destruction. Using career promotion as compensation for sexual assault is the most terrifying kidnapping of women. Not only does this turn your misfortune into a bargaining chip, it also negates the possibility that you can make progress based on your true abilities. It seems to have been compensated, but the soul has been nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
My favorite is the unfinished details at the end of the whole show. Is it true that what Alex said is outside the intelligence? She keeps saying that Mitch is her best friend, a seemingly even business partner, but she's also secretly afraid of him. This paragraph seems to be true and false, and people can't help but think of how many unfair treatment she has suffered in the past ten years. In the end, Alex and Bradley broadcast the truth on the show, and the camera cut to Allison's face, with tears in her eyes and a forbidding expression. Is she also a victim of this, but she never spoke out because she cared too much about her career? And in the whole program, how many women like this have to accept the so-called reward and choose to swallow it up, and accept that everything they get is because they sold their bodies. . . Looking forward to the direction of Mitch's character in season 2, and looking forward to seeing more of his role transition after learning of Hannah's death.
