There wasn't a big resolution to these arguments they had over political differences. There wasn't this resolution to like the way they would kind of talk bad about each other. They just decided that they were all happy to be at the table.

and that they were so happy to be with each other and they felt that the time they spent was significant because they've been through so much and they love each other. And I think that's a very real thing to think about friendships. I also think it's a very real thing that, like, you're going to have friends that sometimes make you feel anxious or make you feel...

jealous of something happening to them or maybe insecure about like a thing they have, a relationship they have. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think that's a human condition. We all look at things of other people and then use that to reflect upon ourselves. And what I hope is that sort of this, those three kind of like make you think about your own friendships differently.

Then we get to the Ratcliffe family. And Victoria is this personification of a superiority complex. She She is obsessed with wealth and status, even blatantly telling their kids that no one else here is good enough for them because of their wealth. And this develops this mindset in the children that they kind of don't really see anyone else as real people.

Like Saxon is very belittling to other women. Piper has this superiority complex herself, but feeling like she's more leftist and accepting than the rest of her family. And then Lachlan just becomes this people pleaser that doesn't know what to do because everybody's always fighting and he's trying to make it all okay.

And what's fascinating, when they are told that these other people aren't real people and belittling them and their mother is forcing that belief kind of upon them, it should be no surprise that they get a little incestuous. Yeah. Like, while very crazy and weird, it is meant to exemplify, I think, the way that wealthy people get very... not literally, but like incestuous with one another.

And this idea that like people have a certain wealth and class or whatever, like they're not dating down. And this idea to date somebody who didn't go to this university or hire somebody out of this job that didn't go to Harvard or Princeton, like there has built, there's this like incestuous network of these very, wealthy and privileged people.

And I think that that is kind of what the sort of like Saxon Lachlan thing is meant to represent. Victoria's monologue at the end is absolutely flawless because it's so perfectly encapsulates the way wealthy, out of touch, entitled people cope with knowing that they are part of a rigged system that is built like rigged in their favor.
