NBD - I must confess this to my shame: yess I have watched most of this - but have hated every minute of it and will not watch repeats. Maybe I am a waddoyocallit 'masochist' - the reality is those people do exist, including the down-trodden male - it's pathetic! Wouldn't watch it twice, except by chance -
I am not sure what the response is in the 'watcher'?
Is it a kind of voyeur-like sado-masochist 'bad' feeling and thoughts of: 1) yes, I have been there in reality, as a victim and I didn't like it 2) hopefully there is some come-uppance for this blown-up narcissistic egotist and social climber 3) when it does happen (the come-uppance) one is again confronted with the inner conflict of: 4) do I laugh/enjoy it when someone is given the appropriate ridicule/punishment etc.?
what sort of human does that make me, enjoying this - admittedly fictitious story of mishap, malice, egocentricity, selfishness, stupidity etc. etc. ?? have you thought about that? Maybe it's a morality tale . . . . Taurisk
