A piece of art
TTH was the most intense serie I’ve watch so far. Gem4th SLAYED their acting so freaking hard, combined with P’Aof directing and attention to details, the lighting, the editing,..... You don’t just watch them struggle and emphatise with them. You FEEL with them. It’s a whole experience and I’m not kidding. I’ve rarely felt so much while watching a serie. I have no words. It is perfection.
There’s no need to be religious to watch the show. From the very beginning, I’ve been feeling that God (and Father Anon), could be viewed as a personification of “society” rejecting gays (or any type of alternative relationship/love). If you see it from that perspective, everyone can identify to Barth/Tanrak, even when you are not religious, as long as you struggle to be yourself in fear of being judge by others. And the whole show is just about the fear of being rejected when you are different, and how that fear can be worse than anything else. (On that, I would have loved to see them address more directly the fact that the whole lying and hiding the relationship was the real sin, and once Tan accepted who he was, he was back on God’s path, especially as it is one big point in what the Father says to Tan (‘love is never wrong, it’s our actions that matters’)).
I would have wanted to see them go back to school and be accepted/forgiven directly. But I think the timeskip might have a symbolic: If you see god/Father Anon as a personification of society, it makes sense to make us wait for 2025, when gay marriage is legal, to have them come back and be acknowledged by god, aka society. I still would have preferred them to show us more: More of BarthTanrak growing up, how they would have learn to come at peace with who they are and their believes,.... Instead of having them talk about it. But I’m still satisfied with what P’Aof gave us, cause I think it’s what mattered to him. So I’ll just take it, cause this man is a freaking genious.
