might have been a mistake on my part to circle back to this show after finishing Ticket to Heaven. I'm not handling the tonal shift very well for now. Perhaps I'll re-try this show in the future.
Excellent attention to detail. Barth's car (Ford Capri XR2 convertible) was an affordable car during its time, showing that their present lifestyle is comfortable, but not filthy rich (as is the usual for happy endings).
Heey, I have a question for queer people that were religious or are religious and had to pass between the culpability…
Gay and non-practicing Catholic here who went to an all-boys Catholic school. I accepted I was not straight early on in high school, but I swiftly realized that my identity and practices would be incompatible with the institution of Catholicism, so rather than live in hypocrisy, I broke away and became a theist/cultural catholic instead.
Although I did not enter a minor seminary (like I assume St. Magdalene College is), this show is pretty much 100% accurate. Faith and guilt are the central currencies of Catholicism, and you can see this play out in Tanrak with painfully exquisite clarity. I am a 'Barth', and growing up I've seen dozens of 'Tanraks'.
(If you believe that homosexuality does not exist in the priesthood, boy do I have a bridge to sell you.)
Guilt is a Catholic specialty. Ideally it should be addressed with equanimity, but in practice Catholics often wildly resonate between repression and indulgence.
Good luck with this remake though.

I love the show, and I love G4, don't get me wrong, but I'll probably never re-watch it.
(If you know someone who loves rewatching YNEH, please see if they're really okay.)

(I am not saying this is exclusive to Catholics.)
