I feel like the spoilers we got don't give anything away though.

Even tho I know that there are spoilers through twitters, other sites which that's why I try not to get curious about it..

Actor spotlight: Gillian Anderson

Quote:

Jean Milburn is certainly complex, and whilst appearing a confident sex therapist who knows who she is, Jean is not always honest to herself and struggles with intimacy. Anderson subtly conveys her insecurity despite an outer shell of confidence; perhaps she brushes her hair back hesitantly, takes a deep breath at the wrong time, or holds her hands together tightly. They are little signals that Jean is not one-dimensional comedy. The lack of boundaries, the painful openness of Jean that is incredibly awkward do make her hilarious and proves that Anderson can do both drama and comedy.

In both Sex Education and The Fall, Anderson plays older women confident with their sexuality and comfortable with having a sexual relationship with younger men. Some critics call it bold, but it’s sad that it should be. Anderson normalises not only a woman-led drama but places a woman over forty with an open sexuality centre stage, in a refreshing stance that we need to see more of.

I don't know why people was like why she go after young men when it was okay for older men w/ young girls.. But at least it was nice to see that as long she's not dating the college guy..

There will always be a double standard when it comes to women.

**fly me to the moon** · 04-09-2021, 05:53 PM

I know right.. I mean, I don't see what's wrong w/ that since I felt like sometimes young guy gave them attention and all that.. But it shouldn't be double standard when it comes to women..

If a woman enjoys sex as much a man does, she’s viewed in a negative light. At first, I was taken aback by how promiscuous Jean was but she has a right to be that way. I just wish she’d address her own issues instead of closing herself off to feeling anything.

**fly me to the moon** · 04-10-2021, 05:26 PM

Yeah, I agree.. Even though, I guess that she rather to have sex than being in relationship after what happened between her and her ex-husband..

Penny Lane · 04-10-2021, 05:36 PM

Well, that's true. It seems Jakob is the first man she fell for since Remi.
