Queen Charlotte - a love lesson

Queen Charlotte is a story from the Bridgerton series, where the main character is the queen.

It is not exactly a surprise because of all polemics surrounding the fact that a black woman represented the queen. The authors used that in their favor, and in a good way if you ask me - they created another successful series.

Queen Charlotte is not brilliant, but it is a sweet story.

Irreverence and Strong Female Characters

Bridgerton already got us used to strong female characters that are not exactly aligned with the historical era they represent. Queen Charlotte wasn’t different.

The impetuosity and bravery of the young queen are evident in the first scene. She is a fantastic character, and despite seeming so “badly behaved” for the time, she showed to have the biggest heart.

It also focuses on the needs and intimacy of older women, which is rarely approached, especially in such a sensitive way as this.

Love Lesson

Love is capable of everything, and you should do everything for love - this is the general idea of Disney princess movies. Funny enough, it is the message here as well.

Charlotte arrives in a foreign country with different culture and no friends. She marries a man she doesn’t know, and she soon finds out he has mental issues. Does she run away? Well, she tried; she got scared, after all. Yet, she ends up giving him what is missing: love.

Can love cure a mental illness?

The quick answer is no, and Queen Charlotte did not intend to lie to us. The King does not get cured; he will never be. In fact, he will be worst with time, but he could enjoy a good life.

Queen Charlotte gives a good lesson about love, tolerance, and acceptance. It is a sweet story to binge-watch.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor. The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability. Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
