I do think this is an incredible story. I do like how we get to see it from either side. Or, a little from all three sides. We don't really get to see all that much of Christian. Just little hints of what's going through his mind.
I think it was an amazing scene when they do that bathroom scene. How she starts off really wanting to end things, but then geteting seduced into sex once more. And, this is when the husband is there to see it all. Funny, but really, really well done in how it was all set up.
And, I like how those kinds of set-pieces are used as development. Because he was there to see it, it allows him to see how she is with Christian. And, it's made concrete for how it is when they get together. It's still early days, but it's obvious she gets a lot out of being with the guy.
But, that's where the story shines. It's because all of this comes from the potential of the husband losing his job. Right at the start, he rejects other jobs because they don't pay as well. He doesn't jump on those, and it pushes his wife into... pursuing things she otherwise might not have done.
And, that works going forward as well. Like, unless he allows her to go play, his job is still in danger. But, he can see that maybe business will turn around if she goes whore herself, and so it allows him to just go with it.
I think it's magical, how this all works out. Hutch isn't all that stupid with the plot. I like that he did pull away from her. And, I liked to see those scenes. But, I also like that he's resolved things, and essentially now is thinking of it as an open marriage. Not only open for her, but for him as well, and we'll have to see if he does take more of an interest with Addison has things go on. I suspect he will.
It would be funny if Addison is sleeping with Christian, and has a causial fuck-buddy relationship wiht her uncle like that. And, it'd be funny if she tried to hide that face even as she tries to worm her way into Hutch's life. Like, it would be pretty hot if she was kind of a cheater too, but a hidden one, and continues to fuck Christian on the side (to keep her job).
But, as I say in my review, I do think things are nuanced. I do think the story is remarkable, and I see peices fitting well together. Not just a normal kind of story. But a good story. And, I like that there's forces behind that push the characters into their positions. I am curious to see how it unfolds from here. And, I look forward to seeing it.
