Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[Betty]

I'm getting sick of my posts disappearing when I hit the wrong button twice! One last comment: the ending was right, and I'm now okay with it, but I felt that the frustration of the HR people (like me) was stoked by the Victorian level of chastity maintained between the two characters from beginning to end. It didn't make sense and it felt sexually manipulative: these were people who had both had lovers, and yet they never lost self-control with each other for a second. I didn't want to see a sex scene, though if the actors had both been 29 and ripped, you KNOW it would have happened (Adam and Ros's scenes only added to the sadness of their story). I just felt manipulated as a viewer. That part of the story didn't feel quite right.
