Intentionally campy or accidentally terrible?
I picture Josh Lucas in the recording studio and pausing at every other line to ask, “and you’re sure this is right…?”. Only to be told that 2 fourteen year old girls were hired to write it and the only direction they were given was “Make it reeeal sophisticated… You know, like how grown ups really talk”. I almost had myself convinced that it was just campy and so being awful was actually part of the charm. But I was wrong. Also, I’m not someone who thinks every single thing is offensive but I have to say, this really was pretty insulting to Bonnie Lee Blakely. She’s portrayed as so manipulative & cunning yet somehow also stupid & spoiled that she was practically begging to be murdered. I’m disappointed in Wondery here. They typically try to be more victim friendly and respectful.
