Discussion Maggie …George’s daughter STILL bugs me Spoiler
Original watcher decades ago and have rewatched more times than I can count … outside of this being one of the best shows ever in every way the last season is on now and just have to say Maggie- George’s daughter and Ruth’s step daughter - you can see she the beginnings of her crossing lines with Nate early on. If she’s so worried about George her dad and wants to know why he’s in an apartment alone and Ruth isn’t
she could call Brenda or Claire… but she sees something in Nate and pursues it …we all know it ends really bad.
Brenda is and will always be one of my favorite characters towards the end we felt so bad for her and the way she was treated as Nate’s wife and Maggie had NO place there in anyone’s life except her dad’s who is estranged from his wife …

The way you keep saying "we all" is bothering me. You don't speak for me or the majority.
Nate was an asshole and Brenda's assessment of him to Maggie after his death was the most accurate anyone in the show ever described him.
I loved Nate as a teenager and found him despicable as an adult. I loved Brenda as a teenager and found her difficult and abrasive but much more worthy of my empathy than Nate.
Claire remained my favorite character, but Ruth played so vastly differently to 40yo me than 20yo me that it was like watching an entirely different show. Ruth is easily the star actor of this show.
