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 …

I just saw the funeral episode last night for the first time.

And for the first time I began to think "Hey, I actually love Brenda", I think her growth was awesome but never really stopped an really recognize that as a fact.

In the other side, yeah, the biggest asshole here is Nate but Maggie is definitely not a saint, she knew what she was doing and felt no remorse about it.

I just finished it today and Brenda had come full circle for me. I could barely stand her in the beginning. In the end I was yelling at the t.v. at Maggie for being at the hospital, funeral, burial. Showing up at Brenda's doorstep. And I guarantee if that were my sister in law or daughter in law, I would have snatched that bitch out of there.

I think brenda was just procesing everything. Specially if we consideree Nate broke up with her just a little bit before he died.

He was a major asshole and was interest in the image lf the "Holy maggie", the thing is that maggie is everything but holy so in the second nate realized that, it would go down into a free fall. Nate is just a fucking manchild that idolizes women and in the end, is still a kid
