I had to stop at season 2. My adult kids raved about it all the way to the last episode. The start of Season 3 was SO DARK that I went from loving it to making my stomach turn
I've NEVER thought the Rhodens were bad people. I see hard working, resourceful, loyal people with family values.
They're WAY more together than many families.
I don't judge ANYBODY. I grew up in West Virginia in the 60's and 70's. I swam in the orange water of the Kanawa River, hunted, took out the row boat by myself at 6 years old twice a day to set trout lines. We had no car, no TV, no indoor plumbing til I was 6.
Wouldn't trade one minute of it. Am so proud of my roots and the beauty of where I'm from. I love my family.
When I bounce an idea off on a post, it may sound like I think these were bad people. I don't think that at all. All I have are media links of 8 people I never knew.
I make assumptions based on human behavior and emotions I've felt and the experiences I've had.
My family had so many secrets, ilness 7 suicides since I was born, one right in front of me when I was 5. Doctors who did drugs. Alcohol. Mental illness. Poverty, hunger, abuse, fear....They all make good people do crazy things.
Sometimes we do REALLY BAD THINGS BUT FOR VERY GOOD REASONS.
One of my cousins is talented author who wrote a book called Hillbilly Gothic. GREAT BOOK if it's NOT about your OWN family. Just want y'all to know I mean no disrespect
