I knew I'd enjoy the scene in which Jed confesses his feelings for Ben, but I had no idea just how meaningful and beautiful it would be.
I'll admit that I didn't expect that Jed would kill his father instead of his crush/friend, but I'm really glad they went in that direction. It's far less cliché. I'm also appreciative of the fact that they showed us where Jed's bullying behavior came from. But, most of all, I love that Jed was given such a realistic and gradual redemption storyline. And that his acknowledgment that he was a bully was tied in with his acknowledgment that he's attracted to men. That he was able to cast aside the shackles of his shitty father's influence, and embrace a side of himself that's beautiful.
Here's my favorite bits of the scene:
I adore the affection in Ben's eyes here as he's watching Jed grow emotionally.
And I appreciate so very, very much that Ben was aware of how hard it is to come to terms with not being straight
But Jed just falls right into him.
I loved it all and I'm so impressed with how this was handled. Well done, Legacies.
