Just finished s1 of Cruel Summer and feel vindicated because I couldn't stand Jeanette even when she was "proven" innocent, then saw the final twist. She never fully sat right with me and even when it seemed like she hadn't known Kate was there I couldn't shake the feeling she was not right in the head and had obsessive sociopathic tendencies. She repelled me even when I felt sorry for her.
I decided to check out what Reddit had to say about her, expecting to find the majority had also been repelled, and was shocked to discover that not only had Kate been the hated character in real time, an alarming number of ppl were *still* defending Jeanette even after the final reveal. (I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks a 16-year-old deliberately leaving a kidnap victim begging for help and smirking about it can be chalked up to being an awkward teen needs to see a therapist 😯)
I guess I shouldn't be surprised since I know that Redditors also were loud in despising Beck from S1 of You and defended Joe's actions but still🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Yes, I found Kate irritating and at times incomprehensible but when you look at her upbringing and how she was groomed and traumatised, I think it's her that should have been given the understanding of "she's just a teen". Not fecking Jeanette.
The actress who played Jeanette was brilliant as it's left me with a feeling of uncomfortable slime I can't scrape away. I can't stand that character and hate even more that she got away with it.
So, bravo, writers 👏🏻
I need a shower....

I’m like 95% sure that Isabella killed Lisa or caused her death and 5% sure that it was just a tragic accident and everyone just thinks it’s Isabella’s fault. But I’m 100% sure that she caused Lisa’s death.
