I think their history binds them together as well as their trouble with men and relationships, but Mary is the most loyal sort of motherly type and actually anchors the friendship. |

Well! I was wondering when the abusive stepdad/boyfriend would reenter the picture. He seems way too young to be Nancy’s stepdad.
I think somehow Mary’s oldest son will have the key to everything. He seems to know something is up . |
YES. This is the perfect way of describing her and why she annoys me so much. I really enjoyed the episodes she wasn't a part of! |
+1 Her slow cadence is SO annoying. DP |
| Elizabeth Moss is so good as an abused and overwhelmed woman. The best acting out of any of them. |
Agree, far better than the others. Originally I thought she was miscast, but the the character developed layers. Unlike the others. |
Kate Mara was poorly cast. Not pretty enough or charismatic enough for the role. Very flat. |
I disagree. I think she’s quite beautiful. |
NP-She grew on me. I think she actually has that WASPy frail and attractive but not great beauty look that makes her fit in her dh's world physically, even though she's from poverty. I thought her acting was very good and so was Moss's. Kerri Washington is just herself in everything and very flat. |
Charmless. |
DP. I think she's beautiful too, but much more so with her natural hair color. I wish they hadn't dyed it blonde, which totally washes her out and makes her look very ordinary. |
| WTH? Could someone please explain the very last scene?? |
The cast has been asked in interviews, and no one seems to know! My guess is that they forged a connection/friendship after he took her criticism to heart, and that's basically it. I think it strains credulity to suppose they could be romantically involved. |
That arch look that Mary gave? It could be read as “Eff you, Howard, we all turned out ok.” But there’s that glance as well, between Robert and Mary. They’ve definitely left an opening for a second season without a giant cliffhanger, which I appreciate. |
PP here - I hope you’re right. Maybe Robert has newfound respect for Mary after she was brutally honest with him. There couldn’t possibly be more between those two. Where were they celebrating the bday party? It seemed like it was one of Robert’s properties - but why? That whole scene made no sense to me whatsoever. |
