[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teen son is the only  << good >> person in the show because he's willing to walk away from the wealth and power that he will inherit. He's walking away from the ability to inflict tyranny and instead focus on the beauty of his existence on earth.

Then again, his approach is one based in privilege. Most working class poor don't have the safety net to walk away from it all and live as wanderer of the earth. He has the confidence because subconsciously he knows he will be bailed out by his Mom.

The microcosm of the resort was a really good allegory of the wider social and class issues at play in America. Brilliant show. [/quote]

Oh, please, like a sixteen year old boy can walk away from his life. You know as soon as he didn’t get on the plane one of his parents got off the plane to find him and drag him back to his final year at Dalton.[/quote]

I will say this -- that is how a poor kid would do this.  Rich kid's parents would have said ---- ok you can do this -- but sign up for online school at a fancy online school that is like 40k a year (like actor kids do); they would have found a place for him to live/stay.  Rich parents would know all this could happen and it would not be a blip on the kid's life when he is done rowing.  Poor kid would have screwed up his life.[/quote]
