Fandom: Becoming Elizabeth

I'm appalled at the people who think the show promotes grooming in depicting the real-life sickness that was Thomas Seymour seducing Elizabeth. To be clear, it actually happened, it totally was grooming, and the show is POINTING THAT OUT. The only times it seems "romantic" is when we're supposed to see how a naive child could see his behavior that way. It's a difficult line to walk and the show walks it really well.

Just the amount of reviews I saw howling about the grooming like they don't realize that's exactly what the show is purposefully portraying makes me furious, especially because I think it helped get the show get canceled. Some of these people rage!quitted without going on in the series and left reviews condemning the whole thing. Just decided the show was going to be perverted and tone deaf and left.

What got the show canceled was the pandemic and the cost. The decision to show Elizabeth as more of a naive teenager than the extremely savvy astute figure the record presents but also have her whisper or cry all of her lines probably didn't help (Elizabeth saying to Parr "my father would never have actually executed you" is insane). The record simply doesn't show this as a "naive girl falls for predator" thing either (there's def evidence there were quite a few "how do I get this dude to stop" aspects), which means that trope was a narrative choice and is fairly subject to criticism.
