iZombie! Killing Eve! Elementary!

iZombie wrapped up its fourth season last night, and even though I assume there's only, like, three people reading this who care (out of the possibly six people reading this at all), I'm going to go under a cut for spoilers.

I don't watch any of these shows, though Killing Eve intrigues me. I feel shitty saying it, b/c I think Sandra Oh is a terrific actress, but she is one of those people whose faces I always have to struggle to look at. Samantha Morton is another one... sometimes their work overpowers my strange revulsion, though.

Ugh. I'm a bad person. Sorry Sandra and Samantha, I really do admire your skills and you are probably very nice people!

But, what I really meant to say is that I totally agree with you on the frustration of childbearing/motherhood being such a trope. I realize that the majority of women want to be mothers, but there is also a sizable minority of men and women who really have no interest in parenting, and don't run around feeling empty b/c of it. ETA: Even in a raw hormonal sense I can't relate to the urge to parent...I believe there is a huge, intense emotional thing related to hormones that some people experience and call their 'biological clock', but I only believe it b/c I trust some friends' accounts. I have plenty of emotions and physical responses to my own hormones, but the urge to get knocked up and raise kids has never been among them LOL.

Killing Eve is only eight episodes, and is about smart, ruthless women who want to kill each other but are also wildly attracted to each other, AND are both also kind of weirdos, so I definitely recommend it for the next time you're looking for something to watch.

Yeah, I'm with you. There was just a big void wherever my 'biological clock' was supposed to be. I think babies are cute, but I've never had the desire to spend more than an hour with one! I appreciate that most women are drawn to motherhood at some point in their lives, but it would certainly be nice if shows occasionally reflected the fact that not every woman wants to be a mother (and Watson would actually be a really good character to explore that with).
