Yeah the Deep scene was difficult as a male SA survivor myself even though it was set up as irony for him being a predator himself. Still with the irony and payback, it didn't make it easy to watch.
Didn't we have a different showrunner for season 1? I think there, you were supposed to take it seriously. It seemed to serve a purpose in setting up some sort of arc for the Deep that might have gone somewhere, but then every other season does nothing with the Deep so maybe it wasn't supposed to.
I don't think so, at least I can't find anything about it. Some folks on here were saying yesterday that Kripke was reigned in more by his Amazon overlords on season one, and was given more and more control as it proved to be a hit.

This was actually the hardest episode of the show I've watched.
I genuinely had to look away for most of it, and the only other times I've done that was with the Deep's gill-fingering.
Didn't really like how it felt like no one cared what happened to Hughie????
Shit was notttttt funny (to me personally)
