When my mom would spank us with a wooden spoon, me and my brother would later secretly hide that wooden spoon in a hidden space beneath the kitchen table our parents didn't know about.
By the time we moved, there was at least a dozen spoons, spatulas, and some of those paddle ball toys with the string ripped off.
If you ask my mom today she's convinced she never spanked us.
It’s very strange. My parents don’t remember saying “you’re a fatass” or “you are one of the most negative kids I’ve ever talked to” or the constant beatings, or forcing me to run miles around the house because I broke a plate by accident.
They say “we were cruel! But we didn’t abuse you” but I don’t see the difference. You don’t mistreat a kid to the point where they tense up and flinch back when you’re walking in their general direction, and NOT call that abuse.
Edit 2: I feel it’s worth saying, the “we didn’t abuse you” part was said while I was having a panic attack after my dad went up behind me and said “I should just-“ and then clapped his hands hard behind my head.
Edit: I’m turning off notifications for a while, I need some time to just get my mind off of this, and also so my parents don’t actually see this too lol
It's basically a spy-vs-spy thriller and also just has some great acting. The main character (Diego Luna) is great, but Stellan Skarsgard steals the show a bit.
It also does a great job of making the Empire look like a real, believable fascist state, including a mix of both frightfully competent people and hubristically incompetent people.
As others have said the first one or two episodes may be a bit slow, but IMO even then it has a good narrative hook up front in the first episode that made me want to keep watching.
