Connor season 4
I've been watching since season one, and Connor was definitely a series win when he joined in season 3. He was quickly one of my favorites, and I really liked watching the conversations he had with his family about figuring out the complexities of relationships and boundaries. But this season feels like he's done a 180°. I know a year has passed and a lot has changed in that time. He's working more and more on tv, he seems excited to volunteer for press interviews, attending events with friends. I was so excited to see everything he had been up to when the new season released.
I was kind of disappointed to see that Connor seemed even more selfish this year. I understand the show is following his story and journey specifically, but I felt like Georgie was kind of an afterthought. He was very worried about her no longer being interested in him or the lack of affection, but made absolutely no attempt to ask her why she felt that way, she had to explain herself. And the subsequent dates almost felt like he was dragging her around his life and his interests, yet I don't think I've ever heard him ask her a personal question about herself or her interests on the show. (Obviously i know he has in private, but this is a show)
Don't even get me started on the pub scene. If I were her, I'd have walked out.
I don't know... it just felt like he was steamrolling her every chance he got, snapping at her or scolding her for not following along with his scripted idea of what the moment is supposed to be. It felt extremely disingenuous, perhaps it was just the editing but it felt like Connor emotionally regressed this season and became more selfish before the breakup, and I hate to say that it feels like his mother often caters to his feelings rather than being realistic about his behavior at times.
I don't mean to be hateful or rude to Connor or his family, I just thought I'd throw in my thoughts.
