A Little Frustrated w/ Ross at Times, But Ultimately a Passionate Ending

[av2009 · 8/10 · 19 January 2024]

Throughout the episode, I found myself fairly frustrated with Ross. While I adore him overall and understand he feels a responsibility to be supportive of Elizabeth and the family after the recent tragedy, it broke my heart to see him neglecting his own wife and child, especially during the Christmas season (not with gifts, but with love and attention). Despite Ross's many risky endeavors, Demelza has remained steadfast. She's loved him through their few highs and their many lows. Ultimately, the ending was redeeming. It was possibly my favorite scene up to this point in the series. I absolutely loved how sensual and passionate that moment was, without becoming overly sexualized and inundated with nudity as other shows can. It was beautifully done. Going forward, I do hope Ross will learn to prioritize his own family while continuing to be the "good guy" for everyone else.
