The director of episodes 5 and 6, Mairzee Almas, on Darklina and Aleksander’s genuine feelings for Alina.

What’s genuinely nice about BB is that he has never betrayed a drop of condescension towards the material. The S&B books are middling even by YA standards and the adaptation, while good, is still unmistakably YA. I think many grown-ass men would be embarrassed to be associated with this material, especially if they’ve just come from a round of prestige/hypermasculine fare like Westworld/The Punisher the way BB did. I’ve seen people joke about his English lit degree, and the guy definitely had to read a lot of Shakespeare and all that highfalutin stuff at university. But he still goes out of his way to mention lines he enjoys from S&B, he thought so much about the love triangle to the point of having elaborate explanations for how or why his character kisses the girl a certain way, was considerate of depicting consent in an unbalanced power dynamic, and according to Jessie, he was very inclusive of her views on everything even though she was so young and inexperienced. Yes all of that is hot and he is hot &etc. but most of all this is just very heartwarming and I would love to see more dudes in the industry use his sincerity as a model when it comes to material aimed at girls and women.
