For the inbox love ask- which series angst do you like the most for cobert: series 2 (Robert & Jane), series 3 (Sybil's death) or series 5 (Cora & Bricker)
Oh wow that's a good question! I'm quite torn about the canon angst.
I'm NOT a fan of the series 2 angst storyline. Some of you might know this as I talked about it to some people. I know that others feel different and I guess I understand how the storyline can be intriguing, but I absolutely hate how it was executed. Even if Hugh Bonneville said he didn't feel it was out of character for Robert, I don't feel that way. For me, it's totally ooc with the things Robert says. I always struggle with these scenes when rewatching series 2.
I like the series 5 angst more. Of course, I hate Robert being such a huge Donk but I feel like it's a less superficially mapped-out storyline than the series 2 angst (probably a lot of judgement on my part). When I watched the show with my family, we got into an argument about the Bricker storyline. Especially my mother said that Cora was purposefully flirting and that she should think about the consequences before. I don't see that at all. I don't tire of defending Cora. But this argument made me more conflicted about the Bricker storyline and how people perceive it, so not a favourite lol
So, I think I would say that I like the series 3 angst the best. It is so heartbreaking and I love Sybil so much but it's sooooo well done! I hate seeing my Cobert babies so destroyed and more divided than ever but it brings so much depth to the characters and their feelings. And it's even better that they show how it actually makes their relationship grow and how they manage to find back to each other again.
But yeah, in general, I'm very picky with my angst š
