I promised L (Alice) a ‘Who’s having the worst time post s1?’ poll pre s2 so (shilling below):

Spoilers below, naturally!

Artemis: Went missing in a strange new place for months. Just found out that not only is her mum dead, she was killed by the only person Artemis thought she could trust. That man then went on to try and kill her, but instead she ended up watching him kill his daughter then beg her to do something about it. Now she is almost 16 years old with absolutely no one in her corner.

Ian: Suffering severely from a very well-documented, easily-treatable mental health issue due to medical malpractice. Although he’s correct about a lot of things, everyone treats him like he’s experiencing an episode of psychosis (and not the way you should treat someone experiencing delusions, either). Killed his own daughter in a fit of hysteria, but even that wasn’t enough for the townsfolk to believe he’s a danger to himself and others. Now in prison of his own volition.

Alice: Her husband uprooted their family from a seemingly idyllic life. After a rocky adjustment period her daughter then got seriously ill. She spent a long time caring for her and just as she was getting better, Alice’s long term project (literally) went off the rails, pushing Alice into committing manslaughter. Just as she was coming to terms with this awful deed, her husband had a complete breakdown, killed their child, then removed himself from her life without even a word.

Elaine: Their family moved them to a weird British town, settled and began to build a new life there, then decided to move and leave Elaine behind.

Noah: Has a doctorate but is forced to work somewhere that goes against all of their morals. Struggles to make friends at the best of times, but is now at an age where all their friends are getting married and settling down and they feel so, so lonely all the time. Did something well-intentioned that had horrific consequences a few years ago and it haunts them. Really, really far from home.

Dr Clayton: Has a sweet little life, tbh. Though everyone keeps calling him ‘Dr’ when it’s ‘Mr’.

Addi: Didn’t put herself forward for a position she probably should have because she felt under-qualified and is now furious about it. Has basically been running the local government with no credit for the past several months. Now that Ian is gone she can’t pass any measures or make any changes, but is still expected to take care of the town. Feels like she’s losing her mind.

Alex: Currently seems like he has a sweet little life, but he does not.

Rory: Clearly their life is falling apart, but they’re clinging on. Equally, their job was destabilised when Ian up and left, but we get the impression they were in a tough spot even before that.

Grace: She’s straight-up dead.

Ethics Town episode 7 🤝 Camlann episode 7

Making me go "WHAT????"

[ethicstownpod]

Okay, that was NOT what I was expecting from Ethics Town.

I thought, you know, it’s just a story with found family trope with paranoid man a a girl who lost her mother, and now they were trying to deal with whatever the hell was going on in the town.

BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT *cries in emotions and confusion*

Rhys "I am hungry. And I'm anxious" Lawton you were born to be a sad little radio guy, I fear

“I’m going to live in the same city as Rhys for a couple months” >>>>>> Rhys and I call every week McElroy-style just to talk pipeline is insane

I'm going to live in the same city as Rhys for a couple months, so I'm going to start carrying around a little book, making really intense eye contact with him, then writing in it, and when he asks what I'm doing I'm gonna be like 'writing your biography?? Obviously??'

Because I definitely don't annoy him enough already from 400 miles away

[ethicstownpod]

Me: I think you should have to lip sync for your life to a Beetlejuice number.

Rhys: When I have my goth girlie outfit I’ll do that.

Going to sit down with Rhys and make ✨social content✨ (per his request! I am not holding him hostage!), whaddya wanna see this boy do?

(This isn't for ET, just for, like, Rhys The Human Being. I have 7,000 ideas, naturally, but Rhys is my bestest boy and everything he makes is delightful to me. Silly suggestions also accepted, this isn't his favourite thing in the world and I want us to have fun)

Any plans for a season 2 of Ethics Town? I'm enamoured by this world and story

Why thank you!

And absolutely! Two more seasons! S2 written and ~90% recorded as of right now. We've had some delays with cast illness, and I have to move house next month which will slow the vocal cuts down, and our beloved sound designer is finishing off uni right now.

But we're hoping to be back with season 2 before the end of summer! (July if we're shooting for the stars, but we'll settle for August!)

[ethicstownpod]

Oobviously I adore the trans woman accidental religious figurehead, but how on earth did you manage to also get me rooting for a cop AND a career politician??? (I’m asking rhetorically, the answer is that your writing is beautiful and the performances are genuinely stirring.)

Thank you very, very much!

Definitely I think a huge shout-out has to go out to Sarah Griffin who does such fabulous work both in general and particularly this episode to humanise Shrue and make them a compelling character to follow.

It's really hard to get people rooting for someone like this, especially in a crowded field of characters, and Sarah just does a brilliant job.
