Obsession (2023) – Episode 4 – Personal Thoughts

Source

Since I was already on the mood for an obsessed fatal attraction I decided to finish watching Obsession, the trailer of this mini series is such a spoiler so I knew some one was going to die and I think that’s part of the magic of this affair theme series, some one has to cry, some one has to get hurt and some one has to die, I have to say that even though the affair comes to and end in the first five minutes of the episode I was front running disappointment, I was surprised and worried that it ended so quick now what? is this some bullshit end? but no, I think the rest of the episode went really well with details of Anna, she was now the focus, it was important to know her reaction, part of her past and I was on the right path as how she operates, she does this, she ends relationships, she plays with fire all the time that’s when Peggy told her “you have done worst things before” Anna is a viper who doesn’t care for anyone and when shit hits the fan she just run away.

Other than been a drama this mini series show how dangerous is for me to be obsess with a woman, its been said that woman they usually fall in love once in a life time but men can have same feelings over and over for different woman, tend to grief less when relationships are over and become the DUMBEST CREATURE ALIFE when completely fall for a woman that at the same time can forget once the relationship is over and repeat the cycle, a large amount of men have affairs and as anything that can turn into an addiction the problem is knowing when to stop, the reason why I say this is because anyone can make a mistake usually when men are young have affairs because they lack experience on how to control themselves but with age comes wisdom, anyone who learn from past mistakes should know better.

For William, Jay his son, was not only Anna fiancé but he has turn into his competition for her, we talking that he doesn’t see Jay with the eyes of a father anymore and for a man to act that way and have no remorse of what may happen if his affair come to light, that has to be a sad, selfish monster, I can understand him ending his marriage after all but feeling that way for his own blood, his own and only son that goes way far beyond of been wrong or stupid.

This series did very poorly in terms of reviews, I’m not sure why, yes this is an affair theme series, nothing new, nothing that has not been done before and anyone who watch it should know what to expect, production and actors are on point, its not a blockbuster or AAA series but good enough to spend some hours watching.

Direct continuation from where we left last episode, William was desperate to be with Anna again, after celebrating with his son Jay for his engagement with Anna, William is going to meet with her and Jay found strange that he said “learn to love the questions” something only Anna had said to him so Jay decided to follow his dad because he felt he was going to meet Anna, he didn’t have any proof or anything concrete that would tell him so and still follow him after pure instinct. Jay sees his father enter the building of Peggy’s apartment and he knew what was going to happen, he calls his mother trying to short talk but doesn’t tell her what’s going on, that was the last time Ingrid heard his son, before Jay got into the building he was about to cry, nervous, scared of what he was going to discover.

Jay gets to the apartment, he heard Anna moaning as he is having sex, knock on the door and decided to force his way in after no body answer to find Anna blind folded with her hands tied and William fucking he from behind, this was a huge shock for him, steps back, tries to hold from the stairs railing but slips and falls straight to the lobby stairs, it was an immediate death, Anna is shock and almost didn’t see what happen as she took off the blind fold when he slips and William ran downstairs still naked, screaming, crying, but there is nothing to do after such impact against concrete stairs, surprise surprise Anna gets dressed and runs away while William sits on the stairs, police and paramedics come in and take Jay’s body.

Up next we will start to measure how stupid is William, the man goes back home, how could you go back home after what happen, one thing is having and affair get caught and end the relationship ok fine you go back and pick up your things but in this case his son died because his father had an affair with his fiancé, come on men, you should never ever put a foot on that house again, you should consider yourself banish from their life’s, indirectly William is Jay’s murder, he needed to let Ingrid and his daughter some time for things to cool down a bit and then figure out the terms of how things will end between Ingrid and him, find out how he will keep a relationship with his daughter but this man is so blind that decided to throw everything away for Anna.

At Jay’s funeral, William father in law told him something that must has hurt him but it actually didnt, he said Jay always tried to imitated William but was not close and yet his best skill was not been like William, latter on Anna’s mother talk to William and reveal the truth about Anna, she always run away, she ruin things for others looking after her happiness only, selfish, reckless, to then just run away but William kept looking for her.

After a few days Anna is trying to get over the situation without much success, she is staying at a hotel next to the beach, chilling at the pool was having a short conversation with a couple who was also staying at the hotel, when they ask how she was doing Anna answers with the truth “my fiancé just died because I was having an affair with his father, find out about it, slip down and die” , short version, then walks away but William found her at that hotel, after some moment together at least without having sex she finally show some remorse and tell William they have done a lot of pain, he answers back that’s its already done, so basically fuck it he is dead we are alive, such a sick bastard, for me this is what officially sentence the episode but after all Anna and William are two selfish bastards, one thing is having an affair but another is having an affair with your son’s fiancé.

Now that its over and we know the outcome some may say what’s the difference of having an affair with your sons fiancé, after all she is another woman but its not that she is your sons fiancé, is that he is your son, I can really care less for Anna but for a father your sons and daughters should be irreplaceable that’s your blood, he came to this world because of you and his mother, how could you make his suffer that way, there are things in life that you just cant even think about it, just thinking about it is totally wrong, it was a shocking story, even though this is nothing new and with society now days going downhill this situations are seen more often in real life but I think this series did a good job at bringing it to the screen.

Obsession (2023) – Episode 3 – Personal Thoughts


Source

Obsession for me turn out to be a very entertaining mini series, I’m really not into drama stories, the internet as in other type of reviews has a very harsh opinion on this series basically because it drift from other stories like Damage and Fatal Attraction, the irony the TV Series Fatal Attraction just came out a few days ago, three first episodes drop and guess what, the reviews are not so good neither but for anyone who think you can make an opinion out of other peoples review online I have to say it wont work, anything with an online score of five is worth giving a shot because for you it could turn into a seven plus, there is people who score Obsession with a 1 that’s just ridiculous, this story has very good amount of suspense moments, some other are very predictable but for example on this episode when Peggy start talking about Anna mom I really make me want to see her on the series and I was prepare for things to go wrong, nothing spectacular happen but how about Jay remind her of his son and caught William craving Anna that scene was great, plus the production of the series is good quality, short story take online reviews just as a low score opinion and then watch the series and make an opinion out of your experience, I’m one chapter away from finish Obsession and so far I cant complain and I think I’m glad is only four chapters, its like watching a very long movie.

We are getting closer to the end of this short interesting story, it gets more intense as now someone knows about Anna and William, he is getting text messages from an anonymous source who says she/he knows everything he is doing yet both Anna and William still have the nerves of steel to sit down at the same table with William’s family for an engagement dinner, the first suspect who is sending the text messages has to be Peggy unless William has open his mouth at work or somewhere else.

Source

I think I would not be capable to even sit down at that table and yet they still sneak to the bathroom to fool around, Anna is crystal clear on her rules like she have done worst than this in the past but William has no clue of what is an affair and how to have one successfully, Anna even know how to play with encrypted messages telling William if she touch her hair at the table means she is thinking of how the going to fuck next time they see in private but Williams intermediately ask when, so needy.

William tells Anna about the messages and she acts like she have been there before, she also think its Peggy who is tormenting William and decides to confront her.

Source

Anna goes to Peggy after dinner, Jay is with her on the car and waited downstairs since Anna told him she didn’t want to meet Peggy tonight, for sure Peggy and Anna were or are lovers, Anna has a harem of people on her sex life, turns out Peggy confess its not her and some one else knows about them, got to say that makes things great, more suspense, more intense and few candidates come to mind like Williams wife for example, she even mention to him once that she wouldn’t see him having an affair so why not her.

Peggy latter calls Anna and said “you have done so fucked up things in the past” what does that mean? how fucked up? even paint a scene that Anna will need Peggy when her mom meet Jay at the engagement party. That really make me want to meet Anna’s mom.

Source

The moment comes and Anna’s mother said Jay looks like Aston, Anna’s brother, she ones told William about how Aston was in love with her and latter on kills himself after she puts him down, Anna’s mother sounded dilutional and very unstable, I thought she would be the over protective powerful woman or someone who rejects her daughter for all the crazy and bad things she have done but it was totally different.

During the party Anna talk to a few people trying to find out who is sending William all those text but no luck, then the speech time comes up, one of the text William got that night said that he got until the speech was over or she will tell the truth that added way more suspense to the situation and then the MOTHER of suspense comes to stage, Ingrid during her speech mention she has been spying on William, right there I’m sure many thought she was the one sending the texts but NO again fool everyone, she ended talking about some pictures of William and her and how much they still love each other bla bla bla love speech …Jay and Anna be happy, sometimes there are moments with a lot of expectations that last for very short time and then fall real quick during the series, I think some people may not like that, I still do. During the speech William got extremely tense to the point he broke his champagne gas and cut his hand, Anna’s mom catch him looking at Anna and then told her she hopes William is nothing to her, so her mom knows there might be something between them.

Anna and Sally, Jay’s sister, go out shopping for Sally’s dress and she confess she was the one sending the messages because she found the page William stole from Anna’s diary, some how Anna pulls this ninja move and confess its her hand writing, that she feels ashamed because she forgot her diary at Hartley and William found it and hold it for her, she was afraid he would read it but not only that, now Sally read a page out of her personal thoughts, off course Sally felt sorry for her, still think his dad did something wrong but indirectly shuts down the affair possibility. Anna is a menace.

William and Anna keeps seen each other, she again remind him of the rules now that she got back the page he stole from her diary but that wouldn’t end their affair. Jay is having his bachelor party with some friends and William shows up,  after a few drinks he decides to go not before having a talk to Jay about marriage, women, how difficult it is but then ends with “learn to love the questions” after Jay said he doesn’t know what he mean with all this random conversation about Anna been a challenge for Jay. William said it on purpose to tip him off, he doesn’t want to share Anna with Jay and she told him once, it doesn’t end with just him, William.

Jay decides to follow William because only Anna have said that phrase to him before, the obvious is that he will caught William with Anna and I’m sure what ever happens next wont be a surprise but might be explosive.

I don’t know others but I have really enjoy Obsession so far, yes has a lot of cliche and things that are predictable but there is more to it, parts of the story that adds more spice to the moment, production is great, actors are fine, they develop the character they were given, this is no video game AAA+ story with a huge fan base, this is a drama story that could not be so much different than any other cheating story we have seen before, there are elements good to the story but nothing that is ground braking. Its good to watch to fill in when there is nothing else interesting to watch.
