YES!!!! I truly wish everyone living in the 1st world nations, could experience a week like this! I believe it would do absolute miracles for helping calm most of the strife, division and social/political turmoil that’s currently ripping apart and destroying all of us!🥺 Because it would provide an invaluable opportunity for everyone to gain some much needed perspective and appreciation for the unbelievably safe and luxurious life that we’re lucky enough to currently live in!❤️ Having come from a very poor, insanely corrupt country myself, and having worked tirelessly for more than 20 years to achieve my 2 biggest dreams in life (immigrating to/earning full American citizenship and having a little business of my own here)… Many people get really mad at me, when I try explaining to them, that even our homeless citizens have a far higher quality of life and better care, than about 3/4 of the world’s population. That those who are just barely at the poverty line here-still have a significantly better, healthier and far more luxurious life than even the “upper middle class/lower high class” citizens, who live in basically all/any of the countries outside of the “1st world” category/demographic.

[@SteppingStonevlogs]

I think you have a solid point here. The commentary given after reading 'his' diary, when he was almost in tears because of exhaustion and empathy, showed a character growth not seen in the previous episode. When you said he would Tyger would be"appreciative for things in the future & not take the opportunities & rights we enjoy for granted" I think you are completely, because it felt as if he wanted, if it were possible, to create a time machine to 'save' his counterpart and show that other miserable and exhausted young man the future where Tyger is so privileged to live in. This young man had a reality check;"I know it's not...but it's hard to pretend it's not real" was his comment, I think.

[@NotSure109]

I thought that was a great moment of realism showing how tense and unfair life would have been for someone in his role. It was quite sweet of the producers to have the cheating customers call the innkeeper back and say "it wasn't my ring after all". They saw how stressed he was and threw him a bone.

I think it’s telling how some who eat meat can’t stand contact with it. A véritable disconnect between reality. Where do people think their food comes from?

[@molekyyli]

Nowadays it's growing on shelves in supermarket, don't you know that. :D Otherwise, I agree. Most are disconnected, doesn't matter if they eat meat ("can't gut it") or not (doesn't realize or is ignorant how many animals (including sentient ones) are killed for foods that can be categorized as vegan and find a way to justify it as okay). Life eats/kills life, there's no way around it. And the attitude of those two ladies is horrible.

[@Widdekuu91]

To be fair, if someone eats meat sómetimes and is a member of the RSPCA, you can imagine they wouldn't like to gut a fish or skin a rabbit. I eat meat twice a month on average (simply because I've noticed I get slow, tired and vééééry pale without that) but it's biological and it's less than a small handful. I mean, if you asked me to skin a rabbit, likening my pet bunny that has recently passed, I wouldn't do it either. And the woman that was crying, while the blood of the fish came squirting out, she continued, didn't she? Despite witnessing something shocking she hadn't seen before and hasn't been brought up with. People in victorian times saw animal-slaughtering or cruelty happening on the streets, what did it matter, but her brain connects this to hurting the fish and/or unneccessarily killing something.

[@molekyyli]

@@Widdekuu91 That's the thing here. She has never seen it before although it's an inevitable part of life and everyone should acknowledge that in order for them to live something else has to die, over and over again. Even if the person is vegan as growing plants includes pest control = killing million of animals. Why is killing a fish or a rabbit worse than killing a deer, a hog or a field mouse? It's better because we don't get to see it and then it's somehow "better option"? People should wake up to the reality.

[@Widdekuu91]

@@molekyyli Acknowledging it is one thing, but you also need to accept the response to that task can be intense. She knows where her food comes from, but obviously isn't comfortable with eating a lot of meat herself or tries to avoid it, same with Anne. I try to avoid buying plastic as much as possible, yet I still buy it (some stuff I need, simply is wrapped in plastic. I didn't do that.) If someone asks me to throw 4 bags of plastic into the sea, I might cry as well. Even though many people do it and some of what you recycle, will still end up damaging the earth. Youknow what I mean? And growing plants doesn't always include pest controll as in murdering the animals. My mom has a garden, she catches the snails in a bucket and throws them into a random field. She puts the carrots up on a higher part of the garden, fences, trays, etcetera.

[@Daliena]

A great example of two spoiled privileged ladies that are very disconnected from how reality functions... disgusting to watch them refuse. I love animals but you are immersing into a different era - no one is asking you to become a villain and torture living things - just freaking prepare food. Have they never plucked a chicken? Or chickens grow as prepared skinned meats in the supermarket. Just obnoxious.....they pretty much would have died of starvation in Victorian times.

Tyger was the most exhausted and he never complained his struggles during work. While the other teo working in the kitchen keeps complaining when they barely done anything as physically exhausting as tyger’s. I felt tyger’s struggle in this episode

I felt really bad for Tyger and almost cried for him. He has the hardest job and was giving 100%

[@LolixBelle]

well, it applies to modern times too, that's why people say work smarter not harder but that doesn't mean that hard work is not welcome, sometimes you have to be grateful to live.

[@jackworner9949]

I'm kind of disappointed in Anne. Yes, morality is important, but they were working to survive. She did the bare minimum and let the other members of the team down.

[@leilanilee438]

I know talking about how she was proud of the other girl for gutting the fish even tho it made her cry but she wasn't doing anything to help at all, besides telling her she disint have to do it but if she didn't do it then who would because Anne obviously wouldn't. ANNDDD leaving the other two to take care of the men while she freaking slept!

[@Allireallyneedisspace]

⁠@@leilanilee438especially in the first episode when one of the girls were about to throw up and said she felt degraded and how it was unsanitary all she said was “well, it was the way the Victorians lived.” Made me expect she was going full in the experience but was quick to stop at any thing she disliked

[@nutcase1995]

How disgraceful to eat meat but refuse to understand what it takes to become food.

[@AuthenticGadzooks]

That whole interaction made my blood boil, especially Ann's reaction. She'll go back to the 21st century and have a steak, but she doesn't have any respect for the animals that it comes from. That's what it comes down for me, respect for the animals.

[@bobcat420]

Same, I could understand not wanting to butcher it, because some people are squeamish to that kind of thing; but she outright acts like she's so above doing such a task. Like c'mon you signed up for this, yet you're refusing to emerse yourself.

[@venus_envy]

@@AuthenticGadzooks If she really cared and respected them, she's not eat them, but she does, she just wants someone else to do the killing for her. And now a days it's even worse for animals then it was back then, and there's so much more suffering. Look at how pigs (she mentioned eating them) are slaughtered in the UK, principally it's done by gassing them, which is extremely painful as it burns them, chemically, from the inside out. They scream like people. The actual people who do these jobs in the 20th and 21st century regularly get PTSD from doing these jobs. What she was asked to do was nothing. If it bothers her so much, she shouldn't be eating meat. Period.

[@beth2398]

Yes, and she was very rightous about it, too. She was willing to shovel human waste because Victorian's did it, but not prepare meat. She wouldn't have had such a choice back then. Also, people were more used to it back then.

[@littledoodles06]

As someone who has skinned and gutted animals for food I found this extremely upsetting. Ann has no respect for those animals if she if just going waste them. Not to add that she said that anyone who does such a thing is a sociopath.

[@Val.Kyrie.]

Yeah exactly, they aren’t even killing the animals, which could be absolutely legit in that environment. Skinning and gutting is nothing. There’s skinned rabbits at the grocery store, how do these people think they get that way?

[@djokealtena2538]

I would have liked that you'd get the opportunity to learn how to skin a rabbit. It's already dead and learning about the animal, its meat and the anatomy of the creature.

[@megally3673]

Val Kyrie exactly. And frankly, it would have been more honorable and ethical. Usually, the problem comes from mass consumption and disconnection from the reality of killing food. So she’s not really doing herself a favour by getting all high and mighty 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@dena81]

It's so interesting how Ann's acting in this. It's the reason why many companies don't want to hire older people because many have a 'I don't agree with that and won't do it' attitude, especially the ones with more experience, compared to someone like Tyger, his age straight out of college, first job and desperate to get real world experience, they'll do anything really. Funny enough the older attitude is more representative of a modern, spoiled attitude compared to being desperate to live and fine with doing what you're told because it means your belly will be satisfied, your bed warm, and you can live another day.

I hate that there’s just one season!! I want this show to come back:( the ratings are good too

[@TheGreatMoonFrog]

I laughed when they all seem bewildered by the fact that people back then just worked to survive and had no money for things not immediately related to basic survival. What do you think people making minimum wage do now? Rent is so high people working min wage literally can't afford a bachelor apartment in my city. You have to rent a room with others and even then money is really tight.

[@jesussaves6625]

It's still completely different. Even minimum wage workers, even those with more than one job, have cell phones and televisions, extra clothes, shoes, food when they're hungry, etc.

[@eskimberly7424]

Justine Spink food insecurity is a huge problem in the US as is homelessness. Some homeless people have jobs but can’t afford the cost of renting a place to live. Not everyone has a phone or TV or extra clothes (although thrift shops might help with some stuff like clothes). I work with people with mental illnesses who can’t afford to pay a phone bill regularly and who may be staying in temporary shelters or on the streets. Things aren’t as bad as Victorian days, it’s true, but many people today in the US fall through the cracks and suffer. Often we just don’t see them or know their stories or choose to look away.

[@jesussaves6625]

@@eskimberly7424 This is not about the U.S. first of all. It's the UK. Secondly, people who are mentally impaired and can't figure out budgeting are a completely different story than people actually starving to death. You prove it with the fact that they have people like you to assist them with it. True necessities are achievable for anyone who wants them in the U.S. (I'm not counting children, of course, whose parents may intentionally withhold food or something).

[@WildWombats]

@@jesussaves6625 Every single century, life gets slightly better, so your argument is not exactly a fair representation, because in the next 100-200 years, people will look back at our poorest and go, "wow, they really made them do all that for that little and they barely get anything in return?" Times change, and what is necessity changes as well. TV's might not be a necessity, but neither was going to the pub or the bar in Victorian era, but people did it to forget about the terrible things going on in life, similarly, TV is like an escape from that. Nowadays, a cell phone is practically a requirement, no cell phone no job in many cases, we have extra clothes but to get a job you can't rely on one set of clothes, in the old days they didn't care if oyu wore the same set of clothes forever, so even working requires multiple sets of clothes, and they had shoes in the old times too. I'm not saying to not be grateful for such things - but what you are saying is the absolute bare minimum for what is required of THIS century. It's easy to compare it to LAST century and be like "Be thankful for what you have" - which you should be anyways, but in another 100 years, this kind of min. wage work could be compared to the last 100 years min wage work. There are much more regulations and people can't be as easily abused as they once could, but we move forward as a society, and I only hope that we can continue to move forward and that the lowest class will be in a much better spot 100 years than they are currently and so forth.

"I may eat meat but I wouldn't work in an abattoir" then... maybe you shouldn't eat meat???? If you can't bear to pluck a bird you shouldn't eat birds!! Either face up to the reality of where your food comes from or opt out! RSPCA has nothing to do with what happens to an animal AFTER slaughter, what ridiculous self-aggrandizing nonsense

[@celticphoenix2579]

The RSPCA also has a breathtakingly high kill count of perfectly healthy animals due to over crowding. Animals who are not even eaten at the end of the day, just incinerated. So if she worked for the RSPCA then she kinda did work in a charnel house for animals. She needs to be taken down a peg or seven and shown the falsehoods she is living under with her inflated sense of self importance and morality.

Ann stands on such a moral high ground... of course that wouldnt be the case if she actually lived it. when she said 'makes them rich' ...immorality? really? quite the arrogant woman.

[@runningfromabear8354]

In school I studied servants from the medieval period to the 19th century and it isn't unbelievable she would do that. Source material shows people would do that sort of thing. The only thing is, morals among the working classes had a liability of hurting your reputation and labelled "awkward". She would have struggled to find employment as so much employment required recommendations. Her best chance would have been to find employment through the church. Moral high ground wasn't exactly a luxury, but it might be a very real price such as your ability to survive. But yes, some people did do exactly that.

[@JoanaTrincaoAaltonen]

Exactly. Or the lady was payed to act like that, or she just did it because she lives in the times that she can do it and knows that in a few days she is going back to her "normal 21 century European privileged life". She is not representing at all what this series are trying to show... I'd love to see her acting like that in the REAL times... If she did it at the REAL times, she would be amazing. I don't believe she would have, though.
