![]() We are going into the philosophy of this series so much because there is very little to the story otherwise. The woman’s mind is an important part in things like that, and a series named Fatal Seduction, which is based on a woman, should not have missed that. But on the other hand, if you had to see what an intimate scene shot for the female gaze looks like, we would recommend Outlander or Fleabag. Take any example, be it The Affair, Reasonable Doubt, or this particular series: the scenes where a woman is supposedly taking control of what she wants and needs are tailored to fit the stereotype that suits men. It was a letdown of sorts, and it never ceases to surprise us how supposed moments of empowerment of women are commodified for the consumption of men. They can do whatever they want, and they only realize it was a mistake when the person they are having an affair with goes completely crazy over them.Ĭoming back to Fatal Seduction, we were also disappointed by the objectification of the actual adultery. Her tragedy must be valid enough to defend her transgression, whereas onscreen men need no such thing. It was written this way because the audience needed to be able to make an excuse for her behavior and root for her. She had known that the marriage was over for years, but it was these specific circumstances that pushed her toward Jacob. It is as if women can only feel desire as a coping mechanism for grief because let us not forget that even Nandi of Fatal Seduction was going through these exact same things when she met Jacob. As for the woman, her excuse was, as we said before, a distant husband and the death of a child. ![]()
