Midway through s3 of the med one and
Joao is a piece of shit and I hate the way he talks about Zimbabwe, the way he uses “they” when describing bad stuff that happened to his family like “they’re good people but they hurt my family”, like if someone got beaten up in London they’d blame the individuals and not all of England, idk if im explaining it properly, and the infantalising way he speaks about the nation complete with dumb photos of him with random lions and elephants, its like someone saying they’re from England and posing with a dead pheasant in one and and a cup of tea in the other, only these stereotypes aren’t harmful like the reductionist, primitive “Africa is a jungle with lions and elephants lol” type ones. And his behaviour with the women he tries to get it on with is disgusting. Hannah makes me sick too, 30 but acting like a mean 16yo at school, completely unable to take accountability for her actions, she’s gross. Also the way when the black primary made a few complaints hannah called her a bitch immediately, despite the complaint being totally fair, and the white friend of the black primary was way ruder but didn’t get called a bitch, neither did subsequent rude white guests. Just that black lady so far. Probably coming from Zimbabwe she’s not used to being in the position of serving a black person and knows it the other way round and can’t stand that a black woman is in a position of power over her. Its what it looked like to me anyway, the vitriol was too much. Then she proved herself to be spiteful anyway so it isn’t a surprise that she’s probably a racist too.
Conrad is a moron as well, and the chef is surprisingly insecure for someone who is able to be so assertive with other staff. Captain Sandy is too nice, I would have thrown hannah conrad and joao off the ship a long time ago
Also this show really shows the benefits of pretty privellage, someone less conventionally attractive would never have gotten away with the shit these people did, like Kasey fully lying about her cv
