I have seen a few excellent series in the course of the past yesr or two. The one I am watching now is Sex &Drugs & Rock & Roll by FX. Contrary to the title, it really is a story of love and redemption, of a daughter’s dedication to her relationship with her father as well as her decdication to her own self and soul.
Along the way, however, it shows a wonderfully witty satirical view of the world of music when the characters are over 50, after their careers drifted in different directions or fizzled out.
I love these series that are unashamed of youthful indulgences. If you had multiple partners, own it. If you were not monogamous, own that, and if you used drugs, whether legal or illegal, whether for recreational or medical use, do not repudiate that either.
Most of us have changed or been changed by life, and sobriety is an aspect of maturity to some extent, but do not make it into a fetish or some sort of moral high ground. Every one has the right to experiment and experience life in all of its aspects. How can you define yourself without challenging boundaries at some point and making devisions that come from your own heart? Furthermore, a list of prohibitions will not make you an ethical human being, and actually may reduce your ability to feel compassion.
I have watched the first episode of the second season now, in which Ava looks at a video of her youthful self and announces she wants a threesome. Her young self had threesomes. She wants to experience that again.
