I feel like " I Hate Suzie Too" has ambitiously managed to succeed in doing what Todd Phillips & Joaquin Phoenix naively THOUGHT they were doing whilst making the "Joker" movie (a comparison perhaps intentionally made with the opening sequence); both attempting to show individuals disenfranchised with society driven near mad by the injustice of it. However, "Joker" undoubtedly got it wrong, whereas Lucy Prebble on the other hand gets it totally right, lensing the perception of injustice through the eyes of real-life victims, as opposed to the actual perpetrators so rather than dignifying incel culture (which believes it's victimised & what that box office hit inadvertently did), she & co-creator Billie Piper actually show how women aren't afforded the luxury of publicly breaking like "Arthur Flec"; that indulgence is solely afforded to men, thrust in to the public eye. Hence, this masterfully captures how society puts a disproportionate amount of pressure on those of the female sex to maintain a façade of civility (because acting out would be very unladylike & provoke negative connotations) whereas men can be seen to be aggressive & angry, because it's associated & additionally normalised with their gender.
Hence, this feels far more relevant because it's far more believable & grounded, based on the grim truth of the patriarchy - depicting the dystopia of tragic reality, as opposed to right wing fiction.
