Cw: death by drowning, incest discussion, incarceration, descriptions of abuse and police violence, discussion of racism, PTSD and disassociation

Welcome to the new era (aka the Queen is dead), peasants. Today we do a deep dive into the trauma of Victor Hugo’s daughter’s death, its effect on Hugo’s “squalid” sexual behaviour and Valjean’s treatment of Cosette. Andrew Davies comes up again. It kind of ruins the whole rest of the episode, and our ongoing love of Valjean, ngl.
