Because in order to even build some hopeful vision of something better or someone better, you also need to know what&#x27;s wrong. In a lot of ways this show is a deconstructive act of looking at the tropes of love, the ideas about love and relationships that we&#x27;ve had and very popular in Hollywood, like the knight in shining armor. And it&#x27;s like, well, that&#x27;s actually not a relationship. That&#x27;s a fantasy, and that&#x27;s objectification,&quot; he noted.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Charlotte Ritchie and Penn Badgley.
