In episode 5 of The Buccaneers, Guy confesses his feelings for Nan after she furiously confronts him. This leads to them kissing (scandy), but she realizes very quickly that it’s a big mistake, leaving Guy and rushing back to Theo. Ironically, Theo already knows of Guy’s feelings for Nan and is trying desperately to keep them apart (oops). Conchita and Richard have decided to split up amicably but keep it a secret from the gang. Mabel and Honoria had a little moment, but Mabel went a little bonkers after, hurting Honoria’s feelings and herself. Lizzy and Jinny were getting tight again until James obviously couldn’t let Jinny have it her way, so he decided to punish her for “betraying” him (yuck).

The Buccaneers is turning out to be a highly quotable period drama that incorporates modern-day situations into the Gilded Age. Not only is it highly entertaining and keeps you waiting with bated breath for whatever is coming next (specifically in that love triangle that’s going to leave us bald from anxiety), but it’s also got some hard-hitting dialogue to keep it from being too airheaded. There’s a lot to unpack in this episode, specifically feelings after a long separation. There’s Guy, who believes his telegram has reached Nan, and then there’s Mabel, who has managed to escape her mother’s dreadful gaze to become “normal” in London. On the other hand, it’s a little bit difficult to figure out what James is trying to play at.

AppleTV’s The Buccaneers is here to give us some really impressive “Tiktok”-worthy dialogue that is simultaneously gut-punching and laughable because of how real it all seems. In the first three episodes, we were introduced to the five girls of New York just as they got shipped off to London, with one married and four looking for suitable matches. Within the 3 episodes, Jinny elopes with “Lord” Seadown, and Nan is engaged to a Duke. But Lizzy is left in a daze after what Seadown did to her and returns to her homeland to recover, feel safe, and get away from the strangeness of England. Mabel, her sister, has found her match in Seadown and Marable’s sister! Conchita decides to return to England with her very English lord because his family is awful and they don’t seem to want to accept her. The Buccaneers Episode 4 takes us back to New York,...

Despite the fun party that awaits back at the St. George residence, various unsaid things cast shadows on what is supposed to be a celebratory event in the fourth episode of “The Buccaneers” titled “Homecoming.”
Mrs. St. George (Christina Hendricks) can’t wait to center her younger daughter, who has snagged a Duke named Theo after he proposed marriage to her at the end of the second episode. But Nan has also recently learned that she was born of one of her father’s dalliances.
“The guests will be arriving any minute and I want to show you off,” she tells Nan, who demands why. “Well because I’m your mother.”
Nan’s sister Jinny spilled the tea about her true identity. The party was also supposed to be for Jinny, but she ended up eloping with Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick). Little does Jinny know what Seadown did to...

Adapted from Ediwth Warton’s unfinished novel, “The Buccaneers” tells the story of several young American women who enter the marriage market between old English society and new American society, determined to go about the pursuit of love their own way, no matter what English customs say. Nan St. George (Kristine Froseth) doesn’t exactly have marriage on her mind until she meets first Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) and later Theo (Guy Remmers). A tense love triangle ensues, because it turns out Twarte and Theo are childhood friends.
Nan’s sister Jinny has her eyes on the prize (marrying a wealthy man), and their childhood friends the Elmsworth sisters also enter the debutante scene, taking all four of them on a trip to England to visit their fifth friend Conchita Closson (Alisha Boe), who weds Lord Richard Marable (Josh Dylan) at the beginning of the first episode.

When someone goes missing, the least they can hope for is that it is noticeable and action is being taken.
For many lost people, the first group to notice they went missing is family, whether a spouse, children, parents, or extended family.
But what happens when you don’t have anyone to notice? What happens when, for whatever reason, people who are supposed to care are not available?
Spoilers for Found Season 1 Episode 3 tease such a case when an unlikely party puts Gabi and her team on a missing person’s case.
Finding a Missing Widower
It is quite possible for someone who enjoyed great social connections throughout their life to find themselves lonely.
As one gets older, the likelihood of that happening increases. As someone loses the energy to maintain relationships, they can fade away.
Sadly, people also lose their loved ones when they die, which can end many.

Many factors affect how society looks at someone; some may create a negative image of someone.
As the show established in the series premiere, Gabi Mosley and her team don't find people who are missing; they find missing people who no one is looking for or does not want to look for.
There is a stigma surrounding sex work in most places in the world because of a myriad of issues associated with sex, and it has become a touchy subject among many people.
When we think of some negative things associated with sex workers, chief among them is the increased risk of STDs, which shows the problem.
Found Season 1 Episode 2 introduced another angle to look at how the stigma surrounding sex work can put someone in direct danger, and the worst part is that there is no one to support them.
