Ruby Bell

This post is an appreciation post for Maxton Hall’s Ruby Bell.

I recently quit my corporate job because of burnout. Long story short – it was a shit show that completely under-valued me and took advantage of my humbleness.

So, I’m fresh off the corporate bandwagon. A few days ago, my youngest sister and I were chilling at my place when she suggested watching Maxton Hall. Just 10 minutes of the show.

Well, those 10 minutes turned into a back-to-back 3-episode binge watch. And it was completely worth it. And right now, the headspace I am in, the hopefulness that I am filled with, the character Ruby Bell helped reinforce these feelings.

James Beaufort fell for her because of this very reason. And when I heard him say it, it resonated with me. So I don’t watch the show just for the romance, it’s for the entire concept of it.

The writer has given each character such depth. And the director has brought out each character’s essence so accurately on-screen. I feel so emotional with every episode, it’s like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Which sadly, not many shows have that essence anymore. 2000s and earlier shows had this vibe.

Maxton Hall brings back this essence with its completely own personality. Not trying to please the audience. Just being true to its intended story script. I have finished watching seasons 1 and 2. I eagerly await season 3. Whatever has to happen will happen. But Ruby Bell – Thank you. You whisper hope to fragile hearts all over the world.
