I know. It's tough because part of me kind of missed the conflict between them (and therefore more focus on the marriage) this season, but then I also liked the more loving relationship they finally had. So I kind of like the idea of conflict (?) but not so much conflict that they're in danger. And it's still kind of sad to me that Elizabeth has never told Philip she loves him.
I hope the show comes back in late January like S1. This past time we really had to wait like 10 months. If it starts in January, it's really only like 8, and then photos from filming, episode titles, and other tidbits will start emerging in just a few months.
Edited to add: I think what was most upsetting to me in season one was the idea of outsiders in their marriage--it could actually be interesting to watch in a different way if it wasn't an outside threat but more of an internal one because of the real differences in their viewpoints. It could be good conflict to watch them try to navigate that while also wanting to be married to each other.
