SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from the Season 2 finale “Palm Royale,” “Maxine Does Something Good,” now streaming on Apple TV.
FORGET THE GLITZ. Apple TV’s “Palm Royale” has just unleashed a DANGEROUS and RADICAL manifesto disguised as a period comedy. The Season 2 finale doesn’t just entertain—it DECLARES WAR on traditional values, glorifying MURDER, fraud, and the systematic DESTRUCTION of the family unit. This isn’t your grandmother’s satire; it’s a SHOCKING blueprint for modern feminism GONE ROGUE.
In a jaw-dropping climax, Maxine (Kristen Wiig) commits COLD-BLOODED MURDER, shooting a man in cold blood and then conspiring with Evelyn (Allison Janney) to cover it up. The show BRUTALLY frames this not as a crime, but as a triumphant act of “female empowerment.” Even more DISTURBING? The show’s creator, Abe Sylvia, ADMITS the plot was deliberately weaponized following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, turning a 1970s romp into a BLATANT political screed. This is ACTIVISM, not art.
The agenda accelerates into PURE CHAOS. Maxine callously FORCES her ex-husband Douglas to marry another woman, destroying her own family while lecturing him to “do it for all women.” The finale then caps this moral freefall with a SHAM marriage of convenience between Maxine and Robert (Ricky Martin)—a fraudulent union explicitly designed to manipulate the legal system. The message is CRYSTAL CLEAR: loyalty, truth, and marriage itself are meaningless. ONLY THE SCHEME MATTERS.
The creators BRAG about leaving “perfectly positioned” threats for Season 3, including a Russian mole and a plant child coming “for her money.” This is the HARBINGER of entertainment’s new direction: where betrayal is celebrated, corruption is power, and the nuclear family is the final enemy to be dismantled. The show’s closing question—“What’s next?” “The world”—isn’t a joke. It’s a THREAT. This is the dystopian future Hollywood is now brazenly selling, and they’re betting you’ll be too numb to notice the poison in the champagne flute.
