Showtime’s miniseries “The
Loudest Voice” finished up on
Sunday, and I’m really glad I
watched it. The parts about the
inception of Fox News are valu-
able, as we get to see Roger Ailes,
powerfully played by Russell
Crowe, essentially build a media
outlet to milk fears and exploit
prejudices. When we analyze the
current state of politics, a time
when the president of the United
States accuses the Clintons of in-
volvement in the death of Jeffrey
Epstein in order to fan his base,
the story of Fox News is endlessly
relevant.
Once Ailes is pushed out of the
fold in the finale, for his abuse of

women, you realize that it doesn’t really matter whether Ailes is still employed. The monster is already on the loose, with or without him. In an interesting coinci- dence, “The Loudest Voice” finished on the night “Succession” returned for season 2, with its portrayal of a screwed-up media family that looks a lot like the Murdochs. The material about Ailes’s abuse in the seven episodes is less successful that the creation of Fox; the scenes of Ailes taking ad- vantageofthosewhoworkedfor him are overbaked and, at times, oddly surrealistic. I’m not sure those moments when he is hurt-

ing someone are the best ones to hyperstylize. Also, some of the prosthetics are poorly done, so that you never really feel as though you’re watching Ailes’s wife, Beth, so much as a plastic facsimile. But still, it’s a fascinat- ing miniseries. After the finale, Alex Metcalf, the showrunner of the miniseries, told the Hollywood Reporter that there would not be a second season. “In a few years, you could do the Fox News sequel, but that story is still being told — the Fox News relationship with Trump and what happens with that,” he said. “But we won’t know how that ends for a little while.”

Q.My ex-girlfriend and I were together for a year and a half in college. As gradu- ation approached, things soured. I don’t take full blame for our breakup, but I will say I lit the match that ignited it. She was moving to a new city and I was leav- ing the US for the year. That type of un- steady foundation made it almost impos- sible for us to build a life together. This breakup happened more than a year ago. In that time, I have slept with other people and seriously dated one other. My subsequent girlfriend was incredible and I was in love with her. Cir- cumstances ended that relationship; I know it wasn’t my fault or hers, just one of those things. Now I am single and taking stock of my personal life. I have noticed that there has been one constant thing in my life — that I haven’t really fallen out of love with that first ex-girlfriend. Even when I was in love with another, I still thought about her. Sometimes I think I’m a bad person because I don’t know if you can love two people. But for a time, I really think I did. I tried everything I could to get over her (that’s how I found Love Letters and your podcast!), but even when I felt disconnected from her, I knew in my heart I still loved her. Basically, what I want to ask you is: Can exes reconcile? I feel external pres- sure to just move on and forget about her. People in my life tell me it’s over and that I should forget the past. But what if I believe my past is my future? We are still going to live in different places for the foreseeable future, so I’m still unsure how we could even be together. But I think I just want to know if such a thing is even possible before I entertain how to do it. A CONFLICTED ROMANTIC

A.People get back together all the time. I’msurethereareabunchofpeoplein the comments section who can tell you that at least for a short time, their part- ners were their exes. Usually, when a second (or third) try works, it’s because something has changed. Someone has a new set of pri- orities, or maybe a distance gap has been

closed. In your case, what would be different? Are you asking for something you weren’t ready for before? Do you intend to move at some point? Would she? Is there any way to see her right now? Also, how comfortable have you been as a single person? How much of this has to do with a need to feel like someone’s waiting in the wings, no matter what? You say you love her, but you need to think about what you mean when you say that. Sometimes nostalgia feels like love. Sometimes when we long for a person, we’re really missing a specific period of our lives — like college. You wouldn’t be able to go back to what you had with this woman. It would have to be something new. I don’t want you to show up in this woman’s life if you plan to hover without an agenda. That would not be kind. If you reach out, you should know what you’re asking for, even if it’s just the chance to see her for a weekend. Do not start with “I love you.” It’s too much. MEREDITH

READERSRESPOND:

1) Is she single? 2) Does she have any interest in being with you? 3) If both an- swers are yes, are you willing to alter you life’s path and go live in the same city? Without these questions answered, your entire letter is hyper-romantic thinking that leads to nothing more than fanta- sies. HEYITHINK

I think you are too in love with the idea of being in love. For example, people may be lonely or lost and think the cure-all is to go back to an ex. An ex who has been out living her life and with whom the end- ing was less than great. JIVEDIVA

Go back and look at why you ignited the match in the first place. Those issues are probably still there. ASH
