Some of the drama in episode 4 of A Small Light bothered me because several times the Miep character was freaking out and screaming outside while the Jan character (her husband) was like "the rational one calming her down." I bet she was more outwardly quiet than that in real life, but the repetition of that formula in films & television (man calms down hysterical female character) did not ring as true to me. Not that it would never have happened, but I just noticed that was something I didn't quite believe. I have doubts that she would have needed to be lectured at so much. Jan the character can be a bit lecturesome in this show, sometimes.
