0:35 Must be so difficult to get out of those shackles and the stocks

[jimkasprak]

This punishment is called the pillory, some pain after several hours but more about humiliation, it was considered the less severe form of corporal punishment. The next one was whipping, a much more severe punishment.

[nomedigaasi]

Even though she is correct, please don’t poke the bear again! 😂

[jimliu]

Back in the Jamestown days, people had perfect white teeth and beautiful hair….!

[Rkenton]

I'm sorry. Do the producers of this show really believe this is what women in Jamestown looked like? Make-up, conditioned/permed/dyed hair, plucked eyebrows, impeccable fashionable clothing?

[lurkerrekrul]

Where did they get the elephant shackles from?

[GRF_DB]

I tend to find that restraints 9x larger than the wrists are the most effective. /sarcasm

[MollyBrown]

Why doesn’t she just pull her hands out of those shackles?

Where is this supposed to be happening? Jamestown, the Virginia colony, was famously in a coastal swamp. No hills, just bog and malaria.

Everyone here seems to have some weird impressions that this scene is funny. Most of the audiences don't seem to get the pettiness and stupidity of medieval European and their courts. In this period, the governers and his men held absolute power in trial, there is no court of justice as we are today. If you're peasants or commoners, be prepared to be punished by the governer or the lord of the land, should you commit the slightest offence. The justice courts are only for the wealthy and the nobles. The crimes of this girl is ridiculous. Verity is being punished for disrespecting her husband. Disrespecting of what? Her husband doesn't deserve respect as he is drunkard and cheater yet she is punished for reprimanding her husband gets caught and being drunk.

[baldbollocks]

No too genuine. All the chick's wearing makeup not appropriate for the time, and so on

[Washington-Dreaming]

The movie “The Stockade.” It’s about an 18th-century software program that helped make investment decisions. Har, har.

[jedionboard]

Perfect hair, skin, teeth, , , , um, , , not really real history here.

[jackwu]

That’s it??? Where’s the whipping and caning???

[Kharmazov]

Well that's one way of dealing with feminism.

[scottehlert]

Ah the republikkkon party's favorite movie only second to the handmaid's tale

[uhtredbebbanbourgh]

I mean, she was kinda asking for it 🤷

[mikem]

This seems like the beginning of the republicans party

[barneyohara]

JESUS loves you and died for your sin and on the third day he rose again repent and trust in him
