Also some really great (tragically current) commentary on abortion, and the very real fear of alzeimer's and memory loss.
I did want it to be a lil' spookier though, I feel like it kinda sold itself as horror/thriller and the premise could have easily allowed for some more creepy elements

Spoiler
- Wtf was that ending! I low key expected it because there were hints all the way through but it was so sudden!
- I really wanted it to turn out to be supernatural
- Still not entirely sure about the dreams- trauma or was Ed starting to show symptoms of dementia like his dad?
- Did we ever find out who was murdered in the playground a few generations before?
- Was the traveller man at the fair actually the reverend?
