Weird & darkly humorous. Found myself entranced but also struggled to feel as though some of the emotional dynamics taking place between characters were earned.

I loved how weird this was at times, but also still relatable. I read transcripts all day, but I still enjoyed reading the transcripts here. Greta was a messy character and I respected her just bobbing along, seeing where life takes her. Big Swiss was a strong force. And I wasn’t squeamish at the sex scenes because they were so damn funny.
