medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No

Feels like it was written in the eighties and lightly updated to the early aughts. I did like parts of it, but overall this had problematic stuff that's awful hard to look over.
Lots of casual misogyny, heavily defined gender roles, copaganda, poor treatment of houseless folks, overblown reactions to weed, and an underage sex scene between a 14&16yo that was was VERY descriptive and felt gross (I fast forwarded through it, what I did hear made me feel incredibly icky).
