maybe laced with 4 or 5 good metaphors, the rest was dogshit. horrifically dehumanising depictions of mental illness, all deaths lack any depth of emotion, a paedophile that gets off without punishment whilst constantly dehumanising her victim??, blatant lesbophobia, every character is obsessed with sex in a way that contradicts and overshadows almost all of their other personality traits.Graphic: Death, Rape, Sexual assault, Child abuse, Suicide, and Lesbophobia
Moderate: Alcohol
