Creepy and Repulsive, But You Can't Look Away
22 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Well if the point was to make her absolutely repulsive, I was all in at episode 4 (although I gotta admit if she had bashed the head of...I would have gotten some vicarious satisfaction, not that I think anyone should be bashing in or getting bashed in by anyone - at least no one in particular).

Anyway, by E6, I was glad SOMEONE was paying attention. I do like that the socialworker passionately defended broken children. I think that was needed among the chaos.

But by the end of this, Dre, to me, was as ugly on the outside as she was on the inside. No matter what made her, she was irretrievably broken, a sociopath that would stop at nothing.

Some people are complaining about the ending, but they really need to pay attention to episode 6 and they'll understand the ending.

It was good and stayed with me. I still have the strange feeling 24 hours later that it gave me.

By the way, most of the men along the way we're actually nice to her. Yeah, Khalid was a player and all; but overall the men were helpful and not all pigs as men are often portrayed. I noticed that.

Also, don't miss Micheal Jackson's daughter in E2 or the trump dig in the episode that a famous Obama wrote!

While Billie Elish did shine her creepy in the therapy sessions (not so much in other scenes), it was Dominique Fishback who absolutely glowed. Watch that tilt of her head and that sly look when she says, "yeah" (I hurt someone) - absolutely chilling.
