I watched the first three episodes back to back. It is riveting and thought-provoking, speaking to the trauma on multiple levels of the abused and the abuser. I did not at all get the message that victims become murderers, but I have read multiple times through the years that people who grew up with abuse can turn to a life as abuse. As the episodes unfold, you get a bird's-eye view of what the original trauma of the main character was. And she has every right to be furious. I highly recommend this show. It's multi-layered with several story lines running at once. So far, we've been let in on what some of the intricacies and relationships are, but not all. I definitely have a show to look forward to now after our last day back at school. I can't wait to talk to my teacher friends about this show.
Congratulations! You are helping to make it harder for victims of domestic violence to be taken seriously. As a woman who was stalked and terrorized for seven years before law enforcement would do anything, I can tell you that such a life is a nightmare. And no, I did not become a serial killer. I just learned to keep my doors locked.
The show uses its female characters to send very contradictory, confusing and mixed messages which violence against women is okay. It’s as if it’s a pro BDSM show based on what I’ve seen so far but it’s too chickenshit to actually make clear that’s what the creator advocates.
I definitely agree that very often those who have been exposed to and are the victims of violence learn how to DO violence, against self and others. Mostly women are not allowed the same “rights to be violent“ that men are, so it comes out in other forms. The vicious cycle repeats.
