I feel like so many people unnecessarily hyperventilate about the actions rather than looking into the why. Writer brings a very complicated story of very scarred, broken people whom of course, we automatically hate. Rather than quickly condemn the characters flaws, trying viewing with the lens of compassion.

Looking at the characters, their past, their reason of actions brings to life the complexities of humanity. These people did not wake up and decide they were gonna act as is. Look at the path. Humanize the characters. Although it seems like viewers takes the story at its face value of the actions, and rated it as such, it’s too bad. There’s lots of depth that if people would be open minded to, then it’s a story that is sad and thoughtful.

The cast are exceptional. I think everyone delivered and their performance is worthy of applause. I’m saying it’s okay to feel about the actions of the characters per se, but don’t put down the entire production because of it. Give the show a try.

Scored low on rewatching because I know what I need to know so most likely not to.
