They say wisdom comes with age. But sometimes the age comes alone.
I watched an interesting mini-series A Teacher. A 30-year-old teacher falls in love with an 18-year-old student. Feelings are mutual, and technically the guy is an adult, but ... there is always a but, when one of the people entering into a relationship has more authority and power. There will certainly be questions in this place from the point of view of a law that works normally.
Really exciting viewing makes what is happening in the series is shown from different sides, voluminous and provocative.
Moreover, learning the details of the biography of the main characters, you begin to see some patterns: she is the child of an alcoholic father, who lost her mother early and took over her duties. He's a boy from a large family without a father, who? Right - also bears the burden of childless responsibility, being a nurse and father figure for younger brothers with an ever-working mother.
But the trick is that Eric, who has barely crossed the age of consent, is still a teenager by all canons of development. And Claire, by nature and passport, is an adult woman, although she did not have a normal childhood and missed a number of stages of growing up.
Due to this exhibition, the heroes are very sorry, both of them. And the childish way Claire leaks their secret, once again gives her a not very mature personality. However, childishness, alas, is a weak excuse in such a situation.
The drama is aggravated by the fact that the centuries-old cult of toxic masculinity presents a male teenager in the circumstances as a “beautiful”, despite the fact that he, due to his personal emotional characteristics, may well later feel himself not at all handsome, but a victim.
In general, a complex plot, with a well-twisted intrigue and a sobering finale, covering a whole decade from the lives of the characters in just 4 hours.
The moral of the story is clear: being an adult does not mean being an adult, and vice versa. But you have to learn. Sometimes it's a very childish price.
I accidentally came across this mini-series on the Internet. To be honest, this topic is quite interesting to me, even vitally close. Adult, physically blossomed, emotionally stable women who know what they want out of life - it's rewarding. I know that many in the place of the hero would like to be at his age.
Overall, I can’t say the picture was good. The whole story and its emotional basis are built on the inconclusive play of the actors and the plot. A tight-knit and gentle teacher who has seen nothing in her life but study flaunts the school with a good neckline, which reflects her modesty. Immediately, she is ready to rush into the pool of debauchery and saddle her student several times a week.
And the main character is a subtile, constantly smoked and drunk teenager, who is presented as the captain of the sports team. I don't believe it! Here is his tall best friend much better fits into the role of the latter.
Okay, closing our eyes to all the unnaturalities of images and acting, we can say that the story was a success. It was quite interesting to find out at what point and what will lead the characters to the inclined line. In addition to the climax, the story also gave a good script, which shows what happened after the denouement.
Abstract, you can get, no, emotional pleasure from different situations. I really liked the series about a country house - exciting moments of bright, free and carefree youth, where you grow up and allow yourself something new and amazing (for example, from an intimate experience).
I would like to get a slightly different ending, close to happy ending, but everything came down to the dull, albeit justified, reflection of the characters. Such a situation will leave an indelible mark on anyone for life. Getting involved in the problem of the main characters, I can not take sides - here everyone has tried well to break his psyche. But to completely blame this partner is typically immature behavior inherent in children.

The series was conceived as a deep psychological drama - at least judging by the finale. However, a collection of reflections on the unsuccessful first love was obtained with a completely autonomous edifying finale, which indicated the presence of an abuse. And it was a disaster for the series. The failure lies in the absence of a link between the first part, which tells about a sudden feeling between two people of different ages, and the actual unexpected ending, frankly falling out of the plot. After all, for 9 episodes, we were mistaken, it turns out, taking the reflections of the main character for the remnants of that bright feeling, which for him was his first love. We thought he was a guy who was a grown-up guy (18 years old – decision-making time) and was able to appreciate what was happening to him. And it turned out, in contrast to the synopsis, he is a stupid undergrowth, who became a victim of "pedophile seduction and psychological abuse." Although the celebration of Eric’s birthday, filmed as a melodrama, eloquently said that the partners fully understand each other and are absolutely satisfied with themselves and the circumstances in which they fell. . .
The atmosphere of hypocrisy and whipping up psychosis in the central part of the series is especially striking if you remember that the project was shot not in the prudish 70s, but only two years ago and the “morality” about the ties of young men with older women in the world has become, to put it mildly, irrelevant, since such marriages are not so rare. One such “young man” is now the president of a large European country. And probably the hero of the series Eric also as a result would not have become a “broken toy” if the heavy state machine did not walk the skating rink on this, in principle, nothing outstanding pair. The interference of the law in the personal relationships of quite adults made a potentially bright story of a tragedy that the authors were never able to embody on the screen.
Many questions arise to the authors of the script (and there are several of them here) - why did they ignore the police and court proceedings of this story, and confined themselves to reporting punishment? Because this part of the narrative is completely inconsistent with established legal practice and common sense. There is not even a hint of pedophilia and abuse in this story. Yes, such a story could be of interest to the media, who like to dig into someone else’s dirty laundry. But not law enforcement and the judiciary. I assume that the result for the characters would be exactly the same as in the series - the media that shape public opinion, without hesitation, break human lives. And this would be much closer to the truth than getting involved in the plot of the judicial structures. Where are the lawyers who would leave no stone unturned by such accusations? Where is the world’s most democratic democracy? After all, we know that much more serious criminals come out of this water (we were shown this in other TV series!), and then ...
The work of the actors (Kate Mara and Nick Robinson), in connection with the listed punctures of the plot, looks irregular. The actors are good and very realistic and show us the love between the characters. Then comes the indistinct part of the series and it is already unclear what exactly they are playing (but it is completely different from an abuse). Well, the finale is not about acting at all - it seems that we just read the article of a psychotherapist with an expression. I am surprised and disappointed - five minutes of screen time crossed out the entire ten-part narrative, pouring several liters of hypocritical hypocrisy on the viewer - the art project turned into a bad agitation.

The touching drama that informed consent in abusive relationships doesn't work
I think this film is about the Western and American mentality. Because the whole series, up until the last dialogue of the main characters, I watched from the position of “how sorry that these two loving people met so badly” and wished them to be together. I did not see any tears in the relationship between them and believed that the whole disaster was only that their secret became public.
If they met each other a year later, there would be no more this tragedy, but simply an unusual love with a difference in age.
But I, with my Russian mentality, still believe that you can take responsibility for your actions at the age of 17 and, especially, at 18.
And that all of Eric's moral torment is justified. If he had been the cause of the troubles he had caused Claire at 25, he would have suffered as well, but he would no longer have pretended to be a victim.
And America, with its “victim not guilty”, sometimes completely removes the concept of “responsibility” from the second partner, if visually these relations are not equal.
And it seems to me that the main characters in the finale remain each with his own: one with a burning sense of guilt, and the second with a sense of his own impunity. But the question is, this sense of impunity -- would it have come without the morality that society has imposed? Would it be born if he trusted only his own judgment?
Everyone will answer this question for themselves.
I really liked the series, it covered the subject quite well, both subjectively and objectively. We see characters revealing themselves to us and can understand the reasons why they act in one way or another. In fact, we know from the start that this story won't end well, because it never ends well, but we can look behind the curtain, get to know these people and experience it all with them. Of course, we can feel some irritation or sympathy, but still it is much more than the evaluation of people’s actions from the outside, through the eyes of the layman.
I really like actor Nick Robinson, and I learned about him after the movie “Love, Simon”, I think he’s a great actor, and I paid attention to actress Kate Mara after the movie “10 years later”. I didn't expect to see these actors in one shot, but it happened and it was -- ham, it was weird. I don’t know, surprisingly they didn’t look harmonious in the frame, but thanks to this contrast, I believed in history.
So here's what I think about the story itself.
In culture, under the conditions of a global village, the image of a young teacher is that of a man, that of a woman is a sexual object. What can I say, this is one of the clichéd images of sexual fantasies. However, there is a line between the real teacher-student relationship and fantasy. If you cross this line, it will have consequences.
For teenagers, fantasizing about teachers is not uncommon, especially if these teachers are young, attractive, charismatic, intelligent. It is quite common for teenagers to fall in love with those who are older – this is also normal, their feelings are natural, because they have hormones. Adolescence is a time when we are still subject to outside influence, we do not know much ourselves, we learn to be adults, but we already feel a certain “adulthood”, we believe that we have grown up. Teenagers have feelings, emotions, feelings - everything is at its maximum, so this is a really difficult period. You can talk as much as you like about pampered new generations, but everyone has gone through it and will go through it, and it depends on this age how the future life of a person will develop. At this age, sick relationships are often romanticized, destructive behavior can manifest depending on life circumstances. The task of adults is to help them cope with problems, to help them develop themselves, to form their personality, adults should guide them. But, alas, we do not live in an ideal world, in our world there is violence – physical, psychological, sexual. Often, adults are stuck in the past, so they are unable to help and guide new generations.
Claire is one of those adults who didn’t grow up. She puts responsibility on the people around her. Due to the fact that she had to become an adult too early and saw an example of an adult shifting responsibility for herself and her to Claire, she never managed to pass the necessary stages of growing up. She was not taught by example what it means to be responsible for herself. She met the boy and shifted the responsibility for her sex life, which she could not discuss with her husband, to him. And, in the world of adults, unfortunately, like her, accustomed to shifting responsibility to others, not a few.
Eric, too, was someone who grew up early because he played the role of a father to his brothers. He developed beyond his years, not because he was smarter than others or because he studied well, but because he cared for his children, his brothers, and shared responsibility for his family with his parent. He already played the role of an adult, it is not surprising that an adult woman who listens to him, and besides having a pleasant appearance and with an attractive physique for most teenagers, occupied his thoughts.
Eric was right when he said Claire created the whole situation. She behaved like a teenager, called, sent photos, even betrayed their relationship as a typical teenager. That's not how adults behave. Psychological maturation is important in order to avoid such situations. It is always the older ones who are to blame. Because older people have an advantage over younger people, they have authority, they have power. I believe they were attracted to each other, I believe they were really happy. But it's a devastating love because Eric can't live his life again. There will always be something broken. I pity them. It is a pity that adults sometimes cannot be truly adults, as a result of which they interrupt the healthy maturation of others.
The series is worthwhile, makes you think, sympathize with the characters.
Teacher (2020) - a series about sexual abuse in high school with Kate Mara as the main seducer.
In the story, a new English teacher came to school - and the class immediately stunned. Claire is a graduate of a local university, reads poems and has a particularly elegant line of neckline, which does not go without the attention of adult children, vainly trying to find girlfriends for the school ball. Eric immediately falls under her spell - the guy dreams of entering the same university, in his spare time he works in a local diner and clearly needs the help of a tutor.
Claire agrees to private lessons with Eric, but after the first lesson, the teacher juicily jerks off at the image of a teenager before going to bed, and he in turn sees wet dreams with a figure-skating philologist.
What can be done is not lost.
Snapchat, car, hickey on the neck.
Meanwhile, Claire makes friends with a French teacher - colleagues quickly find a common language, but the alleged cover will still leak.
Claire comes up with strict rules about their relationship with Eric is almost impossible to guess, but everything happens in plain sight. In addition, it is inadmissible to persuade their pupils to lie, to teach them to be silent, and therefore not to tell, under fear of destroying the life of an allegedly loved one. Pity is a form of violence.
Maybe the fault of the unstable hormonal background - with a teenager everything is clear, but the teacher after lessons - a frequent guest of the clinic in an attempt to have children with her husband, a musician, learns about the aging of the reproductive system and looks forward to ovulation.
In order not to spoil the sensations of viewing this acutely social plot, it is only necessary to direct the viewer to certain thoughts when watching.
It's always the older man's fault. The ethics of the teacher. It turned out that Claire not only does not know how to keep his word, but with great pleasure violates the rules that she invented. All the fault is either excessive severity to herself, or the uncontrolled libido of a childless woman who does not find support from the closest ones.
And I understand that strong feelings cloud the mind. But on the crest of the wave of a hormonal cocktail, one should be aware of the adequacy and legality of their actions, because no story about seduced students has yet ended in a happy family life.
Ta-dam! So the viewer, on whom the authors counted when creating the series, was ripe for talking about violence against men. For the most part, this formulation is still perceived with hostility in a patriarchal society that boasts sexual activity. But so the conversation about physical violence on the part of a woman generally rarely comes, exceptional cases are needed, but the psychological somehow does not spread. No way. Mental violence is much more traumatic than physical violence. But maybe it is only evil tongues spoken, and then love-love.
A new literature teacher comes to high school. And not some decrepit grandpa or a vicious book-worshipping old maid, but a pretty, pretty Claire Wilson. She is even married, but the couple is in some kind of relationship crisis, everything will be complicated by the problems of conceiving children. And even on the first day in a new school, she finds herself alone in a diner. By coincidence, a couple of her students are here. In an informal setting, they talk, and she agrees to become a tutor for Eric, who wants to continue his medical studies. But at some point, additional classes to prepare for exams are threatened: it is difficult for both to control themselves, because they want each other, no matter how dangerous and forbidden passion is.
The series grew out of the eponymous film of the same director – Hannah Fidel, which was released earlier somehow did not win much recognition. Is it about the accents or the way you serve? The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Screen time of the series allowed more walking in the representation of the story. However, the feeling that not all episodes managed to promote in full, remains due to jumps in time: they are somewhere marked, and somewhere absolutely released. It was possible to safely add a couple of episodes to close the gaps in the story and maybe a little more to reveal the characters from other sides, making them a little more difficult. To focus as much as possible on the inner, as well as to avoid any deliberately sexual overtones, the appearance of the characters is quite typical, average: without obvious sexualized details. They may not be as complex as they could be, but at least they are not abstract objects of someone’s imagination. Everything connected here with eroticism is tied to the personalities of the characters and how they perceive each other. In any case, all erotic or so episodes quickly fade away, leaving a quite obvious and tangible drama. A special place in it is occupied by an invariable attribute of the current time - the phone. This is our whole life and a hiding place at the same time. And social networks are not just an easy way to interact, but a specific display of our lives, where one click changes the format of relations, and interests become public.
With due attention and perseverance, calculating the nature of the relationship with a particular subscriber is a trifling matter, and in this case, fraught. Therefore, you need to follow certain rules so that no one knows that others, much stricter ones, have been violated. And if the guy has a little more vague ideas about this, given that the average fantasy of a teenager has acquired physicality and awareness of himself as a man has given wings, then the woman is quite clearly aware of the full force of consequences. Her story is told from and before - there is no doubt about her motives, why she got involved in this story in principle. No strong feeling or even fleeting passion here does not smell of the word at all. The whole sequence of her actions is a clear destruction of the existing reality of her life, which she does not like. It is despicable to use an unsuspecting person for this, taking advantage of his inexperience. Regarding the guilty and responsible in this story, the question does not even arise: the teacher, at least, knows the basics of adolescent psychology. There is no doubt about it. But the arch of the boy remains not fully open. The context of his meager experience is quite obvious: fatherlessness raised by his mother in the best modern traditions with a physically respectful attitude towards women and the pressure of stereotypes of the male world, which takes into account the quantity and quality of sexual experiences. The state of the hero is more ephemeral and not so strongly felt. From that and the problem of both the series and the situation: for her the consequences are quite tangible and material, for him it is something subtle and not fully understandable even to him. Like the creators of the series, too, because the most important moment of realizing the impact of the story on the hero, they simply release a dry residue embedded in his meager replicas.
Recommended: for trainings on the prevention of sexual harassment and others.
Dangerous: in search of ideas for sexual fantasies.

It's been 4 days since I saw the credits for the final series. I'm still impressed. The oppressive feeling of devastation does not leave me, no matter how I try to distract myself - thoughts willy-nilly return to this picture. Although I don’t have the biggest baggage of movies, I haven’t had such a long effect. This series is truly unique.
30-year-old Claire Wilson (Kate Mara), mired in routine and not the most successful marriage, gets a job at school as a teacher of English literature. She meets one of her students, Eric Walker (Nick Robinson), and the characters fall in love. What will this attraction lead to?
The first half I thought it was a banal TV series, not shining psychology and a heavy, but well-revealed topic. She believed, like many, that the characters had perfect chemistry and romanticized their relationship. But it was a mistake. Later, the cruel truth hit the head.
The subject of abuse and manipulation, control and use of Eric, spiritually still a child who believed in a sincere, previously unknown love on the part of Claire, is raised. All for your own pleasure and a false sense of freedom and life. There is no real, healthy love here. She was obliged, not only as a teacher, but also as an adult, not to give vent to feelings.
The climax takes the story from a naive tale to a sobering reality. Next, the consequences of this connection, the deep reflections of the heroes, the torment of conscience are shown.
The final scene brings the characters together again to say the exciting, necessary words. The last shots caused a storm of emotions in me, forever left their imprint in the soul, opening their eyes to such an important, really existing topic.
When re-watching, all the details become noticeable, immersing in the story even more. The amazing acting is absorbing and amazing, you believe in everything that happens. I want more relevant and social work like Hannah Fidel did. I want people to understand that this is not a love story, this is the story of two broken souls.

Watched a movie, and it boiled. I wanted to talk about it.
It feels like the film was being budgeted for a social program that wanted to show that teacher-student sexual relations are bad. Only the creator of this work coped with his task through his sleeves. Something seems to be close to the topic, but the meaning is not clear. It was possible to develop a really dramatic story.
As far as the film is concerned, that is not the case!
First of all, in my understanding, ' a nondescript person' is one that no one immediately pays attention to. Not the one that students call 'hot thing'!
Secondly, I somehow did not find in the guy signs ' developed beyond his years'. It’s just an ordinary high school senior.
Third, catastrophic? Really? What the situation has turned out to be for her is of course tough. But, as far as I can tell from the cinema, for Americans, these are quite common expected consequences. And the reason for them in this scenario is not love, but one stupid mistake, as well as their legislation and culture.
As for the consequences for the guy - here the topic was not even tried to disclose. Logically, because the film is called 'Teacher' and not 'The Apprentice'. Although, it would seem, if we proceed from the idea of the socio-propaganda goal of this film, as well as from the final scene - this should have been a priority.
After the climax, the development of catastrophe waited until the end of the last series. It seemed that the scenario of events quite clearly leads to this. But, alas, expectations were not met. And the final scene gives the impression that you are sitting in a cafe next to one of the characters, and together you try to realize: '.
The behavior of the heroes is understandable. A young man with a lack of relationship experience and a teacher who didn’t get that experience at a younger age, which she mentions several times. Based on how the relationship began and proceeded, it is difficult to say that one of their participants subjected the other to abuse, even without wanting it. The way they ended looks natural and the further behavior of the heroine, due to her feelings for herself, as well as the added environment determines her behavior, as well as the behavior of the hero. However, the last series do not make it clear why the hero decided that this relationship destroyed his mentality and at what point in time, this ending does not seem suitable for me, I expected a calmer conversation with some sort of reflection and a few cups of coffee, and received mutual accusations and fixation on my thoughts about the experience, but this is just my opinion.
It's not a very normal time to study, uh, the sexual relationship between a teacher and her 17-year-old student. Ironically, if you changed the gender of the characters, the series would be branded in all mortal sins. In the current version, you can consider a sluggish, cool drama - exactly drama. The bright role of Kate Mara is not enough to promote a plot that is constantly stalling, and what could become an unpleasant, even vile spectacle, turns into a safe tale of reflection and self-digging. Nevertheless, to the credit of the series, after the first series, it causes genuine interest.
The central problems of the "Teacher" script are discovered pretty quickly. Between the teacher Claire, indifferent to her marriage, and the developed guy Eric, sexual tension arises. The dynamics of their relationship, clearly uncharacteristic of typical mentoring, should look squeamish (given the disclaimer about sexual abuse of minors), but in practice it is similar to the plot of a porn film: elegant, but with taste.
There's also a bit of a superstructure in "Teacher." In the first two episodes, we are introduced to the heroine: thirty-year-old Claire withers in a relationship with an infantile and boring husband, and also accepts an offer to tutor with an excellent student Eric - he is from a poor family and he has no money for additional classes. Although Claire tries to keep professional distance, a sexual incident is inevitable, right in the back of her car. At first you can see the complexity of the dynamics: their relationship is forbidden and therefore secret. Claire is neither a psychopath nor a manipulator; on the contrary, she even develops her young lover. But soon everything falls apart. They decided to add drama to the plot, and cardinal, because of which the narrative changes dramatically and from something promising, the script falls into the grayness of the reflection of the characters, who, in fact, have nothing to reflect on.
Stylistically and narratively, "The Teacher" encourages you to immerse yourself in the illusion that this is both first love for Eric and real love for Claire, but this is also presented quite strangely. It is clear that the creators of these emotional approaches and the sharp plot decisions described above wanted to avoid the trap of clichés. But there is one episode that can be called intermediate. It could well have been used to maximise drama... but it doesn’t. Everything is limited to rather uncomfortable dialogue, and the desire of the show to evade theatricality ultimately harms the narrative, because simply do not get to find ways to empathize with the heroine. Instead, "Teacher" spends time on homegrown psychoanalysis, including a story about Claire's alcoholic father. Then Claire discovers the joy of “kitchen” BDSM, but even this does not result in a banal erotic thriller. Finally, the heroine tests her feelings for strength and the finale follows: very ambiguous and ambiguous, but still curious when viewed in the context of the whole story.
“Teacher” is a series in something shocking and breakthrough, but not in everything. It seems that they wanted to make it both contradictory and straightforward: nevertheless, there is emotion in the final product, but there is no spark. There are many ways to show the imbalance of partners (including sexual) in a relationship without tipping the scales towards exploitative (or pornographic, khe-khe) cinema: Richard Eyre’s “Scandalous Diary” comes to mind. “Teacher” deliberately refuses style, insight and even openly sexual questions: the miniseries, perhaps, is not bad conceptually and cinematically, but morally outdated for fifteen years.

I found out about this series on one of the portals, it was positioned there as dramatic. I was interested and decided to watch it. The beginning was controversial for me, after the first series I wanted to stop watching, as the series gave the impression of a pseudo-romantic vanilla opera, where everything was predictable and nothing new was expected to see. But I decided to continue and did not lose.
The series is divided into two parts: the first is an immersion in the relationships of the main characters, the second is a consequence of these relationships. The series says that nothing can do without consequences, even if it seems that rose-colored glasses will never crack. It was a wonderful ending, not disappointing at all, which I was afraid of; I was expecting some vulgarity. The series is really able to make think of those who somehow could be in a similar situation.
The cast was very pleased, the director too. Many hidden, at first glance, moments. I definitely recommend watching. The only reason I lower the score is for the abundance of bed scenes. Yes, it was difficult to do without them, but it was possible to make them smaller.

Overall impression: The teacher is a person who puts knowledge into us, he helps to learn new things, opening the world of science to each door. But what to do when the student has feelings for the teacher, but also she does not mind sympathy. Love? Passion? Or is it an uneducated behavior?
Claire (Kate Mara) lives a normal life, goes to work, has dinner with her husband in the evenings. Eric (Nick Robinson) is a high school senior, he recently turned 18, worries are just waiting for him, however, the guy is smart beyond his years. Helps his mother around the house, because he is an older brother and spends time with a pretty girl. But everything changes when she comes into his life. ..
When I started watching 'Teacher', an intriguing synopsis and small timekeeping caught my attention. Only 1 season, 10 episodes, where each goes from strength 24 minutes, you can even watch an evening. But the series on Kinopoisk came out through time, I had to wait for a curious continuation. The situation was heated with each episode, as you understand the secret about the relationship between the teacher and the student came out, and since our society is very fond of judging. That all led to catastrophic consequences, alas, but time cannot be reversed.
The series waltzes incrementally, which in principle is logical for the series. But in the latter (I am sure that we are waiting for a continuation, otherwise I will be disappointed), everything was somehow quickly hushed up, it seemed that some pieces were missing, but this did not affect my opinion. The philosophy of the picture is clear as God’s day, 1 misdemeanor can change the fate of a person, depriving him not only of joy, leading to depression, but also to break life.
'Teacher' - a provocative drama about gender stereotypes, makes the viewer understand that not always age is a hindrance, but no one has canceled mistakes.

“Teacher” is a representative of a new serial trend about a special kind of psychological violence, subtle and sophisticated, when the victim, the viewer and even the author of violence (abuser) do not always immediately realize the tragedy and irrevocability of this kind of relationship and their consequences.
The creators intentionally romanticize the first part of the story, using classic melodrama techniques - beautiful sensual shots, lyrical soundtrack, sharp intrigue, which naturally leads to full emotional involvement of the viewer and empathy for the heroes of the series.
Therefore, the denouement of the story, the final dialogue of the heroes, seems to be a kind of cold shower, a blow to the head. From Eric’s mouth we hear things that we already subconsciously understood but refused to accept until the last moment. At first glance, the tacit physical and mental compulsion on the part of Claire, Eric’s teacher, entails catastrophic and destructive consequences for his fate.
Particular attention is paid to the fact that society often refuses to take a man seriously as a victim. If we turn the situation 180 degrees and put a man in the place of the teacher and a girl in the place of the student, then we do not need 10 episodes to understand how this story ends.
The creators do not hide their unequivocally condemning position, as well as the moralizing task of this series. Each episode ends with the words, “If you or someone you know needs support, know you’re not alone.” . . "
As a result, we have a kind of psychological study on the topic of abuse, codependency, as well as the consequences of emotional violence.
