You can really tell who's lucky enough not to have lived through the kind of generational trauma depicted in this show based on people's ratings.
Instead of victim blaming and accusing the characters of being stupid and making bad decisions, you should really just be THANKFUL AF that you weren't able to relate to any of it, because this is so many people's reality. You can judge the characters all you like but it says more about you than it does about them. Namely, that you're incapable of feeling empathy for anyone you can't personally relate to. And lack of empathy is a huge factor in why these situations play out the way they do in real life.
Some of y'all need a serious wake up call to the struggles that exist outside your privileged personal bubbles.

The acting, sets and locations were amazing, however its the story which is haunting me. The fact this story has resonated with so many people is comforting yet also heartbreaking. I WAS that mother. Same age, same socio-economic position, same partner, dysfunctional parents. I loved nature. The thing that hurts the most is I had the same potential. I had university scholarships but was still too poor to finish. I'm still essentially a 'Maid'. But my son is at University. This story hurts my soul. Not all stories are meant to make you feel good but that is so many peoples realities. This Series is about LIFE. And that is why it is amazing.
I love this show. It caught me completely by surprise. It's never predictable and always feels genuine, authentic. The writer finds a beautiful line - never fully glorifying or demonizing anyone. Everyone has a heart. Everyone has a story.
I've read the reviews, the bad and the good, the bad reviews all said that the protagonist is very stupid, and makes stupid decision after another, and how that is not how life is, that is just not the case, this is exact what this story needs, because in real life, we regret decisions everyday, bad things happen, and you tell yourself: "God! How was I so stupid, why didn't I do this instead, how didn't I see that coming?" We can all relate to that feeling if it came to being betrayed, wasting money or time and especially domestic abuse. And the protagonist has that moment, when she falls back with her abuser, and she realized it was a bad decision, she breaks down and says: how could I be so stupid?
One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Beautifully written and amazing how it pulls on your heart strings. And all the drama felt very real and believable. So all in all, amazing show.
8/10: amazing.
