Just this moment finished watching and wondering what other people thought?
I somehow find it simultaneously very shocking and completely unsurprising.
It sort of brought things home to me how ingrained things are in our culture and also how I felt a lot of empathy for Cassie, in terms of when you see utter injustice how it can eat into you and consume everything you do.
Would be interested to hear what others think!

I was pretty pissed off at the ending. Still no justice for Nina. The better outcome would have been that she gatecrashed his wedding and rigged a projector up to screen the video Madison gave her. To show him up in front of his wife and family.

I thought it was excellent. I dismantling off NAMALT with the 'nice' guys. I don't want to say too much as I don't want to spoil it but I feel that the impact was stronger because of the ending.

And yes, I agree. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but I found the waste of life so tragic.

You can watch it on now.tv I think and you can sign up for a free week, fella Wink.

I really want to see this but I don’t think I can yet as I don’t have sky. It looks really good and thought provoking
