I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. Matty is the transgender son of a woman whose daughter died of a heroin overdose and whose son is on the run for a murder she actually committed. He’s dating a woman who had a child at 16 with his stepfather, left said child in a phone box when he was a day old, later tried to go on the run with said child and, when she came back, burnt her friend’s father to death before having a relationship with the long-lost son of her child’s father - who cheated on her with her now-partner’s mother.
All this drama - and they’re still the most fucking boring couple in the history of television.
