too much paris screen time + weird as fuck that it was not once mentioned he assaulted his sister before stabbing her 17 times, i had to google that to find out, changed the entire tone of rehabilitation. i hope you rot

This was bad. They didn’t go into any detail about the crime. There were some good moments where you could tell something was not right with the grandma, but the timeline was all over the place. Hope she feels better
