I am a domestic violence survivor, this show was tough to watch, needless to say. The helplessness, the loss of self, gas lighting ourselves. To me, what this show is about to it’s core, is breaking generational trauma. The protagonist was struggling to break this pattern, growing up watching her mom be with abusive men over and over again and still to this day watching it. Why do you think she was attracted to the antagonist in the first place? We all make subconscious choices based on what we grew up with or saw our parents do, we internalized it and normalized it and make decisions based on it.
