To the top rated, one-star buzz killer who complained about not knowing how much truth is in this story, if you had watched the whole thing (including the final credits), you would have learned. Also, to the less experienced or habitually poor writers everywhere, please break up your ideas into more readable paragraphs. These days I just skip a lot of the crowded globs of sentences written by people who obviously aren't thinking much about readability and thought-out punctuation in their solipsistic and run-on communications. (BTW, twenty-somethings are not "adolescents" any more. Perhaps a lot of the low ratings are from people who don't have enough life experience to appreciate some of life's more mysterious, human-cultural quirks? Not your fault... please, just give yourself more time to gain more insight and humility in what you haven't learned, yet.) IMO, this story was somewhat interesting at first, then got increasingly weird and interesting, eventually ending with well thought out, fuller character development. To me, the highlight of this series is the acting and the direction. I was totally surprised by who's playing Anna, who I already loved in previous roles, but didn't even realize it might be her until the second episode. Her character here is so different from previous roles, and her face is made up so differently from before that I had to look up her bio to prove to myself that this was the actor whom I only suspected she was. I don't even care to know at this point how real the full story is... it stands on its own as belonging in the top five productions of the past year for me. If you hang on long enough, you'll see some great humor in this story, wonderfully brought out by all the actors. Trigger warning for deeply fashionable audiences who care so much about appearances in dress and other personal, physical features, whether of their own or of others in their culture: There's a lot of lampooning of people's vanity in this story that I love. I admit, fashion, trendiness, and caring about how the public perceives me is pretty low on my list of priorities. But I do understand how appearances and fitting-in are supremely important to adolescents... that's just a natural, human trait, for better and for worse, with all its pride-derived pleasure, and early anxieties.
