What i liked about this show is how the characters identities kept shifting and evolving but ultimately the sexual aspect became ham-fisted, like it was written by a horny 13 year old who imagines women all turn into lesbians as soon as they're left alone together. I couldn't see any basis to the relationship between the two main characters other than they're alone in this house together and bored. The way the blonde girl's abusive relationship with her pompous man was portrayed as empowering because she's just playing dumb left me confused as to how the writer/director wanted me to feel about either character. I saw shades of david foster wallace in the writing but he would have given the characters more defined identities rather than left them as set pieces dancing around the nebulous concept of female empowerment.
So i liked how the characters identifies kept shifting and evolving but ultimately i think the series suffered from their lack of defined identities? That sounds contradictory but they should have reached identity definition at some point which i felt never happened. Maybe it's meditating on how maleable people are and how they adapt to their envorinment but no one tried to side with the robbers which could have made for an interesting subplot so idk.
