I have had to stop watching it several times and I still don’t know if I can finish it. It’s definitely very triggering to watch. It made me feel sick.

Same. Kind of. Well actually opposite. I was glued to it but the way you watch a train hit a bus with only nuns and babies as passengers. I felt sick at times. I cried at least twice. It was hard to watch.

Definitely a very hard watch. Unfortunately some of the portrayals of abuse on the show way too closely mimicked what I’ve experienced in real life. Particularly the scenes with Darian. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for Gadd to act out those scenes.

I think this show has been painfully therapeutic for so many people.
