I Hate Suzie

4 episodes in I kinda did hate Suzie... stick it out though. It's a really great at showing what women have to go through in today's world! Loved it by the end.

Susie isn't exactly the anti-hero, but she isn't the hero either- no one is. All the main characters have flaws and are complex. I enjoyed the quirkinesses of this series which was unlike anything else I'd ever watch. It's not so much a comedy as a dark drama. Excellent acting throughout.

The low rating and the poor reviews are baffling, especially when this series has been well-reviewed elsewhere. Best guess? It's about a woman and her problems, and our society (US and UK alike) is just misogynistic enough to write that off due to lack of education about what women experience just by virtue of living in the world-- the very education this show seeks to provide.

Is Suzie a good person? Debatable. Does she deserve to have her most intimate moments leaked to the world? If you think so, this show may not be for you-- but then again, if you actually think that, then maybe dating or walking around outdoors isn't for you, either.

If you're interested in a blistering character study of a nuanced, complex person dealing with a nuanced, complex trauma, both in her personal and professional life, check out this show immediately. If you hate women and hate stories about them, you have the entire internet at your disposal.

Fun, bit different, not preachy, good mix of drama and comedy. Enjoying it!

A lot of the comments giving the show lower scores are saying it was too chaotic and the emotional ride never "let up" after the first episode. It would seem that people aren't fully aware of the emotional rollercoaster that grief can play on us, which is exactly what this show is about. Each episode is based off of another stage in the process and to forget this when criticising the show is actually doing the show a disservice. It captures the stages very well and the acting throughout was great. Only thing that was a little pushed may have been the extent to which Daniel's character was so manipulative and belittling, however, the show still accurately portrays how these kinds of people make those around them feel. Billie acts in a way that allows you to see what is going on in her characters head without her actually speaking and this show allowed her to show off this talent. Great watch and interesting conversation starters when questioning characters' values and decisions with others that have watched.
