I Hate Suzie

I thought this was a great show from start to finish. The story is told at just the right pace and was done so brilliantly.

I genuinely feel as though this could happen the way it plays out here and, probably has.

It seems very, unfair, in places - The way Suzie is treated from some of her friends and colleagues is horrible to watch in places but I'd imagine that in that world its to be expected.

Of course Suzie isn't completely innocent and that lends itself to not quite being able to feel completely sorry for her at the same time.

A sad reflection of the media and the role it can play in people's lives. A sad reflection of the times we live in.

You do find yourself rooting for Suzie though, to somehow get away from the mess she finds herself in and the people who surround her.

Hopefully they'll do another series.

Binge watched it...laughed...cried...cringed...worth it...very original and very refreshing 😊

The opening episode of this was great, with fantastic acting and balancing a sense of doom with chaos. The second was good too, but it declined by the middle, seemingly not sure what it was about.

The later episodes contained some really good moments, but they were harder to find, although plot wise it picked up again.

Overall, I enjoyed it, and it was a refreshing change to everything else on tv, but it felt like it needed a good edit, and perhaps to be a couple of episodes shorter.

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.

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.
