It was fine- we watched it all. I was quite disappointed when I saw every twist coming. Very predictable and very light for a dark show.

Between plot holes and things that were never explained, it feels more like a vanity project by someone trying to seem deep.

As someone who has lived a life of mental illness and self-harm: It's representation of mental health is entirely shallow. When you see a character covered in scars from self-harm (also somehow on her back??), you expect to follow her into the abyss. But it was lacking, like a female character written by a male writer, the character was bland and misrepresentation, like Amy Adams was wearing it as a costume, not what that level of self-harm means and how it impacts those who experience it.

The emptiness and plot holes could all have been forgiven if not for the obvious twists. Like I said, I guess the killer not even half way through the first episode and was horribly disappointment when I was correct.

The twist is too obvious, the actors never sell their mental illnesses and the plot was cringey with holes that rival JK Rowling's Harry Potter.

Trigger warning: This documentary is not for a fun, relaxing day at home. It is a real look at addiction through the eyes of South Londoner's who are at the end of their addiction journeys, and possibly their lives.

Even if you have seen addiction up close, Drinking to Oblivion takes you beyond everyday addiction, into when the everyday becomes a struggle for survival.

Not exploitive like A&E's Intervention, we seen alcoholics as they live as an everyday person along with their families. Louis Theroux asks heart breaking questions, of which I could never find the courage to ask the addicts I love.

So intense that I had to watch in two seatings, your find yourself pleading with them for a better outcome.
