This was almost impressively misogynistic. Took fridge-ing to a whole new level. Almost every woman in this narrative is leveraged as a plot device to further the emotional pain of the men in her life with little in the way of depth offered to her own pathology. Lots of dramatic twists and turns for shock value  with so little of interest to say.
