dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Oh boy...that hit hard. For something that isnt tagged as horror...it is a pretty good horror.

I have a lot of thoughts which someone with more intelligence would be able to voice... However I am a proclaimed idiot and when our boy Winston is talking about politics I'm sat there like 'yup.' 

There's a lot to unpack, it's clearly more then just 'haha government bad!' and also about like, the folly of man and how easy it is to manipulate and abuse...and torture...so much torture. But hey, glad I now know that 2+2 in fact equals 5
