Teen drama with an emphasis on healthy communication, empathy, anger issues, sexuality, and being a bystander to bullying. 

Ultimately, a little dull but had some much-appreciated depth. I enjoyed the non-toxic love between Alix and Erza and the parent dynamics. The characters here have strong feelings, but they express them and apologize when wrong. Refreshing!

SN: everyone in this story has got a chin, baby. Ones that could cut steel.

erza seems pansexual as of now

also, i love that alix didn't have to give up hockey. it's realistic that Lindsay didn't magically Disney change or that the other girls rallied around her. the coach gaslighted and refused to care too. this shows that sometimes (admittedly it's not always an option) there are other options than staying in an abusive environment. going to play on a nother team was a great idea!
