A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated

No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Took me a little while to get into it, but I enjoyed it once I got into a groove. I found it tricky to relate to the characters and felt secondhand anxiety for some of their decisions, but it was an interesting portrayal of how different people process trauma and relate to one another.
