this was okay… sort of the secret history-esque in the sense that the friend group was awfully codependent and prone to infighting but loved each other so extremely in hindsight that everything was justified (?) i found it boring did not sympathize for or resonate with the characters and could predict “the violent act” it was like watching a train wreck that’s really slow and boring. did not reveal anything abt the complexities of the human character just tells you how obsessive love changes people’s lives
