1.0

We finally get a human female character that doesn't have a "perfect bod" and she's described as a "hurricane", "a lot", pushy, obsessed with "cheese and French fries", refers to herself as "out of shape" & her "fat ass", and overall a crusty, miserable, bitchy character. It took a a near death experience for her to have an ounce of character development at all. So disappointed.

Not to mention the problematic relationship between Maddie and Lilah.. As if a deaf person has no autonomy or independence whatsoever simply because they are deaf and need some kind of hero big sister to control and do everything for her. And her being salty when her sister finds some happiness? 

1 whole star only for the voyeurism and Hassen's dirty talk abilities, that shit was hot.
