Richard makes the dumbest decision possible at every chance but also behaves exactly like I would in this situation unfortunately. Also these rich white kids thinking they couldn't just use daddy's lawyers to get them out of this situation is so laughable. I know this was very influential but unfortunately I have read the influenced stuff first so this felt underwhelming.
