I wasn't hooked by this one. I felt as though the added plotline of the father being gay was somewhat unnecessary. Maeve was supposed to come across as powerful but instead I just felt like her life was wasted. I did like ho they portrayed suicide as a powerful act and not a desperate one by someone in the throws of depression.
