Not Bad for Such a Short Series

The plot definitely seemed interesting to me and it was easily accessible on Netflix, so I kinda started this on a whim.

The story is definitely interesting. The first 2 women and the second 2 women's stories fit together really nicely, but for some reason, I couldn't connect all 4 together. I feel like they kinda threw in the true identity of Ito at the very end with no explanation and it was a bit hard to digest. All of a sudden, they were like "well, this is the dude" and they didn't explain how they got to that conclusion or anything. The dude showing up at the end with that creepy ass grin really freaked me out. I'm not very satisfied with the ending.

I definitely liked the editing with the author sitting in on all the scenes and making commentary, especially when she was on the receiving end of it at the end. The only thing about that is that I didn't really understand the author's story. The clips of the author and her past lover were really short and I didn't really think anything of it, but all of a sudden at the end, it was important. The importance of the tub was interesting, but all of a sudden she broke down and I was like, what? It would have been nice to see some more explanation of her past and experiences so that I could empathize a bit more.

I kinda hated all of the characters in the show. They were all annoying and shitty people and somehow in the wrong and no one actually ended up happy, which is realistic I guess, but... In a way, it was good that they were all shitty people - it made it all the more interesting. Some of them were a bit predictable but they never changed so that's to be expected.

Overall, it was interesting for a short series that only takes a day to finish. Not a bad watch.
