I could only watch one or two episodes at a time. Some scenes made me physically ill. I believe it’s one of Catherine Moss’ shining performances. At some point I will watch it again to discover a deeper level of symbolism. This is not the series to binge watch, either. After 3 or 4 episodes I started watching the rest during the daylight as I found taking a walk to our neighborhood park helped me shake off my feelings. Some of the scenes will always haunt me.

I watched the first two episodes of this new season, and i stopped. I found it a bit too dark for even me.
Maybe I will try again one day.
