4.0

There isn’t a lot of plot here, but it is an interesting look at a very flawed character who goes after the life she thinks she’s supposed to want, while nearly undermining herself at every turn. No one was particularly likable. I did not see the twist coming (by the time it arrived I thought we weren’t getting one) and I think it worked, bit it also felt a little like it was out of left field.
