the main character was unbearable. i am a fan of unlikeable characters, but usually there is something redeeming about them that i can cling onto. unfortunately, i found none in carrie starr. given such a monumental task of finding a missing indigenous woman while trying to figure out what's going on behind the previous disappearances of other indigenous women she's been tasked with, you'd think she'd take it seriously - or maybe even, just maybe, put the bottle of whiskey or joint down for a single moment and, i dunno, actually do her job? 

but no. the new marshall on the reservation was either drunk or high in nearly every scene she was in, while interacting with other characters and trying to solve an active investigation. she didn't take anything seriously until her job was threatened and even when it came time to confront the bad guys, SHE WAS FUCKING DRUNK. she could barely even stand!! i CAN'T. 

however, i did really appreciate learning more about the epidemic of missing girls on reservations - definitely a topic i think needs more coverage on mainstream media and i'd like to educate myself even further on. i also loved the mythology and spiritual aspects of the indigenous culture that interwoven into the story and the lives of the characters.
