What I liked

Lydia Hunter as Hannah and Ben Taylor as Bobby added personality and emotion to their characters, giving them their own distinct flavor.

What I didn't like

The energy was a bit low, but I chalk that up to opening night jitters. As for the relationship between the three siblings, this needed to be finessed a little more as I felt the three were ‘playing’ siblings at times rather than ‘being’ siblings.

My overall impression

This was an engaging show focused on a controversial, yet timely, topic, and the question of whether the past can truly be put behind us, and if redemption is actually possible. This show seeks to challenge us, and in an uncomfortable way, and I believe it has achieved that. I’d recommend this show.
