What I liked

I love how Abi created the character and painted her small horizons for us so clearly. Early on I was already coping with her character’s painful fear of the world and her concerns over the horrors of low fat dairy. It made the fall that much more shattering.

The writing and acting were brilliant. The character showed a lot of levels and angles throughout. The audience is in good hands!

What I didn't like

The show was a tight hour. If I had a chance to see a longer version of the show, I would love to see more denouement, if i’ve spelled that right. This is not a fault of the show in any way. I would like to see more of it.

My overall impression

The Structure was great. It helped create the character and her world. Abi slipped the audience a mickey and made us comfortable in that world of small dramas and small solutions, and then she took it all away.
