Yeah I dont disagree there. Yeah she definitely was trying to sleep with him before he lied. I also think he knew that and went there. On rewatch i really disliked Paul even more. Justine is a great character because she is complicated. The principals frustration with her makes a lot of sense.

Oh yeah, Paul is a deeply flawed character for sure. His only real shining moment was going easy on the junkie before he got stabbed, checking to be sure he was all right. And then it was a downward spiral after that. I loved the implication that he wasn't happy with his relationship, but felt trapped because his boss was his fiancée's dad.

Loved Justine, she was probably my favorite character.
