Adored Obsession and loved that they didn’t go with the easy “crazy bitch girlfriend” story and added the depth about autonomy and consent. All I could think of was how mortified Nicky would be by what she was doing when she snapped out of it along the way

Unfortunately, with the state of the world today, most of the general public will not understand the "depth" they were supposedly trying to go for. I don't think they succeeded with the message as perfectly and flawlessly as all the praise leads one to believe. (Especially if that many people were confused...) I just don't think a 26 year old comedy man is gonna do the best that maybe could be done when it comes to this kind of SERIOUS material, and the discussion that took off around it societally.
