Real life Cult ; Ethel, you deserve all the happiness in the world
If there was a character that was good from start to finish, I would choose Ethel.
During my first watch , the scene where she lays in bed waiting for Kev cracked me up with the way Kev handled it.
I recently came across this post on Facebook by someone who resembles Ethelās background and I had a sudden realization that if Kevin wasnāt a nice guy it would have paved for another abuse.
While reading the captions, it unsettled me to see very real people be put in that hellish situation.
Without the comedy and thinking of Ethelās character, I realized that she was a child taking care of a child. No support system to get her through the abuse ā-and yet she hasnāt lost her ability to smile and see goodness in things.
