I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The mystery of who killed Erin McMenamin gave the show its plot, but over the course of seven episodes, it became clear that the series was most interested in exploring the contradictions and conundrums of motherhood

Like the idea, but I swore off Rolling Rock as soon as I graduated college.
