Mood

I've seen the reviews mentioning women empowerment and the need to identify with Sasha's situation to appreciate the show.

Everyone can identify with this series. It's about being lost. Finding your identity. The battle between what you don't want to do and what you are willing to do to find a way to where you want to be. Losing who you are along the way and trying to find your way back to the person you used to be.

It's about a broken home and finding the love in other people due to the lack of love by people who were supposed to love you. The people who break your heart trying to find it and the people you thought you could trust, but can't.

It's about peer pressure and the dangers that come with giving in to it. It's about our obsession with social media and forgetting that people are people and not just numbers to add to your following base.

Mood is the kind of show that expresses toxicity in such a profound way that makes you feel so uncomfortable. In the best way. Because it's a warning for those who are on the cusp of going too far and cathartic for those of us who've been in terrible situations.

Everyone can find something in this show.

Certainly had enough plot for the most part to keep me wanting to watch but the final episode was a little over-long. It's also a good warning to the curious about the dangers of apparently easy money and fair-weather friends, and was not timid about dealing with the toxicity of relationships where power is greatly imbalanced. Sadly the plot ultimately included judgements about the 'fate' awaiting so-called fallen women who are unrepentent, which I thought was odd considering the determined boot-knocking throughout.

Not sure if sptolomey has ever even watched part of an episode of this show as it literally doesn't feature gangs at all?? 🤔 It's about a singer and influencer. Pretty strange and sad to see such a vicious critique without... well, the critique part. Boomers hey 🙃

Moving back to the topic at hand.

This was a binger for me, I watched it all in one enjoyable Saturday afternoon.

Nicôle absolutely smash(er)ed this in her writing debut. Biting social commentary, likeable but human & flawed characters and a great soundtrack. If you enjoyed I Will Destroy You then try this!

In a world where influencers and Instagram has taken over, this powerful drama exposes the danger and reality of falling into the trap of social media.

As well as tackling child abuse, this series portrays how easy it is for young, vulnerable girls to be lured into OnlyFans, prostitution and even trafficking for the sake of an Instagram image and a PLT sponsorship.

Other reviewers are clearly missing the bigger picture here. A very layered and thought provoking piece. I hope many young girls give it a watch and second guess the appeal of the insta-famous lifestyle. A much needed series for the new generation.

But found it a bit scarey as I have a daughter of that age and is an influencer and cares about her on line.

Good storyline and well acted, gripping to the end.
