Hair raising

Binged season one in a single day! Just too sad to see how these women were treated, first by their partners, then by their community. The pace and production on these episodes are so constable and engaging.
In-depth reporting at its best

I’m old enough to remember the “troubles” being in the news here in the US. This is the best reporting I’ve heard on the subject. Another reminder, as if we needed one these days, of peoples’ capability for inhumanity.
Well done

@sissarea27 doesn’t believe due to being a college student plasma donor and having a different experience than prisoners, unhoused living in the street, and night clubbers. Don’t assume because it doesn’t happen to you, it doesn’t happen.
