rating: 3 out of 5 cravats

The Chinese box approach to Veronica's rape - with each revelation, the perpetrator is revealed as a closer and closer acquaintance! - really (a) annoyed me, and (b) summarized the series' imperfectly realized themes. The show begins with a line I liked - "The people you love will always let you down" - but more often expressed that disappointment with gimmicks - Duncan was drugged, too! by Logan - instead of something more sincere (like the episode when the valedictorian takes his scholarship loss in stride, which felt pretty good). I don't know. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
