This was a truly horrible series - but I loved it. I think because I went through a period of time myself where I hit the rockiest of bottoms before gaining a better understanding of myself and my family; there were moments in the last episode I could relate to. This drama shows that sometimes we have to take things apart - even ourselves and our families ties - to come back together as someone, or something, better. Sometimes self awareness is gained at a high price and we don't always like what we learn. It's how we use that new information that is key. This drama was thought provoking and shocking - but kept you glued to the screen. Even at times when I was thinking of stopping, I'd find myself almost unconsciously clicking the next episode. The ending was satisfying but, thankfully, not in the sugary sweetness of other dark dramas that bottle it at the end, this ended in the same dark way as it had progressed. There is hope, but also some trepidation. This show is a must watch for all genuine dark drama/'screwed up family' fans (and no, NOT 'dysfunctional' - this drama is so far beyond ordinary 'dysfunctional' families it's not even in the same postcode). Oh and to anyone saying 'this is rubbish because they would've ALL been arrested at various points - not least the 'tutor' ' - yes, you are right; BUT this is DARK DramaLand - even usual DramaLand rules do not apply here, let alone the real world ones. Watch this at your peril - you'll be addicted and have to watch; even when you REALLY want to press the stop button....... and you'll also scared of home tutors for life! :D I will add though that the music was jarring in places - I know that was because of the way the story was going and it was to add to the darkness and dysfunction of the family; but it got really annoying in the end. For me it was the only bad part of the drama. Also, it's a hard show to watch and to do it more than once is for stronger souls than mine.
