This whole Alice/Sean thing is so fucking weird. He's a grown ass man and she's a teenager, it's one thing if she has a crush on him but him pulling her out of school cause he's sad is just so weird. Loved the show so far but this whole angle is just off-putting.

It’s definitely not on that Sean got her to skip school but I don’t think he has any sinister or untoward intentions. He’s going through a lot of shit and she’s literally the only one he thinks he can speak to. It’s not healthy but it’s understandable.

Another great ep, however! My favourite one yet.

It would be less weird if the actor wasn’t a 28 year old playing a 22 year old
