Our Dear Dead Drug Lord

See it if Scheer's female coming of age dramedy is intense, funny, overwrought i.e. adolescence Well acted mash-up of Little Women & The Crucible

Don't see it if Weirdly surreal w/ multiple plot lines often sows confusion Snappy dialogue vs anger & insecurity of the girls Graphic, violent ending jolts

See it if you want to see an incredibly funny new show, written and directed by women, with an all female cast.
