Goofs

Quotes
Rue Bennett: Now as a beloved character that a lot of people are rooting for, I feel a certain responsibility to make good decisions.
[Side-eye into camera]
Rue Bennett: But I relapsed. In all fairness, I did say in the beginning I had no intentions of staying clean. But I get it. Our country's dark. And fucked up. And people... just want to find hope.
Ethan Lewis: Somewhere.
Rue Bennett: Anywhere. And if not in reality, then in television. Unfortunately, I'm not it.

Loved the Gia and Rue scene.

I wish we could see more of Rue's family backstory. I mean the fight scenes felt so real and I wish I cohld see more of it. That's reality. There's a lot of teens that live this family chaos drama every day. I love see realistic interaction and they need to explain what it is to live in a house with a drug addicted and a mom taking care of two kids, a house and all of that by herself. Please, show people what's it like to live in your house with the constant anxiety. The pain and all of that.
