Cher from Clueless x Shameless x Jerry Springer.

A tale of revenge featuring a cast of nosy and morally bankrupt characters. They are twisted, cruel, self aggrandizing, and entirely entitled. If you enjoy mess and small town behavior and perhaps soap operas, you’ll love this.

I can appreciate how the narrator insists on portraying certain characters as naive instead of malicious when it’s clear she’s being manipulative.

I also find it interesting that one of the characters who is made out to be the main villain is Romani and the author wrote about him stealing everything. Was that even a stereotype back then? Is this the genesis of that stereotype?

The entire crew of characters has the same kind of moral character as the crew from Seinfeld or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Some of it was quite boring and some of it was quite bizarre.

I still have questions. Was Mr. Lockwood an incel? I’m still not convinced of the patronage of Linton Heathcliff. Was he really Heathcliff’s kid or nah?

This classic just wasn’t for me, it seems.

TLDR Lots of sickness, lots of death, mess, hatred, gossip, haunting
