oh noooo i'm still up for either streaming for you or shooting you the episodes via dropbox btw; i'm perfectly willing to do one at a time so that if you realize it's too much you won't have all of them clogging your harddrive
;__; i wish i could tell you the drug stuff is hard to avoid BUT it's a major part of the storyline of one character (and the character we both know will be your favorite to boot, lmao)
i binged it in a day with my sister when i was visiting a couple months back and i'm real squeamish with gore and stuff, and she was able to tell me when bad shit was going down so i could look away
(and our promise for s2 is that she'll watch the eps as they air and I DVR them and watch them the next day when she tells me when bad shit starts happening lmao)
this particular addiction story focuses a lot on using drugs and alcohol to drown out pain and trauma - so while there's plenty of drug and alcohol use onscreen, the focus is more on the pain she's trying to drown out, and the desperate stupid shit done is presented as far more of a consequence of that pain rather than the drug use itself
