I think that Ruth was just Lenora's therapist, and that they didn't live together, she just came over sometimes to check on them. I have had some thoughts about whether it was actually very professional of Ruth to yell at her patient for fucking up, and for eventually fostering (adopting?) her kid, but no one can say she doesn't genuinely care and she does give excellent advice.

My mom was also mentally ill, though she managed by and large to keep it together until both of us kids were grown and out of the house. So I count myself lucky enough to have avoided the vast majority of the kind of damage that Nadia has had to live with. Chloë Sevigny so very much embodies my mother here, her performance makes my heart throb and miss her so much. (Mom died from cancer almost two years ago.)

Usually, in the kind of show that fronted by a rude but exceptional person, the brash lead character is not a very good person. I love how you can tell that Nadia, despite her unashamedly indulging herself in actions often considered negative (like rudeness, drugs, and casual sex) or actively immoral (the aforementioned infidelity), cares extremely deeply about the well-being of basically everyone she meets for more than 30 seconds. She is more than capable of being mean to them if she feels like it, but she's horrified at the idea of actually damaging them.

I'm not sure whatever force that's doing this to Nadia is really aiming for credulity, except maybe with being hit by the car. I've fallen down at least a few dozen staircases in my day, and none of them have killed me yet.

I've been so excited about this one! Before I saw Mark announce it was coming up, I was actually considering doing a rewatch just because, which I almost never do.
