Rhiannon is mousy, drab, quiet, with tragic anime eyes, a woman who the world treats, not with contempt, but with utter indifference. The viewer will cringe at the careless cruelty with which the world treats her, buttressed by flashbacks to her school years when she was terrorized by an uncaring bully. She suffers loss in her personal life and humiliation at work at her local small-town newspaper.
But don’t worry: she finds a hobby late in the first episode. She stabs a bully to death. It’s amazing how a horrific crime that happens on the spur of the moment can brighten your day.
