how could a child commit a crime? how could someone so young do something so brutal?

i come from a country where such cases are never taken seriously. “he was a just a child so he’ll be sent to a rehabilitation centre. society needs to give them a chance.”

do we? does everyone need a chance?
the story, refreshingly, does not feed you the answer. all the characters are morally grey and have their own beliefs and personalities, as the viewer you are free to have your own opinion but you must remember one aspect above all.
a crime is a crime.

and that i believe is the important take away, relatively simple but so important.

as stated in episode 1, “how dare she commit a crime”

is stealing bread because you’re starving a crime? yes. should everyone have access to bread? obviously.
does that make the crime okay? i don’t know.

i’ll probably come back to these random musings another day. however, a brilliant show, attempting to break the mould in an oversaturated media industry.
