Other reviewers seem disgusted at the alleged perversity of the characters and find it unrealistic. But the show accurately portrays the perversion that some people enjoy. In this show, it is love for one's mother, whom the characters see as monopolized by their father, that gets perverted into revenge. The killers--who happen to be teenagers--love the thrill of murdering their father and other men who pay too much attention to their mother. In my life, I have known women with the same type of enjoyment on their faces as they talk about their feelings toward their family--enjoyment stemming from a deep-seated and frustrated love that turns into the vicious mistreatment of men. In both this episode and in real life, it is sex that lures draw victimized men into a trap from which it is difficult to escape. My congratulations to the writers who understand this dynamic. The show is an object lesson in facing the truth about some human beings: they truly enjoy revenge and the mistreatment of others.
