Dollar Store (E01)

For me, the first episode may have been a piss-poor effort to portray the desperation of a main character who fails to do literally a dozen things in one day. I don't know if this is the right form of presentation and if the series will have something to offer in terms of content in the following episodes.. (10/10/2021)

Well, it's safe to say that this series is shaping up to be quite the somber journey after just the first episode. What the main heroine is grappling with can be summed up as playing a bad hand. Any hope for a brighter future seems distant. What isn't bad due to others' fault, Alex makes up for with her own flawed decisions. I usually reserve three stars for pilot episodes, but in this case, it seems the downward spiral of the main character warranted an extra star. / Lesson learned: When life feels like it's crumbling in your hands, be sure that it will only get worse.
