The Unraveling : Discussion Thread

[Trisha]

This isn’t a love story.
It’s a story about obsession.

After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift. When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?

But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can’t bring herself to turn him away and becomes further entangled. With her life and career continuing to unravel, it appears that things could not get any worse…until they do.

(view spoiler)[ That is very sad about her husband
but yeah, he stole her script pad and was still getting pills? is that what happened? and she feels responsible because it was her pad? did she not report it?

and what is up with the guy she is following? why is she following him? Why does she need him to not be okay? (hide spoiler)]

it's an odd and interesting start. curious to see where it goes from here!

(view spoiler)[ Merideth feels like an awful therapist! lol She's constantly overstepping what she should be telling people and now she's not being honest with Gabriel. I'm glad she's honest with her own therapist but yikes. maybe she shouldn't be counseling people.

I also find it weird she doesn't seem to have any friends. I'd think she's join a grief group and have a small group of therapists that she does training and retreats with, etc. Maybe some from school? something. . . (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ yikes. she is a terrible terrible therapist! Ugh! Her sessions with the girl are all over the place! she is using transference all over - just pulling ideas and lives from where ever. she's spinning out of control and this can't end anywhere good.

that moment with Gabriel was bad.

but I wonder what his end game is. Is he trying to rattle her? send her overboard? he's clearly stalking her like she stalked him. I don't see where this is going other than not ending well.

and her drinking is out of control too (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done!

wow, what a twisted ending
(view spoiler)[ wow, Gabriel planned it all.
he wanted her to kill his wife and kid?
and so it was a ruse? because he should have taken her to Thailand 2 + years after she'd killed them? I'm so confused.

Meredith was a mess. I'm glad she finally got straight, got a new job and left it all behind. (hide spoiler)]
