Seeing how quickly they burst through the thin veneer of cozy comity and unleash utter ruthlessness is unsettling but bracing.

Fun and disturbing in equal measure, fans of a strong ensemble cast and dark humor that creeps into the inappropriate will likely enjoy this wayward satire of the upper-middle class.

...a masterclass in small-scale storytelling. It’s funny, sharp, emotionally layered, and quietly devastating.
