058 | CHARACTER ASSASSINATION: August the Desperate [1x05]
Description
TW: References to s*xual assault, toxic relationship dynamics, classism, and child p*rnography
Anton and Margaret perform the inevitable takedown of August in Season 1, Episode 5. While picking apart the character's psychology as much as they feel able to, Anton articulates that August cannot see himself as the villain, and Margaret pokes as the dark underpinnings of his motivations.
