I’m currently watching Under the Bridge the latest hit show on Hulu. It’s a series about the true story of fourteen-year old Reena Virk’s disappearance A group of teenage girls and one boy were accused of murdering Reena in the 1990’s. Reena is played by up-and-coming South Asian American actress Vritika Gupta — who, by the way, is seriously stellar.
I’m not done with the whole series yet (I just finished Episode Four last night). So far, it feels very much in the the “When Girls Kill Each Other” genre that we have seen proliferate recently.
Today I’m sharing three themes that I’ve noticed as a psychiatrist and what we can learn from them.
