Very well done, not over done, and it had lasting reprocussions. I liked how they had Sela Ward's character on Sisters being an alcoholic. Again, well written with lasting reprocussions.
I think amanda could have handled an extreme storyline (rape, toture, loss of limb) with dignity and respect to the storyline, even if the writing was less than serving to the subject.
