Work, a child, and the paperwork of getting free. Hard to watch. Worth it for a grown house.
Alex is not a symbol. She is a woman counting dollars in a car seat while her daughter sleeps, and the series is brave enough to stay with the counting. The charm of the man she left is not denied. That is why the leaving is hard, and why the show is more honest than a poster about strength. It is also bleak, and some hours are too much.
Not for children. For a grown son or daughter who has started to think poverty is a personality, it is a correction. Watch it, then look at what your own house pays other people to do.
Live historically
Pay someone who works in your house, or on it, fully and on time. If you are that person, keep one dollar you do not have to explain.

The eight
Industry
9/10
Cleaning houses is filmed as labor with a wage, a body, and a clock. Rare, and right.
Household
7/10
She is trying to make a safe house for one child. The men who love her make it harder.
Piety
4/10
Desperation is honest. Faith is mostly absent, and not mocked.
Courage
8/10
Leaving, with no money and a toddler, is the bravest thing in the week's shelf.
Republic
6/10
Shelters, courts, and benefits are shown as a country a poor woman has to learn.
Temperance
6/10
Drinking and charm are given their bill. The show does not find them romantic for long.
Truth
9/10
It tells the truth about money: the difference between being helped and being trapped is often a deposit.
Stewardship
8/10
Everything she does is so the girl will not inherit the house she is escaping.
