    Alan’s inaction might be the most horrifying thing in a show filled with generally horrific people and incidents. He failed to protect his children. I think your analogy with him being the equivalent of a mother who refuses to acknowledge that the husband is molesting the kids is a very good...

    Adam, I'd like to say thanks for posting about this show in the first place.
