[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Girlfriend.]
When Olivia Cooke said The Girlfriend was “for the freaks,” she wasn’t lying. The psychological erotic thriller features a sort of love triangle, but not in the traditional sense. Laura (Robin Wright) has an overprotective, borderline creepy relationship with her son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson), which gets put on the backburner when he falls in love with Cherry (Olivia Cooke).
Disturbing premise aside, Prime Video’s latest limited series isn’t without romance, though its authenticity is up for interpretation. As the show flits back and forth between the women’s perspectives, Laura becomes increasingly paranoid about Cherry’s motivations, determined to drive them apart. However, as the events unfold, viewers find out that her suspicions aren’t entirely incorrect. Cherry is far from an innocent bystander.
