The game / animation doesn't really work for me. There are far too many characters and the plot is unnecessarily complex. It took a while to discern the character's pen name was 'Paperweight' and I still don't know what the ridiculous name of the far right organisation is. J.K. is clearly writing about cyber-bullying in response to her own experiences.
But the Holliday Grainger / Tom Burke magic is still there, and we are blessed with a Ruth Sheen as well. In my favourite moment, Holliday flips a sexist bully over her and then punches him in the face, and in the tense finale she manages to subdue a crazy killer. Women kicking men's asses... yeah!
