Rich-joy,

I only saw a couple of the episodes with Cathy Bradshaw playing mind-games with Polly - but what I did see was spot-on, totally true to life. And the target doesn't see the machinations going on behind the seemingly innocent "friendship" until they end up in hot water and suddenly, too late, it all becomes clear.

Scary stuff, especially when it happens in broad daylight in a room full of people who think they care about other people but who duck for cover and watch someone else burn rather than risk losing their own comfort zone for the sake of standing up for human decency.

As you may have guessed the "innocent bystanders" pissed me off as much as the sociopathic bully.
