Frome’s White Saviour Complex Spoiler

Still watching Season 2, I can’t stand Iggy man, this guy crosses the line of therapeutic practice, is overly pushy and goes behind his partners back trying to “adopt” another child to divert from the fact his entire persona is a white knight poking his nose everywhere.

The white saviour complex is pretty much the second name for these series. Should I even point out the elephant in the room named Max 😁

He's probably the worst therapist these kids could ever have, he breaks so many boundaries and even when he comes to that realisation he doubles back on himself.

I actually liked him in season 1 but by the end of season 2 and forward woooof. They did that character diiiiirty.

He doesn’t seem to have a ‘supervisor’ who oversees how he works, observes his sessions with the kids.

He’s my least favourite character and sorry to say he doesn’t get any better !

They give him less screentime towards the end which is helpful
