From the first episode, it's clear that Hulu's 'Under the Bridge' understands the true nature of rural Canada. The series follows Rebecca Godfrey (Riley Keough), a writer who returns to Victoria, BC, and gets swept up in uncovering the murder of teenager Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta). While watching the series, I found myself in my hometown.
When Rebecca (Riley Keough) returns to her hometown of Victoria in the first episode of 'Under the Bridge,' she walks through her childhood home with a sense of despondency, as if she feels like the home she's in isn't hers. And it isn't real.
We met when we were twelve after she had transferred to our school and got into a fight with another of my friends mere hours after being introduced to us. I remember watching her move throughout the fight, her body flailing wildly, with a grin plastered on her face, and thinking she was the bravest person I had ever met.
When I found out she was dead, I texted my best friend Mackenzie, who I have known since I was three. I don't remember what I said or how she responded, but each time this happened, the conversation always ended the same way: Aren't you glad it wasn't you?
