Much of the four-part series' first episode is devoted to background information.
“Showing your underbelly to the audience apparently is a great way to earn their allegiance forever.”
If I wanted to be a hands-on father, great.
It escalated from there.
“Like I was daddy’s girl.”
“She started locking herself in bathrooms,” Mia Farrow says.
“She wasn’t like that when he wasn’t there.
“I was always in his clutches,” adds Dylan.
“He was always hunting me.”
There are allegations of more clearly inappropriate incidents as well.
(“He would wrap his body around me very intimately,” Dylan says.)
(Gilman recounts seeing Dylan suck Allen’s thumb as well.)
Allen denies all of these incidents, according to a postscript in the episode.
Mia Farrow says Allen began seeing a psychologist to address his behavior.
