I made two things (one is just an expanded version of the other)
The Five Precepts: Do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, no harmful/dishonest sexual conduct, no intoxicating substances
and
The Eight Precepts (for monastics and periods of intensive practice): Do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, no sexual conduct, no intoxicating substances, restraint from vanity, entertainment, luxuries, do not overindulge in sleep, eat only one meal a day before noon
This was a hard watch by any estimation (and political AF for a production that claims not to be) but especially watching it through my personal lens: female, immigrant, person of color with 43.9% native DNA (top 20th percentile for Neanderthal variants, what what).

'Top scientist Dr Beth Anderson would do anything but admit the truth. Terrified of causing harm to others, she’s compelled to break into a high security lab to steal an out-of-date sandwich.

“Leading scientist, Dr Beth Anderson, breaks into a high security facility in the dead of night. Why is she there? Is she a thief? A terrorist? A threat to national security? None of the above. Risking her career rather than admit the truth that she has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and overwhelmed by a fear of causing harm to others, she has been compelled into her most critical mission yet - to steal an out of date sandwich, in order to save a pregnant colleague from eating it. Just as Beth is about to lose everything, she finds connection and understanding from an unlikely source.”
Sharon Rooney stars alongside Claudie Blakley and Alison O'Donnell. She plays Shauna, a security guard.
Do No Harm is directed by Douglas King, with an original score by Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres. Screenplay by Rosy Barnes.
Warnings: Some dark subjects here. Suicide (minor character), self harm, blood, nudity, navigating some extremely fucked up power dynamics, implied noncon, severe panic attacks, BBU/BBU-adjacent

Sebastian stands there long after his skin is pink beneath the spray, lost in his own head. His skin may be scrubbed clean after the first few minutes, but he is confident his body will never forget the memory of this stain.
