I fail to see the point. Liz didn't liv vicariously thru Sue's consciousness…they didn't share memories nor did liz experience any of the success or pleasure bestowed upon sue…she just had to lay comatose for a week (often longer) and then sit around doing **** all for a week while sue 'rested"
How is this arrangement any better than just having a bratty daughter sponging off you?
Or just selecting an anonymous person to pretend they are you? I see no difference in this arrangement besides turning into a seahag lol. This relationship needed to be transactional to be compelling imo.
Maybe I missed something but I don't see the point -

The ending was as stoopid as anything I've ever seen…but the premise was beyond weak.
It's like they grenlit a half baked idea. Could have been more engaging if there was a shared consciousness or the like. It's almost like a poorly conceived evil roommate flick
