No, I'm running out of drama here xD So maybe I'll just tell you about a few of HellGirl's episodes.

There was this episode last night that... was... disturbing, you could say. There was this guy, Tetsuya, who sent someone's name to the hell-girl. He died in a motorcycle accident one night before he could pull the red string and "fulfill the vengeance". He crashed and broke a buddha's head that was sitting on the side of the road (0.0).
At his funeral, his mother blamed her husband because he bought him the bike. The father blamed the mother because she was the one who wanted him to buy the bike. Forty-nine days have passed and the mother was still so much devastated. It was like she was so obsessed with her late Tetsuya. Her daughter, Emi, did everything she could to cheer her up. But it was like Emi never existed to her.
One night, Emi walked into her brother's room. She found the straw voodoo doll in his drawer. The hell-girl appeared behind her and introduced the cursed contract. "You know who he wanted to send to Hell," said the hell-girl and she disappeared.
The mother visits the road where Tetsuya died every night at the very same time. She places his pictures all over the house. She never comes for dinner because she was always busy with some website of hers. One time, she asked her husband to print some papers for her related to Tetsuya while the husband was making kites. Then the husband said okay, and he continued with his kites. She went ballistic and was like, "What are you doing??!! I meant now!! Not next year!! It seems like you care less about our son!! Why do you make these stupid kites anyway??!" And she destroyed the kite. The father said calmly that Tetsuya loved the kites. And the mother said, "No, he didn't! He hated them!!"
Tetsuya was everything to the mother. She didn't care about anything else. She never even looked at her daughter, who was the only one supporting her all that time.
One night, Emi found a sack on the living room table. She opened it to find the head of the Buddha that was split from its body when Tetsuya crashed it. Her mother came out with a handful of money on her hands. She babbled happily (as in creepily happily) about how some book was gonna get published about Tetsuya's accident. She became so happy. So obsessed... She kept rubbing the buddha's head on her cheek.
Then at night, she was still doing it. The tv was on loud. Emi was cooking dinner. She asked her mother to turn it down but the mother paid no attention at all and kept rubbing the head on her cheek, mumbling happily, "Tetsuya... Tetsuya..." The father came home drunk and didn't care anymore. He said to Emi, "Look around you. This place is falling apart." And dozed off on the couch in front of the loud tv. Emi yelled at her mom again to turn down the tv but to no avail. Then she dropped her pot of stew on the floor. No one took notice... of anything. She stared at the stew on the floor... then looked at her hysterical mother, then to her drunk father. The family was completely in tatters... She couldn't stand it anymore.
She went to her brother's bedroom and held the straw doll. Then she recalled the conversation between her and Tetsuya the night he died, just before he was about to leave.
'Where are you going so late? Mom would be so worried!' she said to her brother.
'That's her problem!' he said. 'Always telling me what to do and what not to! It's like I'm her doll or something! Everyone would be so better off without her!'
'You shouldn't say such things about our mother like that...'
'You'll understand someday,' he says, and rode off into the rain.

"I understand now..." said Emi to herself. With tears rolling down her cheeks, she pulled the red string tied around the doll's neck to fulfill the vengeance. She sent her own mother to Hell.
Downstairs, the mother disappeared. The buddha head was laying on the floor...
The mother found herself on the boat to Hell. The hell-girl told her she was going to Hell. The mother laughed hysterically and said, "To Hell??! Is Tetsuya there??!! Mommy's coming, Tetsuya!! I'm coming!!" And the hell-girl said ever so calmly, "You're going to Hell. And you're going there alone."
