FTA-TV Sharp Objects

Holy ****!

I had a feeling it was her earlier on in the season but became convinced it had to be Adora during the last episode and throughout this one until the very end. That is some serious serial killer shit to remake the ivory floor of the real house out of teeth in the doll house.

Also I had no idea that Amma's two side kicks could be in on it

Didn't realise the doll being positioned in the dollhouse window at the end was akin to how Natalie's body was positioned in the town until now. Just made that scene even better

I think that's what caught Camille's eye and made her look at it closer

So i think im on my own here but i thought the ending really undid anything else the show did well. Its just so ridiculously contrived and goes against pretty much any plot point the show set up.

Adams was brilliant as were most of the cast, the moody style, music and cinematography were all really good. Honestly i thought the pacing was average (we didnt need 15 minutes of every episode being Adams driving around on her own, drinking or having mumbled conversations with the editor to get what those things were showing us) but the show did set up this really fascinating tangle of stories (the dead sister, the sexual assault, the cutting, the drinking, the mum, the murders) and obviously the murder mystery wasnt the REAL driver of the show but it didnt give us any clarity on so many of the stories and (IMO) gave us this cop out twist of the killer.

It will be a critical darling for sure and it had some brilliance but it also had some gaping holes and issues.

just finished this...watched it over two nights...simply brilliant...acting and editing superb...actresses playing Camille, adora and amma deserve extra credit...those roles would have been incredibly difficult to play...

Apparently so difficult to play that the main star , will not go back to the show, so I have read.

The way they finished it , to me suggested that they knew it was a one off by then. Even before they put no1 to air?

Watched the last 6 episodes over the last 2 nights. I found it a grind to watch. I said to my wife very early on that I reckoned it was the nasty bored teenage girls In the town.

I only watched it to the end to see who it was. The acting might have been great but I find it a real chore watching shows that have a drunk as a main character.

Thought it was only Natalie that was helping her with Anna. Probably why she also eventually killed her as well.

Great show, the three main female roles very well acted. Only thing don’t understand is why wouldn’t Adora have waited until Camille was out of town before starting on poisoning Amma? Seemed contrived. Enjoyed the music throughout the series as well.

No need for second series

Presumably the stress of the whole situation made her make that poor decision. It's not like Munchausen's-by-proxy is logical

Finished this recently, it features possibly the best soundtrack of any series I've watched. And Alan's sound system, that was almost a character in itself!
