FTA-TV Sharp Objects

[Unique Name]

HBO's latest offering.

Watched the first episode last night, dark feel about it, lots of secrets in a small town. Amy Adams already knocking it out of the park, her character clearly has some demons.

Early days but looks the goods. Will be watching Ep 2 tonight.

Loved it so far, has a bizarre errie feeling too it, can certainly tell this was directed by the same person as big little lies. Been addicted to the music so far in this show.

Loving the bizarre/eerie nature of it

WTF happened to Camille to cause her to be this broken? I can only assume there's more to the story of her sister's death than they've let on so far. I can't imagine that her dying of an illness would cause either Camille's, or her mother's, behaviour

Yep, she has some serious demons. Her younger step-sister is also definitely off. Can't blame her though, their mother is something else.

Is she?

Seems to mostly be what I'd expect the popular girl in Hicksville, USA to behave with a mother like that that is seemingly obsessed with other people's perception and doing "what is right"

 

[peppy la pew]

Thank the lord for foxtel IQ, will record all the episodes and binge throughout the week at a later date

Have you watched episode 2 yet?

Spoiler

What did you think about the whole fit in the living room?

Yeah.

Spoiler

I think she was playing up to the mother got some reason based on the little look she gave Camille

 

[Gasometer]

Finished the gruelling Handmaids Tale

Nekminit.....this

 

[PepeSilvia]

Really enjoying. Wish I had waited until the season was finished to start watching though.

 

[drd23]

Okay there's one demon but there's clearly a lot more going on with Camille.

The mother wasn't holding back in this week's episode and Amma is a real piece of work

Amy Adams is doing a fantastic job. We'll be hearing her name during awards season.

What has the mother been in?

What has the mother been in?

I recognise her from House of Cards but she's also been in Six Feet Under and Frazier, among other things https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0165101/?ref_=tt_cl_t2

Ahhh HoC the last season...!!

 

[Gasometer]

That last 30 secs

 

[drd23]

I have so many questions

 

[Unique Name]

Holy sheet!

That last 30 seconds, was that happening in the present or the past? Me and the missus did the old rewind and pause on the dead girl. Still couldn't pick who it was though, at first glance I thought it was little sister Amma but not the same dress that she was wearing.

Something up with Alan the dad, super reserved dude, took the headphones off in that last bit and kinda entered Adora's room with a different personality. Or was it just that he was drunk?

Also how ****ed up is Camille?

Really enjoying this show. It's excellent.

I'm probably looking too far into it, but after the FBI agent said how hard it would be pulling the teeth after trying himself on the pig head, they showed the Sheriff straightening out the Stop sign with a mallet and a pair of multi-grip pliers, and I thought "those would do the job"

 

[drd23]

Chris Messina's character is a detective with the state police, not an FBI agent. Plus I'd imagine plenty of people in a country town would have access to pliers, but you're right in that that scene might be foreshadowing something

 

[Warsaw]

The editing on this is something else.

For me it sits at that Venn Diagram of Gone Girl, True Detective and Big Little Lies. It's impressive in just how atmospheric and uncompromising it gets. I'm not sure what I'm hoping for or expecting, but it's been addictive to watch so far.

And man, Eliza Scanlen as Amma. Literally her only role before this was a stint on Home and Away. More than holding her own against Adams and Clarkson, and just a fascinating character in her own right. Buying all her stock.

Really? That is a massive step up in quality and as you say, she's doing a great job

 

[Gasometer]

I have two theories as to who the murderer is. I will post later on.

 

[Kirby]

Great show. Really enjoying it so far. Great acting by Amy and Eliza Scanlen in particular.

Camille is ****ed up but who wouldn't be with a mother like that? FMD, what a unit. Gas lighting her continually.

 

[Kirby]

Anyone watch the last episode?

Jeez, that mother. What a unit.
