Sharp Objects

[Rollergirl11]

Did anyone watch this? The first episode was completely up its own arse but I think I’ll stick with it!

Anybody have any ideas what the Mum is doing keep touching her eyelashes? Does she have that condition where you pull your hair out?

I’ve just watched the first episode and I’m not totally sold on it. I think it’s trying to be Big Little Lies but it’s not quite coming off. I’ll watch the next and see.

Gripping, strange, and atmospheric. Will keep watching....For the moment, anyway.

It's so weird. But the child actor is good. She was great in IT!
I hope it gets bette or tho or will have to turn off.

I thought it was the girl from It!

I was hoping someone would talk about this...I found it strange from the get go..The sound was really muffled I thought and hard to hear..Question: With all that neat vodka why wasn’t she rolling down the street? Yes, the eyelash thing and the weird stepfather...I’m going to watch it again as I feel there’s bits I missed. Odd.

I guess if you’re heavy drinking to that level long term perhaps your body builds up a tolerance to it? Yes any normal person would be obliterated by that amount of alcohol.

It has a very unsettling and malevolent vibe running through it. Her relationship with her mother is deeply fucked. Did you see all the words carved all over her skin when she got in the bath? The words all over her back must have been done by someone else?

I've read the book, and was intrigued to see how this would translate to screen. It's not disappointed me so far.

Ah when and where is it on?! I've read the book.

I liked it. Reminded me of the first series of true detective

Just watching the first episode now - not sure about it yet. For those who have read the book, does it all become clear? Is it worth sticking with?

Yes it does. There's a massive twist at the end. I like it so far.

Yep mum has trichotillomania.

A few twists not just one.

Does it need eight episodes?

I've just watched episode 2 on demand

Can anyone tell me what Amma said to Camille at the end, couldn't work it out

@MrStark she said "I think Camille can be good" to her mum and then "Can't you Camille?"

DartfordBridge I thought it was reminiscent of S1 of True Detective too.

the teeth pulling thing made me cringe 😣

DP not a fan, think he finds it slow, I don't mind the pacing though

Thanks

I find it very odd and slow but I'm sticking with it

I've seen Sinister Rich Stepdad play that exact role before but can't remember where

He was the dad in Revenge & was similar character in that.

The heat, claustrophobia and general weirdness of it all reminded me of S1 of True Detective, too.

I love Amy Adams and Chris Messina.

Episode 3 was pretty gruelling. Her mum is awful.

I find its slightly pretentious hard to followness quite annoying but it is intriguing

Yes it was Revenge I was thinking of

So many weird things like the fact she only has one top and pair of trousers which she also sleeps in

DH also likened it to True Detective. He likes it.

I find it slow and navel-gazing and a bit ‘meh’, tbh. Sticking with it for the attractive cop eye candy.

Patrica Clarkson is one of the best narcissistic mothers I've seen. What a monster!
