Review of Ripe

Sharp Objects: Ripe (2018)
Season 1, Episode 4
7/10
Needs to pick up
2 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I really want to like this show, so I am holding out, but damn if they aren't making it difficult. Yes, it is intriguing, I like the dark atmosphere of the episodes and the acting is great, but....that's about it. We are learning more about the characters, but the case itself seems to be going in circles. It would be difficult to even put a spoiler in this because I don't know much more than I did after the first episode.

I read the book a few years ago, so though I don't remember all the details, I know who the killer is in the end. I'm not sure if this is taking away some of the enjoyment for me, but it is getting seriously difficult to stay awake. I would be less concerned if this was not episode four of an eight episode series. We're halfway through guys! I honestly can't make a distinction between the last three episodes.

I will watch next week, but if it's another snoozer, I'm out.
