Sharp Objects (2018)
7/10
Beautiful but frustratingly slow
28 August 2022
Took me a while to get back to this series because it's really so painfully slow. I don't mind a slow burn, but this one frustrated me.

All that buildup was just for the last 2 episodes which happened quicker than I hoped, so quick you'll miss it if you blink. And was the payoff worth it? I'm not sure.

First, I wasn't all shocked, not even surprised. It was quite easy to figure out. I wanted much more from the final episode. After all those prior episodes (mostly fillers) you'd think they'd give you just a bit more for the finale. Instead, they went by it so fast and then randomly inserted a vital scene in the after-credits. Just why?

No doubt it's beautifully shot & acted. Final episode could've been better to compensate for the very very slow burn.
