Sharp Objects (2018)

Unique slow burn
26 April 2023
I found this series refreshing in the sense that it does not fit the usual TV network format of storytelling. This is a slow burn that requires you to make the commitment to watch the whole series...the rewards are at the end. It reminded me of art house movies and if I had to do comparisons to help you decide if this is your kind of show then I would say it reminded me of "The Killing (another excellent slow burn) and might be something that a Stephen King and David Lynch project might come up with. Yes there are lots of brief flashback inserts and at times it can be confusing but by the time I finished I almost wanted to rewatch so I could put all the puzzle pieces together.

The last twist at the end is excellent!

This show isn't going to please everyone...especially those with short attention spans, but if you like a slow burning head scratcher I would recommend this.
