Ok so I only originally watched this to see amy Adams but as it turned out the show wasn't bad it had alot of potential there was mystery and adventure I can see this show going far but my advice is don't get HBO just to watch this particular series but if you already have HBO to give it a try I did love Amy Adams as usual shes brilliant and very good here we shall see what happens with the show from here

SPOILERS (Mild)

Actress Elizabeth Perkins in an IMDB interview said the director would get so involved in the atmosphere of the show that he had to be often reminded there was a plot and things had to move along!

That pretty much sums up the entire problem with "Sharp Objects". The show meandered and stood in one place so many times it resembled a Still Life painting of a crumbling southern town with a crumbling old mansion and a lone car (Camille's) making it's way though a deserted street.

Was it well acted? Yes. Was it beautifully shot? Yes. Was it compelling enough to be 8 hou... perskaityti likusius.

Thematically interesting and brilliantly acted, but painfully slow and far too long

Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. I have known so many sick women all my life. Women with chronic pain, with ever-gestating diseases. Women with conditions. Men, sure, they have bone snaps, they have backaches, they have a surgery or two, yank out a tonsil, insert a shiny plastic hip. Women get consumed.

Although this eight-part HBO limited series has been advertised as a murder-mystery, really it's... perskaityti likusius.
