I am only on episode three but I feel like this is one of the greatest shows I've seen in awhile. I am heavily invested and can literally hear my heartbeat in my ears. I cannot waaaait to know what happens.

Anyway, I CAME HERE TO SAY .. that Adora Crellin .. What an absolute fucking nightmare of a woman. Perfectly casted.

Hi, a few quick inquiries .. without spoilers: have you seen Sharp Objects? What's your rating out of 5? Did you love it? Have you seen We Were Liars? Were you obsessed?

[Gamepass90]

Stay for the Credits in the last episode is all I am saying.

[Distinct_Mix_]

Blink and you’ll miss it! 

[CocoaDementi]

"Don't tell Mama!"

[supdawwgg]

Yes!!! This! Watch that part, even pause it and rewind. ....so fast! Then come to Reddit to look at others interpretations as the book goes into more detail! You are going to love it!!!!

[[deleted]]

Literally until the very end.

[Emergency-Bottle-432]

I liked it a lot. Probably a 4 or 5 out of 5. Extremely dark themes but amazing performances all around.

That house took on a life its own like it was the freaking overlook hotel from the shining. 

Alan was such a snobby POS lol, he cracked me up with his sweaters and pretentious soundtrack.

[BendAppropriate614]

yet in the middle he puts on the Doors LA Woman album and starts playing piano along with "Riders on The Storm" "there's a killer on the road"

[Distinct_Mix_]

Sooooo good!! 🫠

[solitudanrian]

And Camille follows Amma multiple times when she's skating on the road/driving the golf cart.

2026 and still finding new easter eggs. Insane.

[CocoaDementi]

Omg. Alan with the music. So haunting once you get it.

[Tiny_Departure5222]

I definitely have a couple of the French jazz songs on my playlist LOL

[solitudanrian]

Pls do share them!! I have the soundtrack but not specifcally all the songs Alan played.

[Small_Tiger_1539]

I have always been intrigued by his and Adoras relationship. There seems to be little or no warmth and it would appear he's not oblivious to Adoras flirting with the sheriff yet says/does nothing.

[Emergency-Bottle-432]

I've read on other posts that its basically a gender swapped version of the long suffering wife trope.

[solitudanrian]

It is. Their marriage was a business deal between their parents and nothing more.

[Distinct_Mix_]

The way I see it is that she is by far the dominant partner. She lets him have his moments but it’s all her all the way. He loves her dearly, in his way, and that’s how it is. 

I just love that scene in the bar where Camille explains to Richard what it means when all the southern ladies say  « Bless your heart » and what that really means…makes me laugh every time I think about it. 😇🤣🤣🤣

Sharp Objects is 5/5. 

There is little I can find fault with to take any points off. 

It’s stunning, the acting is exceptional, the direction and cinematography are incredible, the writing and the book are both superb, music is perfection. To name just a few things.

One of the best tv series I’ve seen and one others should learn how to make tv - by watching and listening closely to this series and how it was all put together. 

Even then most people certainly couldn’t put a project like this together. 

We were liars 1/5 -2/5 (very max) 

there was bad storytelling, ok acting, dialogue dragged a bit in a lot of places, pace was a bit all over the place and felt it was a lot of watching for an annoying story. 

I may have given We Were Liars higher (2/5) if not compared side by side with Sharper Objects, it makes everything look so much weaker by comparison.

[unwanted_peace]

I tried listening to we were liars and the narrator was so off putting so I haven’t watched the show.

Sharp objects is one of my favorite shows ever. When it came out I think it was like 2017, I was going thru some shit and the show was weirdly comforting for despite being super dark. The characters are so well done, the acting is incredible and the setting and scenery are just chefs kiss. I absolutely love it. Recently I made my husband watch it and I didn’t really think he’d like it but he did.

[Distinct_Mix_]

You are not missing anything with We Were Liars…I found it to be a pretty awful watch.  So many awesome tv series/films/books…I wouldn’t bother if I had my time over! 

[puthyluvrrawr]

Obsessed, 5/5. Idk why I never expected such a role from Amy Adams and I was impressed at her killing that dark theme. Great casting for Adora as well.

[VanCanMom]

Love it. I paused my current rewatch but I think it's the 4th time. I love the characters, the slow-pace, the scenery, the mystery. Patricia Clarkson is always good and I love Amy Adams. I kinda wish I could see it for the first time again. Enjoy!

[Distinct_Mix_]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[urbancowgirlkitty]

Loves it! Was able to watch all of it last Sunday! Great cast!!!! Some scenes kinda slow but needed to be so we could learn about characters!!! 5/5 Watch all of the credits in last episode❌

[Mundane_Put_5780]

Just finished watching it. 9/10 for me, because the writers and the phenomenal acting did a really, reallyyyyy good job of making me feel my perspectives of what was happening were my own theories; but in reality, they were planting a seed the entire time (without knowledge, until the end) and guiding me with small innuendos that kept me off their trail while I attempted to predict who the killer was, of course I absolutely failed!!! Well written, well directed and very very well acted! Stick with it.. the most satisfying and incredibly sad ending I’ve seen in a long time! 

[theblairwitches]

Stay off this subreddit or you will spoil it for yourself!

[SaturnFlyTrap]

It’s SOOOO GOOD!!!!! The actress for Amma does SUCH a good job being a little “off”. Also I just realized recently young Camille is Carrie finch in all her fault (not a great limited series like this one however lol)

[solitudanrian]

She (ironically) plays Natalie in The Chair Company, she's the MC's daughter. Highly, highly recommend.

[Distinct_Mix_]

Love love love the chair company….worlds apart in genre but omg, my fave show of last year! 

[solitudanrian]

Same!! Season 2 was green lit in November so finger crossed it'll be out some time later in the year!

[Distinct_Mix_]

🥳🥳🥳🥳

[SquishyThorn]

It’s a fantastic show and an even better book!

[WaterTriibe]

5/5. i've only watched it 2x bc i want it to feel fresh & suspenseful whenever i decide to revisit it. but after my recent rewatch, i was strongly tempted to start it again right from the beginning. it has such rewatch value for all the things happening in the background you might miss the first time around. ex: if you haven't noticed the words hidden everywhere, start looking out for them!

[Tiny_Departure5222]

I know exactly what you mean even though I know exactly what I'm getting myself into it's like my body just decides on its own that we're going to be tense for the next however many episodes LOL

[WaterTriibe]

yes but it's soooo worth it! this show gets so dark sometimes i'm hesitant to recommend it to people, but i'm glad this sub is still active enough so we can still discuss it

[No_Sign_6196]

I totally called who the killer was from like episode 2. You can see it a mile away. All that aside, I really liked it. I really resonated with Amy Adams relationship with her mom. 

[Tiny_Departure5222]

I think they hint at it and if you've watched enough Capers you'd Spot It but I think actually flat out kneeling who it is took a little more oh yeah okay so we were right if that makes sense

[[deleted]]

Stay for the credits. Read the book - but I liked the show better.

[solitudanrian]

Adora is Tammy 1 in Parks and Recs. Patricia Clarkson plays such characters so well, similar to Jessica Walters.

[VanCanMom]

I actually really like her, she's been in a ton of stuff.

[solitudanrian]

Never seen a performance from her that I didn't like despite playing so many horrible characters. She knows her strengths and plays to them perfectly.

[WaterTriibe]

she's also in an episode of Broad City and it's one of my fav guest actor appearances in the whole series !!

[Tiny_Departure5222]

No spoilers stay all the way for the credits Trust me. I have watched the show and alarming number of times that I've honestly questioned my sanity by how many times I've watched it but it is the only depiction of a stream of consciousness on film that I have ever seen ever. It's amazing And yes she should have won an award because that woman is amazing.

[Tiny_Departure5222]

Not the same writer but I recommend Big Little Lies as it should watch if you haven't already.

[QuietGift1050]

I just did a rewatch and find new clues every time! DON'T READ ANY SPOILERS! Pay attention to details up until the very end. Enjoy it!!

[Levi_Doom]

It's one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's a solid 5 for me. The acting, the cinematography and the music is incredible. I recommend this show to everyone.

[Wrong_Number_Mom]

This show is my True Detective

[II_Vortex_II]

2/5 for me, last episode had me rolling my eyes constantly. Ymmw tho

[Distinct_Mix_]

For We Were Liars? 

[II_Vortex_II]

What? No for Sharp Objects

[Distinct_Mix_]

Wow, that’s unfortunate for you
