A series of mysterious events and crimes that follows the life of Camille Preaker who left her small hometown when she was young. Now, she works as a reporter for an important newspaper which gives her a mission to cover a murder occur in her hometown. She is about to return to her old bad memories.
Sharp Objects jettisons the completely linear, bird's-eye-view viewpoint we saw last episode on Calhoun Day to put us deeper than ever into Camille's masterfully edited, jittery, deteriorating mental state.
What comes across in "Cherry" is how the characters use words...When people speak, it's not so much the words they speak, but the tone and intent behind what they say.
Like a "plump, juicy cherry" with a "dark, hard pit." "Cherry" shows us the way Wind Gap views and shapes its women, treating them like gorgeous confections and leaving them with dark, resentful hearts.
What's fascinating is that Camille's old friends do have those resources, and some combination of inertia, fear and the pride they take in being at the top of the social order keeps them frozen in place.
Episode six is a mixture of great small details of crime and character interspersed between some scenes of the townsfolk socializing that felt too broad and clumsy to persuade me of their mob mentality.
"Cherry" is a powerhouse of an episode... It crackles and sings with such an astute understanding of mood it left me feeling as bruised as Camille does at the end.
