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.
While yes, I get that's the nature of a twist, there were very few, if any, warning signs, and the scope of Amma's murderous streak was wide enough to warrant more explanation than conjecture. Ultimately, the finale felt unearned.
The intriguing part of this episode for me is that it kept reminding me that it had hidden all the elements of its plot reveals in plain sight from start to finish, and banked on my overlooking them, almost because they were so obvious.
None of this acting comes close to the Oscar-worthy performance that Camille is forced to turn in during Sharp Objects' series finale, which aired Sunday night.
That gut-wrenching moment is why the show, and specifically this finale, is so brilliant, so intoxicating, and so potentially the best hour of television ever made.
It's a classic and frustrating TV trick to abruptly end a show and leave the audience to interpret what they just saw. But in this case, it felt as if there were simply too many big questions left.
It's challenging, powerful storytelling anchored by three of the best performances in recent memory, and a remarkable tribute to the dark, indomitable hearts of women.
But it's been clear from the start that Sharp Objects is not really a murder mystery, and anyone waiting solely for the resolution of that storyline will probably be disappointed. The show is a character study.
