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.
It shouldn't be too surprising that Sharp Objects' first episode is so deeply, immediately compelling, but it will still come as a relief to die-hard fans of Flynn's book who feared the author's fierce, unflinching voice might not translate.
The real mystery of Sharp Objects is not the whodunit, but Camille herself, and all the tangled dark things inside her that are stirred up by her homecoming.
The episode lays the groundwork for a compelling murder mystery, but if the series is unable to make Camille's pain palpable, it won't do Flynn's novel justice.
It is gripping, strange, elegant and happy to be difficult; I loved the cinematography, in particular, and its resistance to being bent into easy shapes. What a series to start in a heatwave, too: it's clammy, sticky and soaked in sweat.
