Just saw ep 2. Man, they really try to sell this one as a complex and profound show. What a boring piece of shit. The book is way better than this travesty.

Re: HBO's Cavalcade of Misery Presents: Sharp Objects
I still really like this. I was falling behind and watched 2 episodes in one day, and I do feel like it would be even better if binged--the structure makes so much of trauma being a collection of memories, feelings, experiences, etc. that are experienced simultaneously and outside of time that watching all of this back-to-back-to-back would probably pile it on even more (in a good way).

I read the book so I’m committed to all 8 episodes of the show.
This shit is seriously creepy.

Jesus!
Through two episodes I thought this show was amazing... then probably the biggest nosedive in TV history.
