I've found every episode fascinating in its own way. The murder mystery is a distant second (or third) to its examination of trauma and the way it's been giving us morsels of Camille's story. I couldn't care less who the killer is at this point. I just want to know more about that fucked-up family.

He's either a van driver or did some camera work for 1 episode!

I'm two eps in, and I'm leaning towards deciding that this show is not good. I'm pretty uninterested. Also, serious lol at the article Amy Adams was writing to send to her boss. She is a great writer, and she is going to win awards for this story? That was the laziest, most boring, detail-less POS article ever. Like, wtf? They can't take twenty minutes and actually write something mildly passable?
I have other thoughts, maybe I'll get to them later

I saw the first ep yesterday...i though it was trying too much to be a ¨quality¨ series or something. It was trying so so hard when actually the book is a pretty straightforward pulpy thing. From Adams performance to the Photography or even the music, everything was a reminder of both True Detective or Big Little Lies.
I did like the montage tough.

I'm watching ep5 now. Every further minute that I watch just further confirms my judgment.

Loud restaurant walla (chatter) when literally NOBODY in the background was having a conversation. The lead guy's dialogue and mumbling were brutal, and his awful performance brought this poorly produced scene even lower.
There's some great stuff in this show; i especially liked the shot of the sister roller skating on her deck. But when it's bad it is really awful.
Re: the coffee shop scene
I’m glad I don’t have as keen an eye for this kind of thing because I think if I watched all my TV like this, I wouldn’t enjoy any of it.

But most shows don't exhibit quite so much disregard for what end up being annoying and distracting details
