Oh honeys, this is the best serial I've seen in a while.

This was better than I expected. Doesn’t reinvent the wheel but tells a complicated story with grace and intelligence. It was a bit of a ballsy choice to separate Marie’s own trajectory as much as they did, but the cumulative effect of portraying the investigative storyline in parallel with Marie’s own traumatization as a victim was largely successful. Dever is the MVP of the cast (but Wever is just behind her), and her Emmy snub is egregious.

I just started this and i don’t know if I’ve ever been so emotionally traumatized by a piece before. Watching Dever’s performance is wrecking me, I cannot believe it’s based on a true story.

one of the best TV series of 2019. Kaitlyn Dever and Merritt Wever are unbelievably good, and one of my favorite scenes in the show is Wever in the 2nd episode interviewing Danielle Macdonald in the squad car (a neutral, private space) because of how diametrically opposite her approach was to the antagonistic assholes interrogating Dever in the first ep. Wever is stoic without being withdrawn and sympathetic without sacrificing her objectivity, and she's got this amazing authoritative no-nonsense presence throughout that she inhabits so naturally. Still outraged the Emmys snubbed her and Dever. I read the book sometime later. Horrible story, and nothing really has changed.
