Sharp Objects: Season 1

1x05 Closer

This is the first episode of this show that I actually enjoyed. I thought this was very good. Maybe I am just getting used to the characters more, but I liked the relationship between Camille and her mother this episode, and with her sister. I thought her sister was sort of bratty and hard to relate to, but it's much more understandable here and the way they start making progress only to have the article tear it apart, then they make back up again was sweet. Camille's mom is also someone I disliked, but she really is quite tragic and I felt bad for her this episode. I guess she really is trying her best, though her best is rooted in so many outdated ideas and insecurities, but she started to realize it and open up about it, which is nice!

I also just feel Camille's situation very relateable. I understand being in a place that makes you feel like a bad person. And how hard it can be to do something as simple as visit a clothing store. Not to mention the torture of having to attend such a fake social event, haha.

I guess there's a murder mystery happening as well. I don't have any suspects. I'd guess it's not either of the two guys they suspect. I keep wanting to think it's that older lady, especially with how she literally spent the whole episode trying to shove herself into other people's business, but I'm not sure that really makes sense.
