Sharp Objects

Season 1

This show is a lifetime movie dressed up to be something more. The drama is achieved not by unraveling a mystery but by showing brief flashbacks from the main character's youth. The mystery is very much secondary, and quite honestly, I forgot about it most episodes. Instead, we find out more about.... the past. Maybe this isn't fair in that I was watching this at the same time I was watching Season 5 of Fargo. In that series, you see what what character development and mystery really are. If this series didn't have such fine actors, you would not be able to distinguish from a Lifetime movie. It looked nice and was well-acted, but everything else about it is sooooo amateurish.
