Amy Adams, come and get your Emmy
A promising start. Amy Adams is really great and the story seems interesting enough. This episode was a little slow so I hope they pick up the pace some.
Raw, cloying and close. I felt drunk watching this and not just from the excessive amounts of alcohol consumed by the characters. Amy is fantastic as always, what a treat to get her level of screen presence spread across a TV series instead of the short time a film provides. Wondering where this will all lead.
Amy Adams was fantastic this first episode, I also really dug the whole small town atmosphere and damn, that final scene was disturbing.
less family drama, more murder mystery please.
Led Zeppelin in the soundtrack OH YEAH
Off to a good start. It's almost like watching Julie and Julia again with Amy Adams and Chris Messina. Except this is a darker version.
I'm not sure what to make of this right now. This first episode was bizarre. A hazy kaleidoscope of unwanted memories and past trauma blurred with a lethargic present day investigation, if you can call it that at this point.
The characters are very strange, nobody acts like a normal person. That adds greatly to the atmosphere but makes this a very unwelcoming watch. Amy Adam's gives a fantastic performance from the start.
However, my main question right now is how far into Led Zeppelin's discography Camille is going to get.
Great first episode of this mini-series. I haven't read the book so the story is completely new to me, which is great, because it's looks very promising. I also like the look and feel if the show. Definitely very HBO-esque.
Took me so long to figure out that Amma and Marian aren't the same people. I was convinced she was imagining an older version of Marian (aka Amma) roaming around the house. Pft.
ill give it another 1-2 episodes but i tend to drop it.
It is not known which is more oppressive, the people, their memories or their problems. The south and murders, for now we will continue
Sooo I definitely regret watching this at night.

Glad they ditched the easy voice-over path and went for visual clues path that's sometimes harder to convey on screen. That being said, Jean Marc Vallée did a great job at it, incorporating her childhood memories so vividly into the present in a way that clearly affects Camille a lot.
Two special things I loved about this pilot: how they turned the town into a character right from the beginning and the subtle words here and there (!!)
Overall I hope they continue to stay truthful to the book.
