Story of Camille Preaker, the young woman who left her small hometown years ago after she exposed to a series of bad events there. After many years, the newspaper where she works for tasks her to go to cover a murder occur in her hometown. But she doesn't know that she is about to remember a series of bad memories.
The real mystery of Sharp Objects is not the whodunit, but Camille herself, and all the tangled dark things inside her that are stirred up by her homecoming.
It is gripping, strange, elegant and happy to be difficult; I loved the cinematography, in particular, and its resistance to being bent into easy shapes. What a series to start in a heatwave, too: it's clammy, sticky and soaked in sweat.
The episode lays the groundwork for a compelling murder mystery, but if the series is unable to make Camille's pain palpable, it won't do Flynn's novel justice.
It shouldn't be too surprising that Sharp Objects' first episode is so deeply, immediately compelling, but it will still come as a relief to die-hard fans of Flynn's book who feared the author's fierce, unflinching voice might not translate.
