I’m not going to lie but I checked the Rotten Tomatoes score of Widows (2018, directed and co-written by Steve McQueen) before I decided to watch it in theatres. As the title of the film suggests, Widows is about three women—or rather four—who recently lost their husbands. The main plot of the film revolves around the criminal activities that shape the lives of these characters.

Everything in this episode heightened next week’s finale for me. I can’t wait to see the big reveal of the killer.

In yet another episode of Sharp Objects, we see more character growth but no story.

In many ways, this show probably isn’t best suited for an audience member like me, as I’m impatient when it comes to dealing with a slow paced narrative. Sharp Objects, like many other HBO TV series, is good at keeping the audiences waiting.

“Closer” is all about Amma getting the attention she craves.

It is Calhoun Day in Wind Gap, and the town people are invited to celebrate what seems like an offensive fictional holiday at Adora’s front yard. There isn’t any new development for the show’s mystery; but there is new character development for Camille and Amma.

TV Review: Sharp Objects “Ripe” S01E04 💪🏻

Camille Preaker stans Kelly Clarkson, and I’m all for it.

This post for Sharp Objects “Ripe” contains spoilers, and spoiler discussion from the original novel by author Gillian Flynn.

Camille may have grown up in the small town of Wind Gap, but I’m glad to know she’s familiar with Kelly Clarkson. She says, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” while talking on the phone with her editor Frank Curry. Well… or that line could just be a total coincidence and I might be reading too much into it.
