    Did you catch that quote from Rust in ep07

    “I sure hope that old lady is wrong, about death not being the end of it.”

    Yep. Rust's nihilistic worldview is one of the best parts of the show. Reminds me of my father in law before he got Alzheimer's. Too smart by far for his own good.

    Read the article (and linked articles in it) after you're done.

    Started watching Sharp Objects because Reddit says it's great and a spiritual sequel to TDS1.

    So far, I don't love it. Amy Adams is hard to buy as a hard-bitten chain-smoking alcoholic journalist.

    Wow, this ended up being a big bowl of up-jumped Lifetime movie crap. Nothing like TD.

    Amy Adams masturbation and sex scenes were pretty hot, though.

    Really not liking the acting of Jodie Foster and her black chick partner.

    Is she gonna be on the next episode of Reservation Dogs? If so, someone tell her to get her acting skills up.

    Actor transforming for a role. She doesn’t look like this normally.

    I mean, she's a female fighting sport athlete trying to be an actor. If you compare her to the one peer I can think of, Gina Carino, she's practically the love child of Robert DeNiro and Laurence Olivier for her acting prowess.

    Yeah the acting has not been awesome by pretty much everyone not named Jodie Foster, and the guy who was in Deadwood. Still enjoying the season though.

    I don’t see any terrible acting in this show. Can you guys give some examples?

    IDK about the intro music, it would fit better with a teenie drama.
