Frammenti di lei

My god it is like pulling teeth or getting blood from a stone. There are 1.5 likeable characters out of 20 or so. Pointless dialogue ruins poignant moments. Depressing, stiff, irrelevant tripe and yet I watched it to the end. I've only got myself to blame.

....the daughter is annoying as fudge. I mean why don't you go around with a red flashing light on your head and a sign on your back which says 'I am the girl you're looking for' that would be less conspicuous than how she's moving around.

For the most part it isn't bad.... I think. I mean the daughter character annoyed me so much that I think the rest was okay.

I love Toni in almost everything but what the heck was this? It was literally a show on what not to do The daughter was the most unintelligent, bumbling idiot that I couldn't keep watching this because of her chsarqcter. Was this writing intended to make fun of a millennial and portray them as morons? If so, then it succeeded!

One of the earlier reviewers nailed it - it would have been a great 90 minute movie . The continual hoping back and forth between the past to present to past to present was annoying , distracting and uncalled for - the first episode could have set the stage for the remainder of the series far more enjoyable - also reducing the # of episodes to 6 would have helped the continuity and movement - One other reviewer said even Toni Collett couldn't save this series - actually she did - without her it was a 3 or less.

Toni Collette plays Laura Oliver, a woman with secrets, which are exposed during a life and death situation beyond her control.

This 90 minute story has been stretched over 8 episodes, requiring long pauses, unnecessary diversions and constant illogical behaviour by the main characters. As others have written, the worst character is the daughter (played by Heathcote) who whines a lot and seems to have a permanent state of confusion etched upon her face. Other characters are thinly written; the dialogue is poor and the pacing is glacial. The whole thing is just disappointing.

As a side note, this is another example of a Netflix production where the shooting location (Sydney, Australia) looks nothing like the setting of the story (Georgia, USA). Everything from the streetscapes, the flora, the lighting - all is wrong and it's distracting. Many shows are shot in different locations than the story's setting, but surely there needs to be a mild resemblance to the actual.
