i knew pretty early on who the culprit was and what was going on, but i enjoyed the pacing, writing style, and theme enough to keep going and not be too bothered by the predictability. i felt sorry for camille and felt her perspective was believable and real and raw. a compelling story regarding generational trauma, depression, grief, and a poisonous mother/daughter relationship. i've not seen the limited series for this, but i'd be curious to see how it holds up.
