‘Pieces of Her’ is a Netflix original adapted from the Karin Slaughter novel of the same name. It’s a psychological thriller that takes you down a twisty road of family lies, manipulation, and murder.
It follows the lives of a mother-daughter duo who find themselves in the middle of a crazy altercation that changes the course of their lives for the foreseeable future. Toni Collette plays the shit out of the mother Laura, but Bella Heathcote couldn’t escape the annoyingly naive daughter who is Andy.
Andy was originally written as a terribly annoying daughter who can’t let other people live their lives and always needs to know what’s going on. She does this even at the expense of her own mother. Surprisingly, Andy was about ten times worse in the Netflix original.
I couldn’t stand imagining her while reading in the book and I couldn’t stand actually watching her in the show. She just doesn’t know when to quit or understand that her mother actually does know best.
The show itself is a good watch and leaves you on a cliffhanger so you know season two is about to be just as crazy. As long as you like yelling at the dumb character on the screen as much as I do, I think you’ll really enjoy this new show ‘Pieces of Her’.
