Pieces of Her

Thank goodness, I had insomnia. The plot is frustrating, andvthe storyline does get lazy and lethargic. Every character is flawed so after a few episodes you stop rooting for anyone and just watch. If you got the time and a few hours to kill.......it is okay! Not memorable but it is very watchable.

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!

Toni Colette is always excellent. Her dark and mysterious Mum character in this was an interesting new take on her usual warm and funny presence.

The biggest let downs of this entire series was the daughter, played by Bella Heathcote, and the younger version of Toni Colette. Her (daughter's) script was boring and predictable, her character weak and scared whilst simultaneously defiant and rude. The young Toni character was weak, quiet, mousy, dead inside, and boring.

It always amazes me how Americans make it look like they've just stepped out of a salon after enjoying a blowout and style, when they've been awake for 3 days straight, in the same clothes and no shower. WHY??

Mainly Australian cast, so why not set in Australia?

I bet the book was enjoyable, if the characters had more depth, and I would like to read it.

Definitely could have been 4 or 5 episodes instead of 6, and the younger female characters needed to be less lame.

Is this series finished? Hard to tell from the last episode but it does wrap up the main story line.

There's a good, slow reveal mystery here based around flashbacks to a time in the United States in the 1980's not covered much these days. It also revolves around abusive and manipulative men psychologically tormenting women much like your average Lifetime movie but it's better than one of those.

The main problem with this series is that the character we follow isn't the tormented personality played by Toni Collette but her daughter as we follow her frantic path of discovery about her mom's mysterious past. Unfortunately the daughter isn't given enough sympathetic characteristics to elevate her above a 30 year old screw-up. She's initially portrayed as helpless but suddenly becomes a pro at evading professional security goons out to get her. Since, unlike all the other main characters, we are given almost nothing about her (except that she's a drawing artist), it's very hard to follow and care. And the other characters are for the most part flawed people.

Far too long for the content which makes it drag in places. I found the hopping around in time periods very frustrating and rather confusing which would be even worse if not watched in a pretty short timeframe ( in my case over 2 days).

Had it not been for Toni Colette I wouldn't have watched it to start with. But even though she's such a powerful actress it was still rather a disappointment but by no means as bad as the numerous 1 and 2 score ratings that some have given it imo.
