When the credits were over - I could barely move. What an insane journey this film took me on. I went in completely blind and couldn't even believe the twists and turns this story took. It was like being on a roller coaster. I cannot express my feelings but knew I had to jump on and give this a 10/10 in hopes someone will read this, seek it out (there's a beautiful new blu ray available) and watch it completely blind like I just did. Wow. Bravo to ALL involved.

Cannot express how brilliant Jessica Lange is in this film. What else does she have to prove in her career - nothing. She's one of a few actors to have the triple crown (Oscar, Tony, Emmy) and here she is at this point in her career giving one of her best performances, and that's saying a lot. As someone who has dealt with dementia in my own family this was a tough watch. The subject matter is dealt with much care however. The supporting cast is also fantastic, with a standout being Lily Rabe. But the price of admission is all Jessica Lange and she doesn't disappoint. This is a masterclass in great acting. Do not miss this. What an actress!

I'm compelled to write a review because I'm seeing a lot of misplaced negativity. I was born and raised in SC and I do feel this show nails the dangerous underbelly of the deep south. I truly love that the show is focused on a department that is run by women. These women are quiet, determined, and doing some of the toughest work that could ever be done. It's a wonder how a film company was allowed such access both to the department as well as the suspects. It's a study of criminal minds, mental illness, PTSD, and America's struggle to search and find justice. I'd highly recommend the series if you're a true crime junkie like me. I am in awe of these women.
