Sharp Objects is currently streaming in Australia on Foxtel Now and HBO Max, and in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and YouTube TV, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 1,086 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Amy Adams's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Foxtel Now whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Sharp Objects earns its spot. The plotting in Sharp Objects is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. Reporter Camille Preaker confronts the psychological demons from her past when she returns to her hometown to investigate the murders of two young girls. Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. It was aired in 2018. What makes Sharp Objects hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Sharp Objects delivers. If you have already watched The Sinner, Sharp Objects is a natural next step. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Amy Adams anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
